Back

spamnation.info is back up again.

It's running a little slowly (probably because our new-found friends haven't forgotten us, and are still eagerly trying to get in) and I still need to sweep up some of the broken glass and scatter sawdust around. However, it's there.

It's possible that it won't stay up. It's very hard to defend against a determined denial-of-service attack, and if the attackers really want it down, they may step up their efforts to the point where our defences are overwhelmed. If that happens, it happens. Let me just say that I think they will find that it isn't in their interests to do that.

The fact that the site is back at all is thanks to the generosity of a number of people who came forward to help out. I won't name them here, but they know who they are and they know how much they did to make this possible.

So, a big thank-you to them, and a big thank-you to all of you who came to this blog and wrote messages of support. Let us know what we can do to make the site better, and remember to tell your friends and family the golden rule: Don't buy from spammers.

Congratulations on getting the site back up. Worldwidespam.info was back up for a while but is now down again. Hope to follow you back online soon.
