Dear users,
Today at approximately 15:10 GMT the server was subjected to a Denial of Service attack of unknown origin, HTTP, FTP, DNS and IRC services were restored within 50 minutes however we are continuing to have problems restarting our mail service. As a result notifications and signup confirmations are failing to be sent, all mail will be held in queue until these services are restored.
Rest assured our team are working restlessly to restore these downed systems.
Regards,
Tweak
Systems Administrator

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The Furry to Furry site has been having some kind of problems as well. If you or anyone you know belong to that site you may want to let them know that no new users can register with them as they just receive a message that "image could not be verified due to server issues." Unfortunately these perspective members cannot inform them of this as they also use the image verification on their Contact Us page and you just get the same message.
