Due to Hackers, the entire web-server was shut down for a week, and then rebuilt.

The server is now Win2000, and has gained an extra 768MB RAM (now a 1GB RAM server!!!).
This should mean much better performance all round.

Games have been suspended, and I will resume them shortly once everyone knows that the server is back up and running.

While the site & server are being restored, things might be a little sluggish or even unstable. Please be patient as we try to get things back to normal...

Thanks to everyone for their support during this crazy time.
Alex.

I thought something like this has happened when wargamer.com was hacked as well. If you guys haven't spoken you should as they have traced the hackers to Brazil.
When will the games start again?

Same problem here, and there are too many players active in the games or at least thats what it says at the startpage

Things are still being fixed on the server.

so for the next few days, things might be a bit unstable or sluggish.

just have to wait until the hosts finish stuff on their end i guess.

We all have been impatient. But this attack can be seen as a proof that the site can stand up and rebuild, albeit a bit slowly. Hopefully the games starts soon, because for many of us it will be difficult to play during holidays. Wish good luck to all.

Tuesday 18:00GMT My games are accessible, all is as usual.
