If they can get the money off him then it would pay for a new server. ;)

I tried emailing robin at the castlecops.net address, but there's some problem with the email not going through. I tried paul at the laudanski.com address, and he did get back to me. Unfortunately, they don't know why the server is down, and the hosting staff is out of town at a meeting (APWG?)

Yes it is. Sadly, no mention to its users as to what is going on.  :(

In fairness, if Paul's not allowed to have any involvement in the site, and Robin can't even get email (mine bounced), and she's got a newborn keeping her up and two toddlers to take care of while her husband is 2000 miles away trying to sell the house, and the hosting service wasn't treating their free hosting problem as an emergency, I'm impressed anything got done at all.

Greetings Bill,

...And down again.

I did get the home page, but when I tried to login, it timed-out.

Returning to the home page and refreshing resulted in a time-out.

Perhaps I've been banned...!  ;D

Kindest regards,

James

Hmmm Hardware forum pops open, but not GCP or XP.  ???

Somehow two people managed to send me PM's during the up time (and it's not like I get PM's very often), and I haven't been able to answer the one or even read the other.

That's one thing I like about this site - email notifications of PMs include the full text. :)

Wonder what it was?
I searched for further explanation but found none.
