As far as I can determine, the outage is not due to an attack. Those can be handled.

This outage is somehow data-base or server related and I have rec'd no info from board owners and HOME2 registration was opened up a bit more today. So y'all may start seeing some new faces.

Per the usual, use caution as we know there will be some scammers trying to register some known member handles, but the HOME2 staff is matching established handles and email addresses to stymie those with malicious intent.
