Mike and Gizmo:

There are a bunch of us sitting here in the dark, wondering what is going on with our servers. We cannot contact our hosting service since their site is ALSO down.

We all run UBB Threads software on our sites, so it would seem like this is the logical place to compare notes on the problem, since there is no other place to connect. I do hope that continuing this conversation in this single thread does not inconvenience the rest of the good people here.

It's not like we are spamming the entire community. Can you just ignore this one thread?

...and for that matter, I think iWeb is a pretty big hosting service, and somehow their entire DNS system was corrupted by some event. I have a hunch it is the hacker who has been causing Mindraven trouble these past several months. Who can say the hackers won't target THIS or somebody else's server in the near future. I would think some site admins might be interested in the events and experiences of the few of us here.
