Seems we have been the victim of a DOS (Denial of Service) attack this afternoon which caused the site to go offline
Kawa is currently working on the issue, and we apologise for the downtime

No that was Kawa cleaning up the front page (at JayJay's request
), the forum itself was working.

If I were cynically motivated, I would say this as well.

The attack was not specifically against this site, but the server it sits upon.
Half a million requests per second!
