Well, yes and no (and no offense taken). With IBOL, the local mod still runs and displays and accepts wall posts just fine regardless of the state of the hub. Then once the hub comes back online, any new posts get exchanged during polling. The user doesn't know (or care) that some other system is down.

With the EC OneLiners, if EC's board is down, the mod won't work at all because
it's trying to connect in real time to something that isn't there. I've seen it take a long time (a minute or more) to time out in such cases, doing nothing but display a black screen. Most users aren't that patient and assume the board isn't working right and hang up.

That's the single point of failure I'm talking about.
