A big thanks to Chris, Rolf & the guys at the data centre for all their hard work over the last couple of weeks trying to keep us up and running.

Believe me - behind the scenes there has been a LOT of hard work configuring filters and blocking the hijacked zombie bots that have been attacking us.

They have to wait for the infected computers to be switched on by their owners, hence why there are unaffected periods very late night and very early morning.

PS. Have to correct the comment above, It is only Chris and the server management team who are working to counter this threat, it is way above my pay grade. :-rofl2
