Another forum I occasionally visit - British Mods also had a very similar problem recently - wonder if they were on the same server tbh. It was always going down with no warning.

AFAIK doesn't Tim/Ian run all of this through a colocation service, so doesn't rely on a middle man, just the datacentre themselves.

Ahh shit, thats really bad news for them, i consider AJ a good mate and he worked hard getting the forum where it was
I rarely go on now since selling my 206 2 years ago. Hopefully AJ sorts it all out for everyone

It always amazes me how many people spend thie hard earned spare time on site development etc and then just rely on a 3rd party to back it all up.
With space not being a premium its easy to do.

Would need to be quite some failure to wipe out redundant drives and backups in one go.
