Re:Short outage

Members,

As you may have noticed, the site was down again yesterday (Monday). The cause of all the downtime over the past 3 days, as well as the big crash a few months back when the database was lost have all been attributed to the same problem.

There was a security flaw in the operating system, which was enabling hackers to gain access and do their dirty deeds. I will not say who these parties were as it can not be verified, but I am sure you are all aware that there are those who are not so happy with what is going on at this site.

In any event, after the crash yesterday, our server was completely restored with and the operating system was reinstalled. I believe this will resolve these problems and that the server will remain stable for some time to come now.

My most heartfelt thanks go to all of you for your continued support through these rough waters.

Regards,
Sui Juris
