Discogs vanished off the planet in the middle of the day yesterday. Anyone know what happened?

Is this discogs.com

Still works for me.

yeah, i'm talking about discogs.com. it really works for you? i wonder where the server is. i can contact other servers on the same netblock without a problem.

edit: it's also not just me.

I noticed that too while browsing some Omni Trio stuff yesterday afternoon. It started that album covers didn't load anymore and about 10 min. later all i got were time out errors.

(and i still can't access it)

i'm sure it is just some network errors, that would be dissapointing if they went offline...

but i get annoyed with discogs with how much shit they h ave.... sometimes there are 10 versions of one albumn. that is just a huge confusion...

also, how slow is allmusic.com lately? they are terrible slow

releasing 10 versions of an album is the artist's fault, and getting confused is your problem

there are definatley times where the same albumn is put up more than once... people do differnt write ups cause they think there's is better... i think if discogs turned into a wikimedia site that would be good. then you could edit out the stupid shit that gets all over the place...

i don't think there are so many double albums. if you look at the details, you will see that maybe the label is different. take the KLF for example, they released their stuff on different labels over and over again. and a good discography includes all of them, even if they have the same tracklisting.
