DDOS Attacks

  The last couple of days one of the forums that I frequent and a few other sites I use have been offline because of this... and it's still ongoing.....   :mad:

Possibly related DDoS attacks cause DNS hosting outages

domain name management and DNS hosting services.

  LOL.  I get to typing so fast that sometimes a letter won't catch.  I'm still breaking in this new ergo-keyboard of mine.  I'll see if it will let me add a D.....   :-[

EDIT:  Yay, it worked!   :P
