If you hadn't noticed the outage for the past 60+ hours, your level of addiction isn't nearly high enough yet!
There is an LTG page on Facebook that someone created which I've posted to regarding outages recently, https://www.facebook.com/groups/185174848273856/. Or Frono has created a Yahoo group with mailing list that he uses to relay info in the event the site goes down. http://letstalkguild.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=21220&hilit=yahoo+group
Basically, our hosting site said that LTG has been identified as having sent 105 spam emails that would seem to be some sort of bank phishing scam. According to their policies, the account automatically gets locked for 48 hours. I've been extremely unhappy with their level of service (or lack thereof in this case) as they didn't provide me with an example of the offending email, and locked me out of my control panel during the entire period so that I couldn't even log in to update any necessary security script. The support ticket generated for this outage also blocked me so I couldn't even access it on their own support page.
In short, LTG will be moving to a new server in the very near future, along with an upgrade to a vBulletin BB. Plenty of new bells & whistles included, so please be patient as you see things change. As I need to shut down this board at times during the upgrade, I'll include a status message on the main page so you know what's happening. Any main page message that isn't directly from me means that our host has done something again.
Thanks for hanging in there everyone!
