Minecraft forum severs down?

Minecraft.net is down because it got flooded with the last update (plus some extra youtube/general internet publicity from Rock Paper Scissors among others).

The forums and wiki are nothing to do with notch or the main minecraft project but they are presumably down due to similar extra traffic and people demanding to know why the main site is down. Its a bit of a vicious circle I'm afraid.

All minecraft sites (minecraft.net, minecraftforum.net) are down because they're so busy. Notch will be bringing them back up as soon as possible.
