Simple Glitch - or Suicide Cyber Sapper Attack from Esmay?

As many of you noted - Castle Argghhh! was off the air last night. While (and we still love ya, guys) Hosting Matters says it was a glitch - I say "Glitch, your name is Esmay!"

Here's what Hosting Matters had to say:

That's very odd, since we don't have things set to suspend accounts when they reach their bandwidth limits. Let me dive in and see what cPanel has hosed here, and we'll get you back on track.

Hmmmm. Could be disinformation, to cover the retreat of the assailant!

Then came this.

No idea what was going through the system's tiny brain, but I cleared the lock. Bug filed with the cPanel folks asking them why a site was suspended for bw exceedance when that trigger is disabled. Please drop us a note if you find it falling into temporary insanity again.

Sounds like Esmayites know how to enable that trigger! He's so desperate because his hoser alliance is so far back - that he caused me to spend money that could otherwise have gone to donations. Or at least tequila!

Argghhh! Sic' em, Fusileers! I think I shall send, Da Goddess to do 'em in!

I shall release upon them the Mighty Rabbit, and should the Mighty Rabbit fail to engage them all appropriately, I shall set upon them with the Holy Handgrenade of Antioch, for that is one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of the Brave and Holy Knights (and Knightesses - presuming, of course, that Knightesses is an acceptable term to all.)

In the meantime, I shall continue my attempts to lure and persuade others to join in our crusade....especially those who have foolishly pledged allegiance with thine enemies.
