Sim Outhouse is down due to switching over to a newer server. Im not sure on the details but looks like the website will be down for quite a while. Even working on the new site the owner claims that it has already been tried to be hacked numerous times. Please give your support! The following is quoted from the front page of Sim Outhouse:

Personal Comment:
I have read a few posts this morning on other websites, I would just like to say I am a little disappointed. Unless you have walked a mile in my shoes, you have not walked anywhere.
This job I do alone is very stressful, heck I have smoked a carton of cigarettes in just 2 days. I also have the stress of all of you on my shoulders as well as the glitches of this current job.
Being in charge of a big web server is very hard, there is knowledge required that isn't taught, nothing comes with instructions. The server lives 1500 miles away from me and my arms are stretched out. I cannot help if hardware goes out, I just have to create another plan and not give up. I can assure you I have all the data just getting it uploaded to the new server without errors is like going to the moon, not impossible because it has been done before. I cannot stop hackers from trying to break the law, heck the new server has already been attacked 3 times, once from England, once from Russia and once from Korea, My scripts caught them, here is their IP's 222.122.81.220 , 195.58.7.217 , & 83.138.134.208 . Write your country's law makers and tell them about it, don't bitch at me. I work for free and my feeling gets hurt when I spend so much of my life looking after your interests. The progress reports I give are to keep you informed and not to be used against me. If you think you can do a better job, STAND UP!
