Sorry about thatSubmitted by Pinhedd on Sat, 11/21/2009 - 22:20 |
Okay... Sorry about the longer than expected downtime. My host did the reinstall monday night as I expected... but they installed the wrong operating system. It took them another 48 hours to get the right one on here. So, everything's back to normal and the underlying problems which necessitated a reinstall seem to have been resolved.
On a related note, due to an attempted brute force intrusion that actually brought the server offline this morning I have blocked ALL traffic to and from china along with a whole slew of IP addresses which have been associated with malware, advertisements and other malicious acts. In total this totals over 200 million IP addresses. If you find you cannot access the site from home/work or the like please let me know by mail (pinhedd@northstaravengers.com) and I will remove your IP block from the blacklist.
