Yep. My hotmail has been causing great trouble and strife lo, these few days. Couldn't get in at all yesterday or day before, and am slooooooowly getting in today. Very slowly. Still loading. Yawn. I think I'll go for a beer and wait.

Is this a sign of the apocalypse? (bad internet, i mean, not beer)


Maybe it's just a problem in Turkiye

Where have you been? Do you have a life or something? Dave's was down for about 5 days (felt like a month) Wink and many people here had small heart attacks.

I emailed Dave cause I was sad... I couldn't read people's funny stories. I was soooooo lost. =p

Hey Dave,

What's going on with the site? I hope it is down for maintenance and not gone forever!

RESPONSE:
This past week our site came under a 'service of denial' attack from hackers, which caused our server to lock up. We've consequently ordered a new and more powerful web server, as well as software to combat this problem, and should be up and running by this evening.

All the best,

Dave Sperling
Founder
