Well, as you can see, Brain Damage is working again!

Our sincere apologies for the site being down for almost five days. There was a system issue which needed the top technical minds of our friends at 3B Web Design to resolve. Hopefully it will settle and behave itself now; we're seeing a LOT of hits on the site so looks like loads of people (and potentially search engines and suchlike) are catching up on stuff. This is causing a slight slowdown at the moment, but we think it is due to the volume of hits.

We never like having issues and really appreciate your patience at the odd times when things do go wrong. No site is immune to issues but is always frustrating for those who want to visit, as well as site owners. Let's hope there's no further problems with it...

UPDATE, Monday 15th September - the work undertaken to get this site working again was insufficient to deal with the huge number of hits we were experiencing. The additional verification step to weed out non-humans helped, but further work was needed, and this has now been done. Let's hope that does the trick and things remain stable on here. And it turns out we're not the only PF site to be suffering from this (which is bizarre but reassuring). Thank you for your patience while we investigated the issues!
