I kept getting error messages the last couple of days. Which included the word "Forbidden" in big black unfriendly letters.

I damn near shat myself inside-out with terror.

Have been having the same feeling too ( and waiting for IT here at work to come and arrest me ) then I remembered it happened before and it was because Merk had forgot to put 50p in the meter. Or something. I am not very technical.
It was a shame too seeing as this is easily the best site to while away a happy afternoon when I should be working.

We are all terrorists out for arrest for daring to disagree with the authority figure that is the Daily Heil.

The site moved to a new server I think. The forbidden / error 500 errors are just stock server messages for "sommat went wrong in trying to bring you this page"

I'm so pleased that it wasn't me being found out at work and having the site blocked. My arse has been twitching like a bunny's nose.

Thank God for that, thought the Mail SS had got us caught!

I thought it was only me when I saw that ruddy 'Forbidden' message. 'Why is BT stopping me from seeing my favourite site?' I thought to myself as I sat bored in front of my PC. Thank Bono that the situation is now at an end.

Yep, sounds very much like there was some server problem.

When my site had a similar error, it was because I accidentally set the entire site to be hidden. But I'm sure Merk wouldn't do that.

I thought Mr. Merk said he was moving the server a few days ago...

hello,

I moved the database over to the new server so i needed to take the site down so as not to mess things up. Only problem being, I got called away to do some real work and forgot to put the site back up - it was only supposed to be down an hour!

opps. sorry.
