Welcome back ITA. I imagine Grant & his crew have been very busy resurrecting the site over the last couple of days, but I'm curious to know WTF happened? Ciao Rob

Only God

Only Grant can answer that question. As far as I am personally aware, it was a combination of Server and Domain Name issues.

Where have you been?

Thanks Rob, Jeff and all for the patience and my apologies this has taken so long to resolve.

Strangely enough the problem wasn't with the server hosting the site at all. Some people were able to access it just fine throughout the outage and would have had no idea anything was wrong - except that it was awful quiet!

The DNS server hosting the domain information went down. Without this most people's computers didn't know where to go to find the site. I wasn't sure whether or where the problem was for a while because along with others I could still access the site. Once the problem was identified I'm afraid my hands were tied and I could do nothing, the solution was outside of my reach and required restarting another server hosting that domain detail. 

The domain is up for renewal and I will take this opportunity to switch the hosting to a more reliable host than the tinpot virtual machine it currently resides on!

Cheers
Grant
