Well, it seems that it never rains but it fucking bastard pours.
The server shut down coz I hadn't paid my bills - naughty bubba!
Basically I don't have much spare money at all these days so soon I will be putting up a paypal donation link in the hope that anyone who wants to keep ukb running and ad-free will feel that they get enough out of this forum to help me out a little. I've funded ukb and ukc(aving.com) out of my own pocket for quite a number of years now, but now need to make them pay for themselves a little - ads suck so donations must be the way to go.
Anyway, moan over....sorry about the downtime and hopefully it won't all happen when I'm away on holiday next time!
