@SoftLayer I'm happy to see that Softlayer is taking a clear stance on SOPA and PIPA

@gaberivera SoftLayer is amazing. Hosted a few boxes through them long before they got big. Best CS I've ever experienced.

@softlayer Please fix what's broken in your WDC datacenter. No one will tell me what's going on and it's getting really frustrating.

The site is back up and fully functional. Sorry about the downtime. The master database's network interfaces failed. @SoftLayer is on it.
