Works fine for me. Must just be your PC! haha j/k.

Maui made a post on here a week or so back saying it is having some problems and should be running again soon. I'm going to go crazy soon if that website doesn't come back!

I just found this post on FreestyleMTX MCM2 forum by MauiCool.

"Tech support told me that someone, through a security hole, used my "PHP-Nuke site" to send out about 20,000 spam emails. Spamming breaks the server rules so they shut down the site. They're working with me on this so it doesn't happen again.

I've had to install a newer version of PHP-Nuke (7.6) but it's gonna take a while before I get it all straightened out. I need to re-install the database backups, which are now up to about 15mgs, but all WILL be back up like it was before or I'll get it as close as I can - as soon as I can.

I'll pretty busy right now trying to catch up after being offline for a couple months, so hang in there. The site only costs $60 per year so as long as people need it, it will be there for them.

aloha, MC"
