Ciderspace Downtime Latest (Sunday Morning)

For those who stumble upon this site, it's not an attempt to replace the actual Ciderspace Website which remains in a state of ill-health. In fact this blog will probably disappear once we are confident the site is back up again. However, whilst it stays down, we're aware that some of the news/match related stuff becomes dated fairly quickly, and so this is an opportunity to read the text of that stuff. When the site returns, we'll merge this back into the actual Ciderspace site along with all the other usual stuff. Obviously things like the Statistics pages and Man of the Match voting form will stay inaccessible for the moment.

As for the site itself, apologies that it continues to be unavailable. Our ISP has offered us numerous false dawns and missed deadlines, supposed fixes, occasional reappearances of the site, followed by further downtime. You get to the point where you wonder if it's really worth the stress and hassle of trying to deal with it. Naturally we'll review where things stand when the site comes back up, but as we're locked out of our own site entirely (the username/password request you get on any site page affects us as well) there's not much we can do at present. Our ISP have now stopped giving us an ETA for any fixes now and it's not even certain if their latest fix will work. In the meantime, this blog will stay open, and the more major articles will be published here. Thanks for your patience; we lost ours on the 99th support call a long time ago.
