Title: Website Down
Post by: Admin aka Dan on August 20, 2006, 17:15:58

Hi All,

The website was again hacked this weekend, and unfortuately I was away, and therefore did not know, sorry everyone.

The site is back up now in a limited form, some posts may have been lost, and I applogise.

If anyone notices anything untoward, please let me know.

Cheers

Dan

Hi all, glad we're back up and running. the only slight abnormally that I can see, is that I cannot find the page where you can go to unread posts since last visit, normally obtained througyh pressing on the Allotments 4 all button at top of screen.
Very pleased to have it all up and running though, thanks Dan,

So relieved to have it all back again -- have just recovered from coping with problems with my pc (turns out to be bad sectors on the hard drive ( :( ) so I was busy blaming myself!

Thank you, Dan.

Great to have it back Dan! What a sad & lonely bunch these hackers must be. I can just about understand when they target massive multinationals or government things, but A4A?!?!

I mean we're probably one of the nicest collective group of people you get, meeting up on here to talk about vegetables, flowers and mud, and how the weather affects all 3.  And there's a distinc leaning towards self-sufficiency which has more than a whiff of hippie about it ;) so hardly a valid target to any claim of fighting against the system. If you see what I mean.

Ramble over.

Some people just want to create misery. I'm not saying all hackers are like that, but some definitely are!

It's great that you are back, but what a pity some revolting little scrote out there thinks its fun to spoil the enjoyment of a lot of like-minded folk, ie a gardening/allotment site!!

Sad times!!

Would be nice if you could use some of your skills on their site. Or just send their details to JRP. He has the axe answer to most things ;)

I did the same as MrsKP, coz I thought it was my computer.  Too wet to garden, and no A4A - borrrrrrrring weekend!  Ended up having to do housework and cook and other such things to pass the time.
 
It's like meeting up with an old friend again.
