The Outage

[PetrolTed]

We're back!

As many of you will have realised the outage was down to a Denial of Service attack on our servers. I am unable to say who mounted the attack.

I must say a big thank you to my hosting company Carrenza who have pulled out all the stops to defend this attack which turned out to be of a monumental size.

I'd very much appreciate it if speculation and comment about the attack was kept off the forums as that could lead to other difficulties for us.

Let's resume normal Gassing!

I'd also like to thank the enormous number of people who provided moral support and technical assistance - too many to list. Thank you all. In times of crisis it's great to know how many people are rooting for you.
