Hello,

I would like to apologize to anyone that tried to access the site yesterday and early this mourning. I'm still trying to get all the details so I don't exactly know why the site and forums were down for the better part of th day and this mourning. Once I get more information I'll update this post.

Once again sorry to anyone that experienced problems trying to access the site or forums.

EDIT: Ok so the reason for the downtime was due to the server getting a lot of DOS attacks causing the data center to take the server off line until it could be restored.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a DOS attack?

When someone uses (usually) hacked computers to connect to a server all at once taking up all the download slots, until it eventually just overloads the server.
