Apologies for the extended outage guys and gals.

As Terry said in the other thread, there was a DoS attack on the server which isn't a big drama, but when the server was rebooted a misconfiguration meant that apache (the web server) didn't restart properly. Hence the outage.

The site was not hacked. We're working with the server hosts to come up with a better solution to avoid these outages in the future.

What is DoS? It certainly was amusing going to your home page and seeing "hi" or "hehe"......

A DOS is a denial of service attack. It is when the server is bombarded with requests.
