Right, we are open for business once again! Apologies for the huge delay, here's the story:

• Our hosts Oktagone apparently didn't pay their bills and so the whole network was shutdown a couple of weeks ago. I found out about this through a forum post at Webhostingtalk after being sent an e-mail from Oktagone telling me that there "had been a power cut." If it hadn't been for this forum post, I wouldn't have found out that I could still get into my site via an alternate IP address and download a backup (which I usually do every 2 months and was due to do when this happened).
• After several days of joining in the screaming on said forums, there was at last some action: an e-mail was to be sent out offering us new hosting options, asking if we wanted to stay with Oktagone, or Ezzi (the company that owns and maintains their servers) or move to another host. I chose to stay with the current hosts until this site was back up and running, and would then consider moving (also due to the fact that the new packages wouldn't be as good as they used to be).
• A few days later nothing was heard, and so some IRC camping was required. It was discovered that Oktagone were building their own datacenter, and our websites would be worked on after they finished putting in the carpet and building their own website. E-mails were sent to their support centre and people were bugged on IRC.
• Wednesday morning, I got an e-mail saying my account was ready to be set up, and it took until Saturday morning until it was all configured correctly.
• And finally, although the DNS has been propagating for the last 24 hours some crazy PHP bug reared up its ugly head, which basically logged you in as other people, which I have now fixed.

So as you can see, I've been having loads of fun these last few days, and I hope you have all spent the time off to work and map! I apologise if the site seems a bit slow- it is now hosted in Australia. Also if you had a pit that needs putting back up, let me know. Thanks!

Update: Big thanks to everyone who's sent me a PM about finding a new host, we've found one and should hopefully be moving in the next few days.
