I can remember that the Realm was down even more often and not connected to any drama before so I guess the downtime can be legit and must not be connected to recent drama.
Hosters sometimes move from one server to another, change PHP versions or upgrade infrastructure. The 503 error from today doesn’t seem to me like something Torm did but more like such a hosting change (I am hosting pages myself so I know what I am talking about).
Anyway, it’s back online and works, so who cares?
