and hackers!
I dont understand why someone would want to destroy an simulation forum website. Its not like it was politically motivated or racist or similar. What a shame.....hopefully they get back up from this blow.

Avsim has now been destroyed!
Today, AVSIM was destroyed by a hacker. Both of our primary servers were hacked and the partition tables destroyed, and that will be very difficult to overcome. I won’t speculate on who did it, but we will have a forensic done on our disks and scrutinize the logs to validate our suspicions.
I would appreciate if you could post the following as a news item or announcement on your websites or forums. Nels and Francois, I know we have been competitors, but I would very much appreciate you posting this on your web sites, if you could.
PRESS RELEASE: AVSIM Hacked!!
Tom Allensworth, CEO and Publisher of AVSIM, today issued the following announcement; “We regret to inform the flight simulation community that on Tuesday, May 12, AVSIM was hacked and effectively destroyed. The method of the hack makes recovery difficult, if not impossible, to recover from. Both servers, that is the library / email and web site / forum servers were attacked. AVSIM is totally offline at this time and we expect to be so for some time to come. We are not able to predict when we will be back online, if we can come back at all. We will post more news as we are able to in the coming days and weeks."
Best Regards,
Tom Allensworth

Library Update
As maybe I am not the only one who worries about this ingenious source, I like to give you an update.
"Library Temporarily Offline
Posted: Tuesday, May 5, 2009 - 22:41
After weeks of struggling with a variety of issues with the File Library system, we have today taken the library offline for overhaul and redistribution to another server. We do not know how long this down time will be. We appreciate your patience while we fix known issues and bring the library back up to full performance. This also means that the daily file update email sent to thousands of readers will not be sent until the system is brought back online. Thank you for your patience and understanding. "
And I wanna say something to the people who keep the library running. I wish you a lot of power to stand this work. Go on, break all the problems, we need you.

Both work fine for me, although IE is significantly slower with it.
