After a pause, receive the following message:
"This site can't be reached."  amigaworld.net took too long to respond.

Regards,

Maybe it's the long needed rebuild with modern secured database underway? Or the hackers finally blew it all to hell!!!  :-[

Yes you are! This happens fairly regularly without explanation and is just as likely caused by an oversight paying the site fees as it is a full scale North Korean cyber attack!  ::)

Or maybe it is simply just a server crash which is being resolved.

Well since it is now back up we'll take your word for it. I doubt many large websites would get away with having one and half days of downtime unless it was due to a major hack attack! Surely you just switch the server off and on again?  ;)
