First, I'm sorry for shutting down the site so quickly, but when folks where being re-directed to the sites mentioned, I couldn't let it continue until it was cleaned up.
Secondly, I am sorry for not communicating with you all via a mass email to let you know where things where going, but the site, while down, could only be viewed by one ip address and that was the person who was fixing it, so I was at a loss to forward any messages.
I found a great local IT guy who was able to clean things up and we are now back. It took a while to find the right guy. For a while it looked as if there was no fix, but thankfully the right guy came along and all seems to be going well.
I think the main problem was me not doing updates, which I didn't know how to do and was scared to make a mistake trying. The site will now be monitored by an on call IT guy, and we should be safe from any problems. His rates are affordable and maybe a small fund drive will help cover that and the hosting fees coming up in February.
Welcome Back,
Robin
