How long has amatomu.com been down? I’ve seen on Friday that somebody mentioned it on twitter.com, it’s been two days and still nothing, are they migrating or shutting down or drying their hair as seen in the Google search results?

According to my ping machine, the host is unreachable.

PING www.amatomu.com (196.33.227.230) 56(84) bytes of data.

Speculating at the amount of traffic that site is getting from South Africa, I reckon they are migrating to bigger servers, hope to see them back online soon!!!
