Following a worried night, our hosts appear to have restored things now as you can see.

Once again, thanks to everyone who wrote (with varying degrees of concern and/or sarcasm) to let us know about the problem.

The sarcasm is justified. We have been pretty slow recently. There are good reasons, really, please be patient! No-one works full-time on the site, and there's stuff going on in the real world which is slowing things down. But it will pass and Arseweb is here to stay.
