Why was the site down yessterday?

Why was I unable to access TV Forum throughout yesterday? I know for a fact that this effected everyone, in fact, my computer couldn't find the IP address!

(Probably a topic better placed in the Lounge)

Simply, the server that hosts TVForum (along with several other sites) has been maliciously attacked over the last few days - resulting in the complete loss of the server from the day before yesterday.

Asa and I thought we would not see our sites again for a long time (!), but amazingly they were brought back on-line again yesterday evening.

The host was attacked again and the server turned off whilst the logs were retrieved and sent to the authorities (FBI in the USA), and measures have been/are being put in place to ensure the server will be less vulnerable in the future.

Yeah, I did try getting onto your site too, and it's IP address wasn't recognised either. Oh well, it's fixed now. Obvoiusly TV Home uses a different server, it stayed online!
