Some of you may have noticed we have had a bit of down-time recently. Apparently it's due to a DOS attack but it should be under control now.

DOS Attack = Denial Of Service Attack.....pretty much what happens when people have little time on their hands to do constructive things

Haha, I had the same reaction as Ur-Vile..."DOS? That can't be right..." It sounded amusing though. "We've had a sudden attack of DOS! Quarantine the Watch!" :roll:

I can only imagine the angst you must have experienced making that decision ;)

Hahaha, it's funny when the Watch disappears during working hours, and I'm left sitting here thinking "Oh. What do I do now? No Watch, nothing else worth looking at on the net.. Hmm... Hmmmmmmmm.... Wait a minute! I could...do some....work........."

You broke it Darth :P

Seriously though, the mysql server was taking too many connections and crashed - I think it's a hogwash story myself but I'm too tired to argue the point
