What happened to Cointalk.com?

Anyone know why their website is no longer?

I'm getting a message about an unexpected database error occurred, which would make me think the website will be back and functional shortly, but that in the meantime they have to find out what made it crash (software update, platform change, etc...).

The server just needs to be rebooted and the owner, Peter, barely comes on the website as much as he did and he's the only one that can deal with such issues, the other admins are useless to deal with it.

I hope it returns this weekend, but with Peter, who knows? I could see it lasting weeks.

Last week or so. wasn't there something going on with the
web in general? Might be fall out from that. Several smaller
auction houses in Europe had issues connecting with PayPal.
Two of them had winners pay with other auction houses.

Thanks for the update (I asked this question on the Currency section & my post was closed with no explanation).

All his forums are still down. I'm on the Autiquers forum also and it's down too.

They had to replace their server.
