Service has been mostly restored while root cause analysis is still going on. Thanks for being patient with us.

Freecode is currently down due to networking issues at our datacenter. Thanks for bearing with us while site operations fixes the issues.

And we're back. If you notice any oddities, reply to this tweet or hit us up on help.freecode.com/ – Thanks!

We'll take the site offline for a few minutes to move a few backend services around. Sit tight!

@subwiz Let's take that discussion into our help forum please as it's hard to convey in 140 characters. help.freecode.com/ ^PL

@subwiz We certainly toyed with the idea of adding Like buttons to the project page. But how would that allow following of new releases? ^PL

@shadowknob That's not a bad idea. I'd assume you'd want to see the stream of new releases of your followed projects in there?

Side-effect of the new name: We're finally able to track site-related activity here w/o wading through pages of high-school tweets :) ^PL

@apgwoz Thanks, glad you like it! ^PL

@powersoffour Not to worry. All URLs from freshmeat.net will indefinitely redirect to their counterparts at freecode.com. ^PL

@PowerDNS_Bert We'll do our best! Thanks Bert! ^PL

@miblon Thanks! Great to know that some people do like change! :) ^PL

@markpbeckman None if we can help it. We obviously kept our previous domain and all requests are being redirected to their new locations.

freshmeat has been renamed to Freecode. Check out this article from our founder for some background information. freecode.com/articles/whats-…
