We're sorry to report that PPX is temporarily out-of-service due to a network-wide problem. Our technical team is working hard to rectify the issue. We estimate that it will be back online in an hour or two, and we apologize for the inconvenience! —The PopSci.com Team

What time was this posted? You've already got a bunch of questions to answer on PPXBroker...

An hour or two from when?

Can we bet on the next time PPX will go down?

Its been down for a long time. Its been most of the day. Hmm well we will see. Maybe my stocks are doing really well. I got two months for when it goes down next.

The site has been down since at least 1 p.m. Eastern on the 18th, and I've been trying every few hours since. A Futurestock for PPXCRASH would be great, with the timing set for 2 months.

It's been well over two hours since this announcement came up. It doesn't seem likely that the site will come up overnight.

Still not up, 9:13 EST on the 19th. Now reporting a MySQL connect error, looks like the DB server died...

xc rocks

Just joined yesterday and made some trades. Pehaps we should have a way to find out how I'm doing.... oh yeah, We have that.....
Forgot to hit the EAST button I guess.
