I wonder if it was attacked by the "FuntKlakow" spambot that's targeting php forums?

this server is deprecated

From Wikipedia ...

In computer software standards and documentation, deprecation is the gradual phasing-out of a software or programming language feature.

A feature or method marked as deprecated is one which is considered obsolete, and whose use is discouraged. The feature still works in the current version of the software, although it may raise error messages as warnings. These serve to alert the user to the fact that the feature may be removed in future releases.

Features get marked as deprecated, rather than simply removed, in order to provide backward compatibility for software users. When other programs depend on the deprecated feature, programmers need time to change their code to avoid the feature.

VAPS UPGRADE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VAPS IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A REDESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE. FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS WE HAVE HAD TO PREVENT UPDATES TO OUR DATABASE DURING THIS PROCESS.
UNFORTUNATELY YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT TODAY. THE REST OF THE SITE'S FUNCTIONALITY REMAINS ON-LINE.

PLEASE VISIT US AGAIN IN MID-MARCH. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE

Because of the mid march comment, I think this was up for a while, but it is probably still the reason of why it went down the other day...
