Craigslist experiences listings outage
Updated at 11:43 a.m. PDT to report that the site appears to be operational again.
Internet bulletin board Craigslist experienced an outage Sunday morning of at least a couple hours that prevented users from accessing listings pages.
Instead of seeing housing or job listings, visitors to the site were greeted with a message that said, "Unable to process request, please try again." However, the entire site didn't appear to be affected, as basic site information pages are still accessible.
The site's system status page reported that it had recognized the outage around 9 a.m. PDT: "we're poking around for a fix (vigorously accelerated poking)." Full access to the site appeared to have been restored about three hours later, but some users scattered around the country reported continued problems with access.
The cause of the outage was not reported, and calls to Craigslist representatives for comment were not immediately returned.

And i cant even rant or rave about it.
Cali is close enough to Seattle's Hub and we can't still get connected. Why , oh why , oh why can't a simple webpage / website work in this day and frickin age?

You are complaining about a FREE website being down??? Maybe you should ask for your money back. :) Better yet, take the outage and your withdrawal anxiety as a sign that you need to push away from the computer and get out into the real world.
I have seen people addicted to heroin, and I have seen people addicted to what I call The Idiot List....Same symptoms...I bet there are people freaking out across the nation because they are separated from their "friends" on the message boards. Dorks can't get "dates" for 150 "roses"..... Cheapskates can't find a free sofa....Socially retarded people can't talk to their "friends" on the rants and raves board.
Why do people get so hooked on craigslist? Are there that many people that are friendless and lacking in socialization skills?
Get lives, people.....
When you publish someone as a fraud your listing is gone within minutes after it is published.
Come on ,like the old saying goes "you don't get something for nothing"
I think ebay is the way to go if you want buyer/seller protection.
Most sellers and buyers on Craigs are honest but you get the A--Holes that ruin it for everyone else
