Dear Dynamic Users-

The dynamic servers were faced with a malicious attack and had to be shut down. All passwords for the sites ran on these servers have been compromised along with user information on forums, and other login services you may have been running.

We are in the process of fixing the damage and the security flaw that was exploited. As we repair the servers, we will be bringing them back online one by one. Our estimated time of getting all the servers back online is by or before Monday if all goes smoothly. Once a server is ready to come back online, we will be providing you information on how to restore your account.

As a result of the attack, all your passwords and the passwords of your readers should be considered compromised and you should change any passwords on other servers that were similar to those on your dynamic and MySQL accounts. Also the configurations of the servers will be somewhat altered, and may cause the need for some applications to be reconfigured.

In the very near future I will be contacting the members in groups by server about the next steps that we will be taking and need you to take and information we may need from you to assist us in bringing your site back online.

We understand that all this can be frustrating to you and your site fans, and we appreciate the support and patience you have shown our support and technical staff as we have worked to locate and fix all the problems we have come across.

For all other questions or assistance with passwords on servers other than the dynamic servers, please email

Thank you,

Bloody hell - I finally get my new PC up and running, go to HLP to get all the files I need, and the bloody thing's down!! :x That's a bit of a pain in the arse. ETA still Monday?

Notice to project peeps (158th, TVWP, MG and SA): I'm all set to work on these things again now, so I can start on whatever's needed as soon as HLP's back up. :)
Any fool can pull a trigger...

As the madmen play on words
And make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions
To make a better kind of gun...
