Site Explanation
Could we please get someone of authority in here to let us know what the hell is going on with the site? Everyone has been complaining lately but nobody is telling us what is going on. Atleast put something up in the forums letting us know what the changes are that you are doing or updates or whatever so maybe we won't get ticked off as much.
Anyone? Anyone?

Our server has been under attack for the last couple of days... Every time we think we've got it secure enough an attack comes from another location. And then while we're working to secure it, the data center pulls the plug on the server to prevent further attacks. It's frustrating for all of us, just hang in there and we'll have this sorted out as soon as we can.

Somebody uploads a script that gets around the security we have in place, and it prompts our server to start sending out massive amounts of data to another site, effectively bringing both sites down... ours goes down because it can't do anything but send out that data, and the site being attacked goes down because it can't do anything but respond to the data.
We think we've got it, though. Keep your fingers crossed.
