Site seems to have been dead since 3 this afternoon, but just come back this minute!

Anybody know what happened?

It's still stuffed at the top with loads of code but I can now post!

Just one vital piece missing - we aren't taking orders yet!

Server upgrade gone wrong, left us no choice but to upgrade all the blo**dy servers.

An' these days you have to let staff go home to bed. I remember when we slogged away for three days none stop.

We'll be back.

By the way, did I tell you that we are officially the number one games site in the UK now - according to NetValue (or at least we are when the site is working). I'll dig some stats out for you some time, as I like telling everybody about it (repeatedly).

I reckon the reason it went down was due to both Teleglobe and another routing provider going bust in the last few weeks. A lot of sites have had to find new providers, and there's a lot of DNS updating that has to be done by a lot of engineers before the web gets back to normal. Literally millions of websites have been affected.

Either that or Webmaster dropped some cigarette ash in the server.
