There was no attack and no mess. The server simply had to be restarted.
Hana that's considered dereliction of duty you know. But you are the queen so you can skirt the laws.
I truly hope that's all it was. Two other sites and this one all went down at approximately the same time. RO, which has been up for a couple of days, was definitely the target of a DDOS attack. The other, also a conservative-oriented news/politics discussion site, is still down. Was the server crash (need for reboot) due to something mundane?

Actually Pete,
Since FL is a pilot, I thought he was going to make like a plane and take off.

As the cabbage said to the carrot, lettuce leaf.
I love trees! They are raw materials for building things, making furniture, and heating dwellings that ... well ... grow on trees! And I love animals! They make tasty steaks, chops, roasts, yogurt, and cheese, and nice looking jackets, belts, shoes, and wallets!
