We regret to announce...
It is with great sadness that I announce the total loss of services to mad-den UK. Back-ups do exist and we will rebuild. It seems that the host have suffered a total loss of ability to resolve domain names and while the underlying IP can be pingged the site does not work and you can not sign up for anything.
Maybe they suffered a DDOS attack, who knows - the result is that mad-den traffic is down as is hot surf, mad-den FAQ, listings, banner exchange and other Mad-Den UK srvices. The databases used on Mad-Den UK will have to be rebuilt and this may take several months if Globedomain are unable to respond to simple emails.
Please comment here if you have any news about the company at all. ¶ 2:03 PM
UPDATE: Services resumed after 24 to 48 hours... server was "hacked".
UPDATE: Mad-Den Traffic and Mad-Den Index were uneffected.
