They have come back early in the morning (4:00 UTC or 6 localtime) probably much earlier. It is not Bluehosts fault after all, I guess. Choosing a virtual host for a site that was known to slashdot during the elections was not a bright idea. I don't think we warned Bluehost in advance about the elections. It rarely happens that the boys running a party and the boys who are running the computers are the same. But when it happens - be prepared for the worst :) Kind regards and a big THANKYOU to everybody. Sorry, sent this to the wrong address first. Peter

I know, it was no good idea in the first place to host a site about the german elections overseas. Living overseas it is difficult to say what is a slashdot and what a script :)
