Sorry About the Downtime
it seems that starting yesterday afternoon, we were under a spam bot attack. the bots tried to log in hundreds of times in a handful of minutes and brought the site down. this happened on a several occasions from yesterday afternoon to today. we are working to resolve the issue. thanks for your patience.

the downtime today was due to another bot attack...we are trying to weather through this until they pass us over and have also installed some software (server side) to block as many bot ips as possible. thanks for your patience.

I think the real thanks should go out to you and all you do for us that call this place home.
