What is up with mandriva.com?

Everything about it! Heard the news? What! is Ubuntu bankrupt? Has Mandriva started marketing? Have you taken a sky diving course?

I guess you have to pay for serverspace, so this might be a bad sign.

Well I see them back up now at http://www2.mandriva.com/ - checking the forum now at http://forum.mandriva.com/index.php , and... I get Page Load Error. Something is clearly going on, either that, or they just haven't gotten the forum back up again.

Edit: I've also noticed when you click to download a file from www2.mandriva.com, like from here for example, sometimes it comes up with no file, saying Page load error - it's timed out.

That makes sense - that's where the majority of their bandwidth allotment at the site will be used; there and the forum.

The forum has just come up for me; however, I don't know yet how stable it is.

Well, unlike poltergeist, they keep going away.

This is getting a tad on the ridiculous side. Either go up or go down guys. Either way is fine, just do one or the other and keep it that way, will ya?

This time, qa.mandriva.com is down, the main site is down, everything is.
