TEMPORARY LOSS OF DNS

by Hazed

There was a temporary hiccup on Thursday which prevented some people from logging onto Fed for a while, and may also have stopped some mail getting through.

It seems that someone forgot to renew our domain name. Well, ok, by "someone" I mean me - but it wasn't my fault! You see, the company we buy the domain name from changed its name at some point, so the email address it used to send out the reminder was different from the one I was expecting. I had a filter set up for the old address so I wouldn't miss this oh-so-important email. But because it came from a completely different address, my fierce spam filters kicked in and dumped it into the spam folder.

We realized the problem after a few hours and I hastily renewed the domain. By now, everybody should be able to get back into Fed. However, it's possible that any mail you sent to feedback or to any of us individually on Thursday may have got lost because it couldn't be delivered, so if you are waiting for a reply, please send it again.

Of course, the amount of spam we received barely seemed to diminish. Sigh!

Sorry for the problems, folks!
