Looks like we won't be able to drop cards today. I received this disturbing piece of news in my email a few minutes ago:

Greetings,

Unfortunately, there has been an electrical fire at the data center housing Entrecard's servers. The servers have not been damaged, but the site may be down for as long as 12 hours.

Entrecard is hosted with ThePlanet, and this fire has effected over 9000 websites, as many of the world's most popualar websites are hosted with ThePlanet. They are working around the clock to get their data center back online, and we are hoping that they get it back online fast.

Thank you for your patience and understanding with this rare and frustrating problem. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing we can do but wait for The Planet to get their
data center back online.

Please check back with Entrecard in 12 to 24 hours.

Thanks,
Entrecard Team

I hope they fix it at the soonest possible time. Many of us rely on Entrecard for that much-needed traffic boost and exposure so this shutdown (albeit temporary) will drastically affect our sites. Good luck guys.
