Forgotten Futures Site Problem   
Forgottenfutures.com, which hosts most of my Victorian and Edwardian 
material and game-related files, has been down for the last couple of 
days, cause unknown but believed to be a server problem since hosting 
fees and domain registration are up to date. Annoyingly it's hanging 
rather than giving an error message. Many of the files accessed from 
forgottenfutures.co.uk are actually housed on forgottenfutures.com, so 
until this is fixed a lot of files are out of reach. I can only 
apologise profusely.

Looks like it's back on line. No explanation, which I find a little 
annoying.

OK, it looks like the explanation is that a spammer has somehow used my 
site to send emails, so many that the account was temporarily suspended. 
I have no idea how this happened, but hopefully the hosting company will 
be able to stop it.

I hope that nobody reading this has been affected, apologies if they 
have.
