12:00PM PST Wednesday UPDATE
The website server experienced a hiccup of some sort yesterday. I discovered the message board not responding late last night. I worked through the night with the server host to try to figure out the problem. Had to finally give up at 4 AM to get some sleep. At this point I'm still not sure if it was a hardware, software or virus that took the site down. At one point I got indications that a the server had been infected with a nasty malware rootkit. To protect those visiting the website, I shut down web access to the entire site.

After many virus scans, and consultation with the host company, I'm confident the site is back up and operational, virus / malware free. Still not sure if that was the issue though.

Please report any strange activity via email.

This is also a good time to remind everyone that not only should you have a robust and constantly updated Anti-Virus program on your computer... you should also be running a robust and constantly updated Anti-Malware program. Malware is much more prevelant these days than viruses. I run a program here called Malwarebytes that I'm very pleased with.

Sorry for the disruption. Hopefully you didn't go through too many withdrawl symptoms.
