http://isitup.org/downornot.com http://isitup.org/downornot.com downornot.com is up. It took 115 ms for a 302 response with an ip of 208.94.146.70.

  Sure, it responds to a request, but is it really what you expected when you go to downornot.com?

  Not sure how they get a 302, I get a 500. And in any case, a 302 is a redirect, they should follow it to know if it's really down. http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/downornot.org http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/downornot.org gives a better result, in my opinion.

      Yes, that's the content, but the HTTP status is 500 (Internal Server Error). Try with curl or a tool like http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php

  http://www.isup.me/downornot.com http://www.isup.me/downornot.com Gives the correct response - site is down. The www. is, of course, optional.

  HN's backend should occasionally submit things like this as a 'poor contributor' CAPTCHA. If you vote the story up then HN can penalize the account for dragging the site down.

Someone likely used up their free quota: OverQuotaError: The API call datastore_v3.RunQuery() required more quota than is available. I'm guessing that running a query on initial load is likely for capturing metrics. This should get refactored to fail silently and potentially also use a memcache-backed counter: https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/scaling/memcache#transient https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/scaling/mem... Basically, store the count in memcache and only commit to the datastore when the counter hits a certain amount. You run the risk of losing some of your analytics but it's more important to keep your resource usage low and your app online than it is to capture every single hit.
