It was nice while it worked, now it switches from "Error 503" to "0".

Very Sci-Fi. The fontsize will have to be reduced once we reach >999 people in space.

Down for me :(

I believe its circa 7 billion, if we only count those humans present on or around our own planet.

Arg, opening links in new windows by default! I can do that myself if I want to, thank you very much.

Got an error 503. A refresh loaded the page fine the second time, as did subsequent refreshing. I couldn't repeat the error.

Ooh, I've been wanting to make an iOS app for something for a while now. This should be a nice easy thing to sink my teeth into.

Hah. 503 people in space. I must be the only one who finds that funny.
