i read on another forum about this website "www.ihubstatus.com" It shows the status of the iHub server (Some programmer i guess wrote a routine to verify this ) and also give a VERY accurate list of the channels that are available. I did verify that it is working and the server status is sure enough accurate. Check it out. Also, this should cut down on the amount of posts of people asking if the server is up or is it down.. Might want to make this a sticky or add it to one of the existing posts
