yeah, the first *attack* was a dDos attack... which in turn brought the DNS thingy down causing us to use this forum on an unprecedented level, totalling now 3 ocassions within the last 4 months.
Questions should be asked as to how this was ever allowed to happen more than once anyway - not just here amongst ourselves, but at least at top end management (or whatever they call it!)
Weighing up the evidence tho... each time, it's been the same sites affected. Google, Yahoo, Flickr, BBC... to name but a few...

We can only hope there's going to be an explanation into all this, and hope is all we're probably going to get!

I can understand some websites going to poo sometimes.. but when clusters of sites go to poo and we're all experiencing the same problem, then it's something bigger than your average size poo.
