Over the weekend and into Monday we unfortunately experienced some pretty severe downtime on all Envato WordPress blogs. The downtime was due to problems in the data centre of our current hosting company which was out of our control.
It seems to all be resolved now, but I just wanted to make a quick apology for the inconvenience and interruptions. We’re going to be re-examining our hosting setup to make sure we avoid this situation in the future and to generally try to pull up the quality of service across the board.
In the meantime there may be some further minor interruptions as we shore up the setup. Thank you for your patience!

Its a free service, why should you feel like you need compensation?

No worries, these things happen to everyone. Our you planning on staying with your existing host or looking at alternate options? What was there explanation for the downtime, a full weekend is unacceptable.
Thanks for the heads-up! I was a little concerned that something worse might have happened. Thank you for keeping your users updated, and good luck evaluating your current hosting–could be quite tedious.
