volunteer run and volunteer paid servers sometimes go down. you may not be used to this happening with large, for-profit websites.
I literally remember when sites like Reddit, Amazon, and even Google went down. We're so used to crazy uptimes that it's easy to forget that real servers and infrastructure have real problems.
I remember when 'literally' wasn't the only adverb people knew.
