You may have read in the news about a2b2 / VAServ / cheapvps being hacked:

This is why the forum has been down since Sunday

Sorry to hear that, Hobbsy. It must have been a worrying time for you. Glad it seems to be OK now.

Okay -- so the forum's been down since 11pm on Wednesday evening.. and has only just come back online this morning around 6:45am
I'm definitely going to look for a new server to host this site on, as I am fed up with the downtime .. especially as I'm trying to build a community of A+J fans here. It's really disappointing to keep having the site go down and feels like I'm letting people down.
Hopefully over the next fortnight I will migrate to a new server -- so if the site is down you'll know why

a2b2 - to be fair, they've had around 4000 VPS servers to get back online so you can understand why there's been problems this week
