Heh, I may as well post the reason here, not many people know.

Well, I was with a company called Duxaranea which was very very good when I first started with them. Unfortunately, they received too many customer registrations and there was all sorts of problems and the service went down hill as fast as a 1kg flash maroon going off in your hand would ruin your day. For a period, it then went down. During this period, they were actually switching to another owner, Duxaranea had been sold off (which they neglected to inform their customers) to another person...who didn?t even speak English as his primary language, I think he was Ukrainian.

However, during the move, all of the information was lost so they had to resort to a backup. Unfortunately (there's that word again), Duxaranea hadn?t been making the regular, daily backups that they were meant to and this is why they had to use an old one and the whole site resorted to an older version. A few weeks after that, the whole lot disappeared. I don?t know where it went or what happened, the DNS is no longer up and running so I cant e-mail them and I just can?t find them.

Thankfully, I backed up the whole database a few days before the first crash so I have most of the info on computer. My old site is with another host, which I changed from because the deal they were offering was..., well...s**te (excuse the French). It wont be up for much longer, i bought it about this time last year.

PyroSpFx I was going to look at your site but it asked me to install an application before I could view it. You will get lots more people using the site if you removed that cause I wouldnt be willing to do it for one.
