[Update] Site Downtime - 24th Dec 2004

Hi guys,

We've now been given the green light by the providers. All exploit processes have been killed, and server load has now returned to normal. We have also received reassurances that systems are now in place to prevent this happening in the future.

Once again, apologies for the downtime.

In total there are 81 users online :: 2 Registered, 0 Hidden and 79 Guests

Most users ever online was 150 on Fri, 24 Dec, 2004 2:01

So it got hit today obviously and still is since it shows 81 different ips browsing the forums. Who does that and why?
