For those of you who've attempted to access BeyondUnreal or any of its hosted sites/services over the last two days, you've surely noticed that it has been offline. Let me jump straight to the bottom line - no crash, no data loss, and things should be fully functional in short order.
The long story involves a compromised password, resulting in a DOS attack stemming from our server and our (rightfully) being firewalled off by our gracious host, ServerCave. Well, we'd been intending to switch to a newer, better supported OS for some time now and we went ahead and took the time to make that move, leaving us with a fresh new install on a verifiably clean machine.
We've yet to move all of the hosted files and services back online, but that should be happening quite soon. As we promised last year, we've officially discontinued use of the long unsupported php4, so some hosted sites will experience difficulties in the transition. Ultimately, security took precedence over convenience there. If you've got more questions, you can check out Sir_Brizz's forum announcement or leave a comment.
We look forward to bringing you lots of good stuff this year. Thanks for being a part of BeyondUnreal!
