I was on a 350 mile round drive to Bristol to pick up some bicycle wheels, so I missed all the shenanigans.

It worked when I left, and it was working again when I returned.

Caused by a malfunctioning Amazon bot sucking up bandwidth whilst nosing around, apparently.

Aliengravy (the forum's creator on phpBB,) blocked the bot, and that's cured the issue.

From the c90club forum:-

It did it last month, so I increased the bandwidth, and again this month.

I have blocked the bot, so hopefully it won't happen again.

Thanks to all those who let the red team know!!

Thanks all. Very glad that normal service is resumed - its a great forum.

The X9OC site was down, too - at least, it was there but in a very basic form.

James`s fix did not work so he has tried another route.
The forum is ok now but was off earlier this morning, Ged and myself are global moderators over there.
