Literally.
Entrecard’s host has been the victim of an electrical fire and won’t be back up for up to 12 hours. That’s 12 hours of dropping you all miss out on :( but don’t worry - all your credits should still be intact. Lets see if they compensate people for the advertising time they miss out on…
Update: It seems Entrecard is once again serving ads, so good news for those who are paying entrecards for ads that weren’t showing EXCEPT that the ads don’t link properly (if you want to test this, try clicking the ad on my page, just links to Entrecard’s error home page). Hopefully they’ll get this sorted out soon, but they’ve updated there site saying they have no ETA, so it’s anyone’s guess when they’ll be back.
That is absolutely terrible that they had a fired! Pray all is well soon, because fires can be devestating.
In the interim what us Entrecard droppers could do would be to spend that time visiting websites and commenting on the posts. It’s a good thing, because it helps to get your name out there and to help the search engines find your name with your rankings. Or Stumble some pages or Technorati some.
Or, we could go out and hug someone…everyone needs a hug! This guy got banned from hugging:

Fortunately, it looks like Entrecard is back up and functioning pretty well now, so it seems that the outage has simply given us a one-day vacation from our dropping routines. For me this was a welcome break because I managed to log in shortly after the site came back online and was able to scoop up some relatively inexpensive advertising deals.
