Oz Hoops down?

Does anyone know why Oz Hoops is down? Seemed to be working fine last night.

Derek probably pulled it down in a fit of frustration.

LV's logic caused some sort of vortex which sucked the entire site into a black hole.

Last heard screaming "I Want Dave Thomas' babies" on the way out of existence.

With posters like DDFan and Hound Dog I'm not surprised :P

Derek should find a new host - those guys seem to have been messing him over a bit for a while. Better bandwidth overseas - 200GB/mo at Crystaltech would keep OzHo going.

About $150 for 2 years at Brinkster with 2000GB web traffic per month. Brinkster is the best!

Meg, world's second-greatest shave after Derek's upcoming trim!

To recap - for anyone wondering as to the status of OzHoops, visit http://www.ozhoops.com.au/. Site owner Derek is working against a possible DoS to get the site back up. For now, commenting on the Boards appears to be temporarily disabled.

That's pretty awful. Why would you bother?

Although there are people who don't get on over at Ozhoops, the common goal is basketball, and I find it very hard to believe that any user would sabotage the site just before the grand final series.
Lets face it, I don't think many would be confident to rely on nbl.com to work perfectly for one game, let alone a series.

Banned posters? Maybe, although the one notorious poster (or his dumber sidekick) I'm thinking of quite frankly wouldn't have the brains to pull it off.

Nah. Anyone who thinks 'gayhoops' is a clever nickname for the site couldn't pull this off.
Lol, 'gayhoops'. Ouch!

OzHoops has been down for a couple of weeks at least.
