ddos - and down we went. For good?

Update June 30
They have succeeded.
spam-court.com is most likely gone. As a domain. Parts of the content will still be around. Somewhere.
I personally never thought the criminals, the spammers, the wannabees [insert your favorite here] at bulkerforum.biz would get that scared.

In hindsight, hosting spam-court on a shared hosting plan was not a good idea.
If we had known they would resort to ddos-ing the site, that is.
Our host (dreamhost.com) has been patient with us. Even leaving a small opening for reinstating the site. We may try that.
But someone (or several) on bulkerforum.biz is/are probably so scared because of the content that it will most likely be ddosed to death again. So in the long run we think it will not be possible to host the site on a shared server. We are not willing to spend the money on a dedicated server.

The solution will be to put the content up "here and there". Mainly using blogger.
Others have asked for permission to publish the content from spam-court.com. We have agreed. In general, we don't mind if that is being done. Just give us a note at veruccawatcher@gmail.com first.
Some of it is already up at http://spam-court.blogspot.com. (And no, nobody from spam-court.com are responsible for that one).

We are a bit lazy, but during the next months more content from spam-court.com will show up elsewhere. Together with fresh content. Probably some fresh content first, we don't quite know yet.

As said earlier, someone from bulkerforum.biz must be very afraid.
Not only pissed off, we don't think they would have ddosed the site three times because of that. Good oldfashioned fear is probably the reason. We can smell it. Not only from the shitty pants of Marion Lynn.

We will not say "Stay tuned". Expect infrequent updates here.
