Persianblog.com is out of service

In case you are wondering what has happened to persianblog.com's weblog that they are on the top of Blogdex, I have to say that there seems to be some serious problems with their servers.

They've officially announced that one of their hard drives is broken and they are trying to replace a backup drive. But then in a tech news group weblog, ITIran, Alireza Shirazi challenged the official announcement by accessing weblogs using queries, instead of sub-domains. (So the data is still there.)

So, as usual, rumors about what has actually happened, have started to develop. Even if it's a simple technical glitch, Iranians can not help themselves making up the strangest conspiracy theories. Although I'm not exactly a fan of Persianblog.com services, I guess this time is a technical issue again, as always.

Update:
- After about 24 hours, everything is back and running. But still seems that Persianblog.com prefers to hide the real reasons.
