forum down!! update

[admin]

as most of you that have tried in vain today to access the forum have figured out, the forum server was down today

i called the hosting company,
they told me the server that hosts this forum and several others was attacked by a hacker, so they shut it down
till the idiot quit pinging.

evidently the idiot gave up and we are back up and running again.

just wanted to let you all know, that we had no problem with our forum, it was just the server that hosts our forum
that was shut down to keep the hacker from gaining access and hosing the system.

thanks to all for your patience
