Without going into details, in the past few minutes I’ve just taken (defensive) action that may result in the wrath of spammers. If the site goes down (DOS attack) or becomes flaky, hold tight and be patient.
Update – Looks like matters are rectified. A big thankyou to Annette and Stacy at Hosting Matters for their help in mopping up.

Death to spammers!
…there she blows!
Arrrggg
pissed off a few Jihadi lovers eh ??
Morons of the world attack!
Casino lovers, more like it. Still doing battle with them here. Don’t be surprised if the site goes off line.
Climateaudit was also off this morning, have’t checked to see if the website is back up. maybe our lefties are feeling a bit more bold in preventing any sort of debate, on any subject online. Nope, CA is still off line.
Unable CA also.
All out attack by the Gore Suzuki crowd ?? Makes one wonder, as their career/ financial hit will be severe —- to say the least.
More like some geeks in their parent’s basement taking a break from internet porn.
Good luck Kate.
Does this involve pliers and a blow-torch?
CA’s new server was being relocated today. It’s back up now.
You know, Kate, as the former IT Minister of Nigeria I could help you out with this problem if you send me $10,000 to buy you more bandwidth and a personal staff of IT specialists on call 24/7. I was able to help Polly Toynbee of the Guardian newspaper. Email her for a reference.
