I tried signing up on Thursday. I filled out the account information, submitted, the site spun for a few seconds and replied 'Important: Your account couldnt be created at this time. The system is unavailable.' (Note no apostrophe in couldn't, verbatim from site.) Twenty minutes later I received an email 'Your Marketplace account has been created.', with a link to verify my email address. I read the email an hour later, clicked the link, and was informed that the link had expired and that I would need to re-enter my account information. I realize that the plural of anecdote is not data, but there's got to be some multiplier of plural that is data.
