Sorry guys. Another server has bitten the dust, this time muppet. This means that mail/members space is dead until we can get the new servers. Not a good month for our hardware =)

We're just about to spend around five thousand EUR on some new kit. We'll need some more after that.

Has anyone got some suggestions for some temp alternatives to the free webspace.. I tried Eircom but it throws up some stupid message that I must be in the UK. Ad Free would obviously be a bonus
