Same thing as last time.  Targhan wrote " Bah. Persistant buggers. They're back, and this time in full force. MorphZone's server is in for a severe upgrade from the ground up. Unfortunately, we may be down for another few days.

I do apologize to all MorphZone and PPCZone users for this."

Or maybe somebody didn`t pay their BILLs, hmmm, sounds like something else I read.

In short, their server was hacked into via a previously unknown vulnerability.  It has nothing to do with Red/Blue or even MorphZone.  Someone simply found and exploited a server hole brought about by the fact that their server software hadn't been updated by the server provider for a couple of years.

As soon as they get their server rebuilt, they'll be back.

Ha ha. ok. {bleep} happens...

It's not really funny.  Amiga.org has gone through similar things in the past and it's a very difficult thing to deal with.  I've given Dave an offer of support but he's rather busy on his side of getting things back in order.
