The site's had some downtime recently for which please accept my sincere apologies.

There was a major problem at the hosting company, Westhost, and thousands of other sites went down as well most of which are still not up.

It's a long story but a sequence of events has left Westhost out of pocket by a fair bit, made many customers very angry, and had the dedicated server that hosts these forums go down for a long while.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience. There may be a bit of instability over the next day or two but hopefully the problems are largely resolved now.
