Please note the site is currently being targeted with a DDoS attack.

We hope to have it back to normal soon.

If you need any help just shout, we are having a quiet day in the office today so should be able to provide some tech help

Thanks chap, looks like the rent-a-DDoS is over (for now).

It didn't last too long, as you can see.

Crikey. Is this to do with the super attack as reported here? Or is someone specifically targeting CTA?

It is more than likely someone targeting the site directly.

My day job sometimes annoys people (and by that I mean pirates and spammers) and I have been threatened with physical violence and warnings that the site would be hacked.

Oh I see. Well, hopefully it'll stay stopped now.

Your day job ?? Hmmmmm always thought you had to have another way to fund the Butler. Should have guessed when your original CTA log in name was 006 1/2.
