I keep stepping on these END OF THE WORLD signs.  Will y'all please pick up your trash when you scuttle away?

For those of you that KNOW for a FACT this is a scam site, just move on to the next post.

Just to clarify a few things. Maybe the problem is non-native English speakers?
    A Problem with the blockchain.info API is not the same thing as a problem with the blockchain. It only impacts sites that use their API to make transactions and get prices, etc. It has nothing to do with the rest of the bitcoin blockchain world.
    Why do some sites rely on the blockchain.info API? Because they need an API from someone, or they would have to roll their own code.  Using someone else's API is generally the easier way to go.   Hindsight aside, it usually works well... although I remember a few times when it crapped out in the past. Note that it took a dump for every API user, not just your favorite must-be-a-ponzi site Scrypt.cc.
    Why would they shut off trading and chat?  Granted,I would love to see a news update or message box explaining why - but it makes sense to suspend trading while the 1) manually process transactions to clear up the queue and 2) allow the queue to get down to a manageable size so that it doesn't continue to be a problem.   Chat? Well, that trollbox sucks. It eats resources on the trade page, you can watch how much traffic it generates to your browser - imagine how much it generates to 800 at a time, not to mention the work it has to do that doesn't get spewed into the chat box.  Personally I would love it to be gone, or replaced with an IRC window or something.

Trade is working at the moment, deposits are coming in slowly (big queue with all those .001 deposits). My daily withdraw processed, life is sweet.
