What happened this time?
UPDATE: It's my birthday today!!! So i havnt had any time at all until now to get hbh backup. Very sorry for how long its taken, but a very busy weekend obvioulsy. Might of been down due to someones crazy cURL script gone wrong! Either way firewalls are dealing with it and all will be back to normal soon.
Very bizaree problem this time, new one to hbh. Appanretly the site had/has session problems?
Basically the server was holding too many sessions and thus lagging, and other customers were complaining, so hbh got suspended and moved to a server with fewer customers.
So i'm quickly editing a few things to hopefully sort out this session problem and then all will be fine.
I'll also get system_meltdown to release 2 challenges for you, as an apology for downtime.
Best Regards

Also, we plan to increase the speed in which you can browse HellBoundHackers by shortlisting all articles so space is not wasted and the forums will be cleaned out.
Articles non-related to computers/hacking/cracking or manipulating data of any kind will be reviewed intensely. If it is not relevant (Such as a Photoshop Tutorial) then it will be deleted.
There will be other changes which aren't as direct as those, but will make the running of this site far more efficient.
Sorry for the downtime, we hope we can improve on it.

Spoken to Reaper, claims he is using a cURL script that 'times our the SQL'. So be that true, where is the 'conspiracy' in being DoS'ed by cURL? And again, he may be lying.

well he's an idiot as we all know, attempting to gain an extra -5% of fame, be claining downtime is due to him….. false. i have been communicating with my hosts and the reason for downtime is due to slight hbh security modification. basically as most developers know, you trade useability for security. the trick is getting the balance. in the real world you cant ideally have both, so i've got to find a suitable level between useability and security, which i will do over the weekend. so now you all know the truth, and people who talk to me over msn will be able to verify this.
