Those of you who pay attention to my TTLB Ecosystem ranking (see right sidebar) may be wondering how I went from a Large Mammal to a Wiggly Worm in such short order. Well, the ecosystem rankings have gone all to hell. The rankings are currently filled with dead sites you've never heard of and 403 Forbidden pages from Blogspot. I searched for my blog and couldn't find it. I searched for Instapundit and couldn't find that either!
I don't know if this is a temporary problem, or if N.Z. Bear has simply abandoned the project, or if it's something else. If anyone has a clue, let me know.
UPDATE (9/2): Well, the ecosystem seems to be back to normal, so I suppose it was just a temporary problem with the MySQL database as Jed suggested in the comments. But the Ubercarnival and Hot Topics still aren't working, which is a shame.
Anyway, the dead blogs and 403s are gone, the bigwigs like Daily Kos, Instapundit, and Michelle Malkin are back where they belong, and I'm back to my "rightful" place in the lower half of the Large Mammals contingent. I wouldn't mind going back to Maurauding Marsupial, really, because I like this picture of one of those:
