| You've probably noticed we're being subjected to a pretty continuous DoS attack, probably the way the lefties or Islamists celebrate 9-11. I'll try to keep a close eye on things until they've got it out of their system. We can probably expect to see the troll population increase in the next day or two as well. If the front door is closed, don't forget to try getting in using http://www.rantburg.com:8080 or http://www.rantburg.com:81. The attack's on the default port (:80) so they should work unless the firewall's overwhelmed. |

| #8 Thanks Fred, for clarification, I thought it was me, posting a message and crashing Rantburg. My mind is all at rest now. |

| #7 Thanks, Fred. I didn't manage to get into Rantburg until late yesterday afternoon (5:30PM, MDT, 7:30pm, EDT). Of course, I also recommended Rantburg to all the folks at the 497th RTG Alumni page the day before, so that may have been part of the issue. Hope they took my advise. |

| #6 Be a shame if port 80 connects got forwarded to aljazeera.net, Fred. |
