Currently we have problems with our server, so the shop, forum and site don't work. Mail is working so if you have some questions just email us - info@microartstudio.com When something changes we'll inform you immediately. We apologize for any inconvenience.


so I would guess it is something to do with that perhaps ?

I can attest to microartstudios.com being compromised. Google, FireFox, and Norton all tried to stop me from going there, and when I finally got through, it was a mess.

This isn't really a concerted effort, right?

Thanks Red S8n - glad to know they are aware of the problem and hopefully, will be back soon.

I find it worrysome that the community seems to be under attack so much. I would imagine that someone stumbled across our little niche of a community and realized that we have an awful lot of small-biz and DIY websites with high, interlinked traffic which are vulnerable to concentrated attack.

Hopefully D2 is well protected.

Someone needs to guard Legoburner surely?!

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."
