What the heck is rateyourmusic.com? As far as I can tell, it seems to be a service that many bloggers use for comments, and it seems to be down a great deal.

Why do you need a separate server for comments? I don’t get it.

I’m talking to you, Jane Galt and Joanne Jacobs (though there are no doubt many other offenders, which is why the system is bogged down so much of the time).

And it’s not just a matter of not being able to read or post comments. It doesn’t do any good to get off blogger and blogspot if we have to wait for some other overloaded system to load before we can see your page.

If you don’t have it, move over to Moveable Type, and run your own comments, on your own server.
