I guess regardless of the rep score, we all are. Me and @ghulammujtaba work at the same office and kept discussing the same on every smoke break. We were literally bored to death not being able to browse it. For a second we both doubted the network guy but later figured out it wasn't just us, nobody was able to browse it and we got to know it from the twitter.
But glad to have it back and yes, thanks to your post I just got the brighter aspect of it.
Believe me, I'm glad it's back too!
