I've had to disable the Gravatar plugin I use due to gravatar.com being down frequently. Anybody know what's become fubar over there?
Update 10/08/06:The Gravatar blog explains what the problem is.
A recent 50% increase in gravatar requests has pushed the current server to the limits, and response times have slowed accordingly. I have disabled signup and login while I migrate the database to the Gravatar 2.0 schema and setup the new and improved gravatar servers.
Once Gravatar 2.0 is operational, I’ll re-enable the plugin.

I didn’t know that the service is frequently down. I was just about to implement this pluging into my blogs, but after I read your post I won’t do it.
Thanks, you saved me one more headache
