I'm not sure exactly what prompted this. Hopefully they are doing something which will make the system more stable in the long run :)
1/29/2009: At this point I don't know that the outage actually took place. I checked back 2 hours and 15 minutes after it was supposed to have started and Revver was (presumably still) up and running. I haven't seen any indication from anyone that it actually went down at any point during the planned time period.
1/29/2009, 4:47pm: Ok, now it seems that Revver and all related sites (and video serving) are down. If I knew more, I'd tell you :)
1/31/2009, 10:55am PST: Ok, now I know more (I think). Although Revver is still down, to the extent that the Brad Greenspan's quote in this article on CNet:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10153816-2.html
can be relied on, it looks like Revver will be back online soon (although it's already missed the time frame specified in the quote).
2/2/2009, 8:22 PST: I see Revver video serving is *FINALLY* back up again (along with Revver.com). No sign of the Revver forums, the Revver blog, or LiveUniverse.com and PageFlakes.com yet (not that I really care much one way or the other whether those last two non-Revver sites are up or not, but I checked out of curiousity). And I mean my heavily emphasized "finally" in the sense of "Good grief, it's about time!" rather than in the sense that I have any firm conviction that it won't go down again. *

Although I am prepared to wait throughout the weekend for Revver to regain consciousness, I am so tired of this.

You and me both! It's a shame that Revver's really good points are marred by frequent technical problems and a long-running failure to pay their users what is owed on a timely basis.
