I wonder what caused the outage of the site and that caused maintenance. Its good to be back online, as this is the a massive golden database of knowledge of all things RC flying related.   

Yes, indeed good to be back. It was a serious attack.

Here's the whole story:

[08/07, 7:34 pm] K K Iyer: 100s OF SPAM POSTS TODAY. BIG ATTACK!
[08/07, 7:35 pm] Anwar P P RCI: Hi. Will check. Traveling
[08/07, 7:44 pm] K K Iyer: New posts coming faster than I can ban and delete
[08/07, 7:58 pm] K K Iyer: URGENT I think you will have to shut down the site for some time.
[08/07, 7:58 pm] Anwar P P RCI: I am working on it
[08/07, 8:04 pm] Anwar P P RCI: New member registration is disabled
[08/07, 8:08 pm] K K Iyer: Great. Can you ban all new registrations & delete all posts of today? Over 200 posts, so not easy for me to ban/ delete posts manually.
[08/07, 9:23 pm] Anwar P P RCI: Yes
[08/07, 9:24 pm] Anwar P P RCI: Working on it, all users deleted but posts did not get deleted
[08/07, 9:24 pm] Anwar P P RCI: Need to figure out how to delete posts by anonymous
[08/07, 9:27 pm] K K Iyer: If necessary I'll spend some time tomorrow and delete them manually
[08/07, 9:45 pm] Anwar P P RCI: No need
[08/07, 10:15 pm] Anwar P P RCI: I will figure it out
[08/07, 10:16 pm] Anwar P P RCI: Thank you
[08/07, 10:18 pm] K K Iyer: When you get time, please also enable jpeg upload.
Regards.
[10/07, 4:40 pm] Anwar P P RCI: Looks like the spam posts are gone
[10/07, 5:14 pm] K K Iyer: Wow, YES!
Great. They were still there one hour ago, and i had deleted a few manually to test. So you found a way to delete en masse!

Wow! That was some attack!

Thank you Iyer Sir, and Anwar Sir, for working so hard to keep this forum alive and active.
