This blog started behaving disturbingly after TW’s last post. All posts just vanished. A few minutes later the content reappeared but the Atheist blogroll had become a featureless void.<\/p>\n

A quick link to the almighty Mojoey’s site <\/a>showed that the blogroll was even missing from its own home.<\/p>\n

Pinging the blog roll brought this response:<\/p>\n

While trying to retrieve the URL: http:\/\/www.*************ping.phtml <\/p>\n

Obviously, an outsider can’t tell whether this is just a server that can’t cope with the huge numbers of enthusiastically blogging atheists (:-D one can always hope) or whether it’s a DOS attack. <\/p>\n

The lack certainly brings home what a public service it is. I do hope it’s sorted out soon.<\/p>\n
