Hello Folks,
First of all, please accept my apologies in regards to recent connectivity problems with DefenceTalk.com and other sites (SDF, etc.).
Due to load (assumption) early Friday morning we ran into certain OS/Software problems with the server which meant the server had to be rebuilt. After fixing software issues we started experiencing hardware problems with the server and it had to be replaced.
The reason we were down for so long is the amount of data. It had to be moved somewhere safe for the server to be rebuilt. The backup and restore took most of the time but everything has been restored and sites should be running normally now.
Since March 2003, this was the first major time that defencetalk.com was down for more than 3 days... sorry about that.
Thanks for understanding and enjoy!
