Why was the site down for 1 month ??

Hi guys

We have been offline for almost a month, and so I thought it only fair to let you all know what happened.

Some of you would have noticed the first signs that things were going wrong a few weeks back when the layout on the front page started looking rather strange. The annomalies were at first attributed to finger trouble, but when the problems kept recurring it was obvious that something else was amiss.

It eventually became clear that someone had hacked into our site and was using it to distribute malware. Attempts to have this resolved with our Service Provider proved fruitless so we were left with no option but to move the site. (This move should be seemless to you, but requires the moving of servers, software and email)

For some unknown reason our old Service Provider also decided to load an old version of the website, and as a result we may have lost a week or so's worth of posts. But we persevered and prevailed. The forum and site may look different as it has yet to be customised. We felt it more important to bring you the forum as we know many of you were missing it.

We will be making some cosmeting improvements over the next few days, but know that we are back online again!! and its great to be back with you all!!

Again, please accept the team's sincerest apologies and know that the inconvenience was not intended.

Yours Through MS and beyond
