its been horribly slow all weekend and now its down for maintenance, does anyone know whats going on? Its one of the websites I check daily and I want it back!

[forsure]

It's working for me now, for the first time this w/end.

Working for me too! I know it sounds strange but if you've gt an anti virus etc try turning it off. I can never get crash.net to load when my anti virus/spyware thingy is on there seems to be something on that site it just doesn't like letting load?

[deevlash]

its up and running for me again too now yay!

no it isnt, the front page is up but every story says;
"Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"
when I click on it.

All the pages are working for me, I've got it open in another tab now and have read a number of the stories so it must be something at your end.

Agreed, I got the front page - initially with question-marks everywhere, but now looking normal. But still can't get any further.

Must have been doing maintenance, fingers cossed for Monday.

Working here no problem.

As some of you may have experienced during the weekend, we suffered serious reliability and speed issues at Crash.Net. Certain countries were affected more than others due to the volume of traffic and the millions of requests made to our servers.

Our technicians worked tirelessly night and day through Friday/Saturday alongside the technical support department at Microsoft, who we would like to thank, to ensure the service was restored on Sunday. More improvements were made during Sunday and the site was returned to full capacity this morning, Monday 14 July 2008.

We apologise for this break in service, which is the first time in our history that such a serious issue has occured.
