Anyone have a way to contact the Seven Seas Cruising Association other than the internet? Phone # ?  Address?

I am a moderator there.  I have contacted the Admin and they are working on the problem.

If I hear any more I will post it here.

Thanks Faith. It's been down quite a while. Must be a bad one.

Yes, it has been down since at least

That was when I checked here to make sure we were not having the problem also. 
I had checked it some time (maybe 15 minutes before) and it was fine.  The attack
affected the server, (not just posted links to malware) from what I took from the reply
to my email.  Can take some time to fix.

No longer blocked, but the server is still offline.

QuoteThe Seven Seas Cruising Association Web Site is currently down for maintenance.

Please try again later.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

No word on when it may be up.

Wow, if they can take down a outfit of that size our little niche is definitely at risk.  There is something to be said for being under the radar.

The last 2 days i was able to login and read the bulletins, however i could not get on the forum.--I thought the problem was my computer.
