The site was offline for over 24 hours. I emailed Alex but no reply. Obviously I'm back on the site now.

Welcome back everybody! Lol

Just the usual server crash lasting 24 hours this time because there's no one to fix things like that except Alex and he seems quite removed from WP. I have a feeling in the not too distant future it's going to be a permanent shutdown.

Yeah I'd like to hope that. But I'm suspecting it was down so long due to neglect.

I was having fun on Asipes Central in the meantime. Made a whole bunch of posts.

To further elaborate, we have attackers constantly hitting the site trying to take it down.

Thanks. If other sites were the size of Wrong Planet, they'd be targets of attack as well.

We get a lot of traffic.

Hang on, so who would want to DDoS attack the site and why? Does WP have enemies? I noticed that the site was down yesterday.
