Honestly, I have no idea what's going on. I'm sure some of you have noticed the fact that the 2ko server has been offline for about a couple days now.

What's going on is a mystery to me at the moment. I'll try contacting the host and seeing if I can figure out what's up. Maybe a restart might help, maybe not. I'll be damn pissed if I lose all those CG's there... I at least have enough space now to keep them on my hard drive for the time being...

As of now, I'm downloading all of the CG's that I have and will keep them for archive purposes until I can find a reliable host to host them. If someone would like to help, then please contact me and we can talk about it.

Looks like it's partially back up.

Ok, here's the scoop. I'm aware of the spam in the boards. Do not email or PM me about them. I will get to them AS SOON AS the MySQL server is back up. I will personally ban the IP that posted the pictures in the request board, so don't worry. I will get to them ASAP.

And no, I haven't gotten a word from DH yet about what's going on.

As you may have noticed, we've been offline at various for the majority of this week.

This was mostly down to a DNS attack affecting quite a large proportion of of our host's network servers, but we've also had possible potential issues with the server the site files are hosted on too.

This all seems to be working at present (touch wood!).

Another issue you may have seen was once we came back up, the imageboards and forum were not accepting new posts, and we were unable to rid the board of some spam that appeared just before this week's trouble started.  That was down to an issue with the MySQL server.  I've not received word from DreamHost about what went on there, possibly Twin has, but it seems to have resolved itself now.

You should be able to post on all imageboards now, and we'll be able to snaffle any spam that's turned up.

Thank you for your co-operation, and if you've got any pointers towards different hosting or, heck, even any donations, please let us know Smiley
