Hi Bill,

It's not just my link then .. 

I hope that idiot hacker hasn't appeared again.

It appears the server has been down for the last 3 hours or so.
LarryS appears to be out of pocket.  I've sent him an email; a message on yahoo messanger; and a voice message on his telephone.

LarryS contacted the Host provider and they said they have been having major problems all day.
So right now, we don't know if it is a hack at all let alone one directed at us.
and the sorry, egotistical, piece of slime that hacked us before (and yes I'm still waiting for the knock on my door) ain't that capable.

LarryS has informed me that the IW site is under hack attack yet again.  It appears that each time there is an attempt the site has to go through a long reset cycle.
 
The site will be back up in a while.

Well, it seems that the current hacker is spoofing both LarryS and my IP addresses in their attempts to get in.
That means that, for them to know both our IP addresses we would have both had to send them emails from our non-IW accounts or we would both would have to have visited a website that they had admin priviledges on or they had to have access to an old IW database where we are both members.
 
to me it sort of narrows down the possibilites.
