Just me or has the whole BBS been down this morning?

Just me or has the whole BBS been down this morning? Emailed several friends and they could not access it either.

The parts section worked fine but not the bulletin board.

Interesting... most of the time maintenance is done at night or weekends.

Was more worried that it was another DOS attack...

I suspect it was a DOS attack. Looking at the time-stamps when the forums came back on, they had been down for 12 hours. A 12-hour "scheduled maintenance" that lasted from 12:30 a.m. to after 12:00 noon? If anyone believes that, I have some lakefront property for sale in Oklahoma...
