    I'm wondering if the AWS outage is affecting Prolific - I have been 'verified' for years. Today it's asking me to verify again. But it won't let me accept the terms to do so. /sigh

    Been out of town for a while and just wanted to start to replenish my prolific money stash :)

    How 'bout Connect? Seems kinda squirrely, too. Keeps logging in...or not..or something? Is it on AWS too?....maybe we ALL are, and just haven't been told.

    TurkerView still works great tho. Truly the last bastion of the Internet.

    @ChrisTurk Good on you for cheaping out and hosting it on DigitalOcean instead of AWS. It's finally paying off. :ap:

    I wonder if the payment issues last week were a sign of cracks in the system.
