    Hey any of you guys know if RHDN has changed domain names or has been moved to a new IP address?

    I can't access their site since yesterday & a few google researching led me to one of the guys who uploads ROM hacks to RHDN, namely NightCrawler's web forum & on one post there it says that RHDN has been down for several days now after the site's servers assploded on itself, causing RHDN to lose a vast amount of data from their data base, which may or may not be recoverable if at all.

    Those of you who are also on the loop behind the ROM Hack scene, any news you can enlighten us with? ???

    By took out, you mean someone cut off their acess to the server or took out as in they planted a bomb beside it & it went boom?

    Anyway that qoute 1prinnydood posted now shows when you try to go to RHDN's site as proof that the site is indeed up for maintenance & data recovery. :)

    EDIT:

    Erm nevermind I just read the article they linked on that temporary maintenance notice.

    Final edit:

    They're up & running again, but ouch! they've lost a few translation & hack patches & some awesome tools as well ouch!
