You are misusing the term, the software in use is open source and available to the public as such, public scrutiny. How we have decided to make use of this software and build the EEVBlog infrastructure is kept private as this knowledge makes it easier to infiltrate the system if someone does get a foothold in some software/service. This is called "operational security" and is very different to "security through obscurity".

KE5FX:
The term you're looking for may be "Defense in depth."  A lot of people confuse that with "Security through obscurity," but they aren't the same.

beanflying:
Getting some patchy issues with the Server in the last day or so not being available and just had a prolonged outage.

gnif:
We are aware, debugging an issue with the main website is having an impact on services.

According to my dictionary the use of obscurity was spot on. Your desire to keep knowledge of the infrastructure private  and not well known is pretty much the dictionary's definition.
