[UA] Answer Hazy, Ask Again Later

[John Tynes]

www.unknown-armies.com is down again. This time it's because the  
hosting company says the scripts that run the site were hammering  
their servers with too many requests. I am guessing this was caused  
by spam bots trying to flood the comments and forums with spam, but  
it's just a guess.

They've turned off CGI for the site, which means it's not working at  
all. I've filed a support request harassing them about it.

At the same time, I went to back up the database containing all the  
content and found that it was empty. I've filed a separate support  
request asking where the hell the data is. I don't have any recent  
backups, as the site pretty much runs itself and the software that  
operates it is no longer supported by the company I bought it from  
lo, these many years ago. The hosting company is supposed to back up  
that stuff regularly so we'll see what they say.

More news as it happens.
