As I said before, I am incredibly happy to have you here once again. Please don't stay mad, it was something no one could have foreseen and took us much longer than anticipated to track the issue.

Ok, with the help of all of you who sent me the advanced data I requested earlier today we were able to trace the problem back to a anti-DOS (denial of service) server side program that literally went rouge banning people's IP addresses. I asked for the log of banned IP's to be erased and as soon as that was done the site began working again for many people. If you are out there unable to access the site PLEASE let me know. As far as we know though, this issue has been resolved. |
