Greetings All:

Well, I have NO idea how in the hell such an innocent thread turned into flame fodder, but I don't like it! So chitlens, behave yourselves!

As for the site. We went down due to some database problems, not due to ddos. Basically the site shut itself down because of some strange database connects, the database thinking that it was being hacked. In reality, it shut itself down, several times, due to new features that I added without updating the strings in one of our database monitoring programs

Sooooo, I went through and updated everything that needed updated (i think), and it shouldn't happen again (i hope).

I'm closing this thread since the issue has been explained.
