Yes, you've all guessed correctly. This is the second time that FB group has overwhelmed our server. We took down the direct link to Fukang until the storm blows over. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused anybody!

Hi Peter and List,

The group actually has 12+ million followers - more than capable of
causing a traffic spike that will overload a server.  Now, if only I
could find a way to sneak an AD into that group.  LOL.

The Met Bull appears to be working now, for me.  Bernd says it's still
down for him.

I wish that group would change it's name.  I am not a prude, but I
don't want my grandson seeing that on my computer screen.  It's a
shame, because that group posts some interesting things, but I hate
that obscene name.

Best regards,

MikeG

Hi,

I f.......... love science posted a link to the Meteorite bulletin
today. She
has over a million facebook followers. My guess is that it will take
a few
days for people to stop clicking on the link.

Thanks,

Peter

Subject: [meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Off-Line - Traffic Overload

Hi Jeff and List,

As of now, the Met Bulletin is offline. When I try to access it, I
get the
following message in plain text on a white screen :

"Due to excessive traffic, this resource has been temporarily
disabled.
Please try back again tomorrow."

I thought everyone should know, and just in case Jeff was not aware.

Best regards,

MikeG
