As posted on our blog:
MorphMarket market and community sites experienced several hours of downtime this morning due to a major outage at Amazon Web Services. This outage has most likely affected thousands of websites, although some of the larger sites (like Reddit, Twitter, Spotify) may have only been affected in some of their services.
