As you all no doubt noticed, our site was down for a few days. Here's what happened. We were the recipient of a DDoS attack. If you're not aware of what one is, simply put, someone sent a group of infected computers to use up so much of our resources that it overloads us and forces the people we rent the server computer off to shut us down. It was so bad that we spoke to our host company and they told us that even going to our very own server instead of using a shared one wasn't an option. We were left with two choices. We could either close the site down completely, or we could find a company that specialises in DDoS protected systems and move everything to their equipment. The fact we're up and running again lets you know what option we picked. This means two things. You should find the site much faster now, as it's on a much more powerful system and can (should - we're still keeping everything crossed for a while) cope with any further attacks. Also, we're having to pay a lot more to keep the site running. The new server is costing us around $250 a month so I'd like to ask you all to - if this site helped you and saved you money - please use the donation button at the bottom of each page to donate money to us. It can be anything from 5 dollars to a one off donation of your choice. Without your help we won't be able to keep the site running and helping people. Thank you all for your understanding and long may this site keep on fighting the scammers.
