Hi everyone.

You may have seen MW was down for a long time over night.

Our hosts were subjected to a DDOS attack and this crashed the Server MW is hosted from.
In the end we had to restore the site from a back-up to get us back up online, it took over 10 HRs of work fo fix but at least we are here now able to post once more!


Some of you may find some of your threads or posts missing and I am sorry if this is the case. At this point I won't be able to restore them as they would have been made after the last back up was taken of the site.

Thanks everyone for your time and understanding in this and the forum is now fully open for all your posting needs!


Welcome back MW!

regards Peter.

Lorri remember the server is still being looked at and restored so it will be a little slow untill everything is as it should be.

Most of yesterdays posts are lost I'm sorry to say, if the person you sent a PM didnt read it then you will have to send it off once more, that also means VM's to user profiles too

Thank you very much for your hard work in bringing the site back up again Peter. Your efforts are truly appreciated.
As a side note, late last night (CST) Facebook was also brought down as had occurred with MW.
Again Peter, Thank you.

Thank you all for your understanding.


At this point I feel I should point out that until the Server 100% stable MW may be slow to respond or sometimes stop working altogether, this is necessary pain until everything is back where it should be.


Thanks for sticking with us.


:thanks:

As to there are glitches in our communication ...
there are glitches we have to fix when communicating with the devine in ourselves...

this is just a small projection that we should pay attention on fixing the communication with self also....
