As I mentioned we have been hit with an insane bad luck streak. To recap the following has happened in the last 6 days -

* Our DNS provider (what translates www.E46Fanatics.com to our server IPs) was DOS attacked. So our hosting and hardware was up but the service that connects the web-browser to our hosting company/hardware was down

* Our hosting company had a fiber cut on a major connection. This should have been taken care of by the redundant fiber connections, but for reasons not yet known the redundant lines also failed.

* Our database corrupted several tables for reasons yet unknown.

Those are the three of the most freak occurrences I can think of and they all happened in a week
