Rocketboom, the hottest video blog since Dick Clark's "New Year's Eve on the Internets," cannot survive without ex-host Amanda Congdon. I didn't believe it until I saw the above error message at Rocketboom.com.

Seriously, why is Rocketboom down when the front page was nothing but an error message? The site might struggle when the chesty Amanda Congdon jumps ship, but is her exit really an excuse to let the whole thing go to pot?

Or did all the press really overwhelm Rocketboom's servers? In that case, at least rewrite the error messages to include some payable text ads.
