I apologize for this, Mozzie.
One of the MySQL servers was overloaded and had to address it.
If you'd like, you can bookmark the service status page for future reference:

I notice the site is still really slow loading for me..
Summer seems to officially be here. If it wasn't so humid, eggs would probably fry in the shell while still in the chicken's coop!
The site took over 15 seconds to load this morning, I've done my browser clear, disc clean and a defrag too, just rebooted the modem 10 minutes ago so wondering if it's all the coding slowing things down here or is it us kiwis are so far away?.. :S
The Mysql server has an ongoing issue at the moment and I am working on it.
No doubt with your expertise you'll be on top of it in no time..
It was addressed within the hour
Things are still slow loading and responding for me.. :S
I meant to ask what a VPN is in simple terms too..
Here is a video explaining what VPN is:

Basically, you connect through a VPN to visit websites. It's secure and private. You will arrive at the site you are visiting with a completely different IP address.
So it's similar to using a proxy server?
