I can ping it and
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/# says it's up.
but the page source code is displaying this.
Which suggests to me it's been hacked. The Russian on the right is basically talking about online telephone directories for those regions.

That's a nightmare.
Its really difficult trying to keep on top of these things when you've got a day job too. Hope Rob can sort it out, and if there is anything he needs from us, I'm more than happy to help if we can.

I wonder if it has been hacked by one of the 'Off Topic' messages we have been clearing recently......Quite a lot have had 'Registered users' having Russian e-mail addresses.

I suspect so. I'm working on it.
No further news that that at the moment.

Just a quick update for everyone, not looking pretty. I'm so f**king angry! People have put thousands of hours into that site and it's contents and, well, you don't need me to go on
I'm half tempted to use the chance to do a redesign on something more stable, it was stable enough when it was released but clearly isn't up to the job anymore. A start from scratch job.
If anyone has any suggestions of what I can do with the place feel free to PM me. It was never ever to be a competitor to this place so if anyone has suggestions of things which complement it send them through.
All files are saved, that's one bonus. The problem is there's thousands of them and I have don't know which is which!
Rob.
