i'm sorry to have to tell you all but the site is being subjected to a cyber attack. A DENIAL OF SERVICE attack.

Apologies if the site disappears or other weirdness happens but we are beavering away in the background trying to sort it all out.
(Well Simon is, I'm just wringing my hands looking over his virtual shoulder!)

Simon says:-

It's coming from various places, I've been blocking them as I spot them, but its all done at server level so only for me to resolve.
if I don't work out what the actual attack is in the next few days I'll turn cloud flare back on as it does a stirling job blocking this kind of stuff.

The F Register has been hit with a lot of spam emails at the moment on the forums :pinch:
Simon do you know where they are coming from ?
If you do I can have one returned to them that will close them for at least 3 days ;)

That's a pic, at night, over my shoulder and through the looking glass. :)

I can probably remove your current avatar if you like, then you can add a new one.
