Flickr question

Does anyone know if Flickr is still living?  Was it ever living?  Are the site owners under the impression that eight minutes is an acceptable window for a page of images to show up?  Are their servers from 1782?

I checked other sites, and they're operating, so this isn't my ISP or PC.

When a site becomes a matter of waiting two hours to see if the page loaded, I think it's time for that site to declare itself no more and pull the plug.  Hm.  Maybe they have but didn't tell anyone?

Utterly bizarre.

A mess of new posts at Lee's Comic Rack!

Well, three new posts.  But it seems like a mess.  (Wait a minute....)  I mean, like a mess of.  I mean....

The posts:

1)  A set of marvelous 1873 picture stories from The Little Corporal.

2)  "Froggie and His Friends" from the June., 1873 Our Young Folks.

3)  An early 19th century chapbook (about the size of a large postage stamp!) that could easily be reformatted into a comic book.

All this, and then some, at: Lee's Comic Rack
