its been a bit bogged down for me today, but I've been able to get on.  My bigger concern is the fact that none of the orders I expected to be updated to shipped have done so thus far today, and there's not much today left.  A coincidence?  Maybe.  OR MAYBE NOT

rise_against: same here since early this morning says its up but I keep getting connection is timed out?
I know there is probably info on the forums to figure this out but is there an easy fix/is it my connection issue/or is the site just getting too many hits?

>:( Silk Road is - DOWN

As of: Tue Jan 31 03:51:42 UTC 2012

Sure as hell hope this is temporary. After weeks of studying bitcoins, pgp setups, setting up accounts to buy bitcoins and transfer funds, it would be a bitch to have it shutdown for good. It has been a lot of jumping through the hoops and hope it comes back up.
