Thank you for all the kind, supportive, and predictable jokes about Elon Musk buying National Zero. It really means a lot to us when our readers reference current events in mocking our misfortune. It was almost like the spirit of National Zero lived on for the few hours while it was temporarily dead.
Without getting too much into the weeds and speculating on what happened, we know it was some conflict within WordPress, the platform on which this site is built, likely between two plugins. The Ukrainian-based support staff with our host, Namecheap, were very helpful and responsive in helping to get the issue resolved, but we also went ahead and just fucked around with uninstalling and updating plugins until it was unfucked too. So it’s all good for now, thank you for sticking with us and we look forward to the next unexpected shitshow taking our site down.
