Hi some of you my have notice that just4riders was not available today. I have been monitoring the Freeforums support forum (which was unafected) Obviously if your reading this the site is back up again. Here is the official explaination from Freeforums.org:

However the chat in the various topics suggests that the freeforum.org servers were attacked by a disgruntled forum owner. He was banned and his forum removed, because he was hosting some xxx adult material (manga style). His forum was deleted and he lost some of his material and inorder to get back at freeforums.org he spammed the server with repeated messages which overloaded the message limit and in effect resulted in a denial of service attack. This has now been resolved and normal service has been restiored.

Thought that those of you who could not get on the site today might like to know why.

Les.
