I was talking to Trition and about the site having that put up. At first I thought I was banned from the fourm, but I couldnt get on to the front page either.

its pretty simple really, he exceeded his bandwidth when the site was posted on slashdot (the the site got slashdotted!)...sucks for accessing a site, but great for exposure

however i have no idea why the forums remained accessible, is it hosted on another server?

Really you could still got on the site? I coulnt get the fourm, from page anything. Thanks for explaining why the site went down... seems funny that last month Ben had a lot of Bandwidth left, now its being exceded.

Man I was scared too (as gannon probably knows), I thought I would have to go and find another hobby. I was wondering what could have happened and I thought maybe somebody had hacked into my account and done some serious spamming.

Whew!

I couldnt get into the forums, main page, or even email ben. I tried that link from doomportables and it didnt work either.
Lets not let this happen again okay ben?

I emailed Ben, saying some pretty embarising things (I thought I was banned) but luckly the email bounces and was never sent.
