Site Status

I am aware that the site is most unresponsive. There are possibly lots of errors too.
The reason for this is that one or more evil people have taken exception to Thanet Star's severs and have launched a distributed Denial of Service Attack Against it. The attack started yesterday and may continue for some time.
Not to cast doubt where it might not belong but there are a fairly limited number of people in Thanet with the skills and desire to pull this off. I hope for all our sakes that this is an arbitrary attack and not a targeted one.
I'll post again only after all this technical silliness is done with. A more geek centric report can be found on this blog for those that want to keep up to date with the details.
