That is a mysql issue, not a NATS issue. You are grabbing for desperate things now, I don't know why you feel the need to attack NATS.
However, even thought it is not a NATS issue we can not reach joel but we are on his server looking to fix it
It seems that mysql is not running at all, but myisamchk is so it appears as if his host is trying to do something with mysql. We are on top of it and it will be fixed shortly.
THAT is the kind of service NATS provides it's clients.
