Over the last few days my traffic had dropped by a whopping 75%. In addition I had reports from several users about server not found errors and all other sorts of goodies.
Well, after contacting my crack commando squad of computer hackers (my buddy), the source of our problems has been identified and fixed. Apparently our DNS server had crashed and didn’t notify us of the incident. What took down the DNS server is still a mystery and we’re looking into it.
To all those who missed out over the last few days, please catch up and take the Religious Freaks Slogan Survey if you already haven’t, to help me pick a slogan or two or three :)
Thanks for being patient and I apologize to those who actually had to work instead of f*cking around here ;)

Yaaaay back!
Well I was one of the people who was completely unable to get to this page. I thought that the scientologists had hacked the page in response to your article on them ;)

There was a DNS provider that was getting heavily DDoS’d and was loosing service. That may have been the problem. Glad you are back.

good you’re back, i was getting afraid that some of those threats might have been a little more serious.

Well the DNS server is my buddies and we’re not sure what took it down. He’s going to be hardening it soon and setting up a failsafe server as well.
Hopefully this is the last time we’ll see this happen :)

if he was using OpenDNS then the problem was a giant DOS attack on them because of their domain blacklisting. stupid spammers

I couldn’t get here for days, and it just happened to change at the same time I moved and changed ISPs. I thought there were Christians in my internets keeping me from the site. Glad to see you’re back up and running. Now I have a few days worth of articles to catch up on.
I think i saw something about women’s volleyball. That article needs intense study.
