    The PubSub service is and has been stable for quite some time and our user numbers continue to grow quite nicely.

    One minor feature on our site, LinkRanks, has been offline since Feb 9 as we work on improving and testing the ranking forumula that drives it. Our goal is to produce a formula that is less susceptible to spamming and explicit attacks. We expect to re-enable this feature shortly.

    If you wish to criticize us for having taken too long to re-implement LinkRanks, I can accept that. However, your claim that we’ve be “plagued by system failures” is simply not true.
