I keep getting the “Error 500” message. Nothing loads. And their Twitter profile is completely useless. So frustrating.

It is back up for me now, I can open it fine, but it was definitely down up until recently. I kept getting “Error 500” message, and it said something about internal server error.

I believe you. The other website says they were down as recently as 22 minutes ago, which is right around when you posted the OP. Seems to have gone back up right after you started the thread. 🙂
