Outside elements; somebody took a bit of a disliking towards us and decided to try (quite successfully) and take us down. These kind of attacks are notoriously difficult to protect against but equally as difficult to maintain so this will be a passing storm. Just don't piss & moan if the site runs like shit for a day or so.

I've also set up a script & cron job for the server to automatically detect & reboot apache (5 min intervals) if it goes down, meaning the site shouldn't remain down even if I'm offline. The only exceptions to this would be a total system failure, or a powerful enough DDoS to continually keep crashing Apache making the reboot inconsequential.

Welcome back.

Indeed, was a nice touch. Was on Facebook too, which is where I'm personally more likely to see it.

Not sure if I saw it on twitter or Facebook first, but it was appreciated.
