Entrecard Application Server Failed

Was dropping my EC when suddenly everything seems to be slower than the usual (sometimes getting to other sites using my entrecard dashboard is slow, but not this slow!), then this came out after around a few minutes of waiting:

Entrecard application server failed

Update: We are currently experiencing heavy database load, we're working on it and service is expected to resume shortly.

The server that does the complicated work has not responded in time, this could be due to load, due to an upgrade happening, or something else even weirder. An alert should have been triggered to the admins so they're no doubt trying to deal with it right now, we recommend trying again in 10 minutes.

Have been getting back to the site (after every 15mins, or so), but still i get the same result. Looks like my drops will be slower this time, too ... and lesser. lol. ;P
