it should be right now that there's some posts on page 4

unfortunately df2 has asked us to delete his content from the website so we have deleted his username from the forum and this has resulted in his posts also being deleted we were hoping that his posts would have stayed put and we could have edited them to display that the user had requested they be ...

we've got it back to normal now
any speed issues you experience are now normal!

c@w and craigrat are busily configuring as we speak!

the server is running slowly at the moment due to some weird problem with our intrusion detection system

we are attempting to fix it

oops, it was a bit more downtime than we planned. sorry about that!

spindoc, thanks for the heads up, we'll take a look

if anyone sees any other errors, please let us know by posting them here. thanks!

we are upgrading the operating system on the server this afternoon, so there will be a (hopefully!) small amount of downtime this afternoon

excellent, thanks df2
(we weren't sure whether you wanted to make your PM public!)

thanks df2, we've got back in touch with your acquaintance he has generously offered hosting and rack space in return for acknowledgement (banner or similar) on the website (we think that's fair) the downsides will be (a) we are using unused rack space, so if he gets a paying customer, GCA gets 90 d...

df2, we finally made contact thanks to you forwarding our emails to him. he emailed us on 11 nov, we responded but never heard anything back. we'll PM you the emails.

sure!
