<p>
- Signalboost is currently at capacity and existing channels may be
- experiencing intermittent downtime as a result. New channel requests
- will be added to our waitlist while we're working to make our service
- more reliable. Thanks for your patience while we tackle these thorny
- technical issues!
+ The Signalboost service is currently down for some much needed
+ infrastructure improvements. We've been deeply inspired by the demand
+ for this tool and hearing about the amazing things our community has
+ been able to accomplish with it.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In order to better serve you and prioritize the wellbeing of our team,
+ we've decided to pause operations until we can offer a stable and
+ reliable service. We anticipate this downtime will extend for the rest
+ of the month, and we'll post updates as we know more. Thanks for bearing
+ with us! You can reach us at signalboost@protonmail.com with any
+ questions.
