Digitalpoint Down?

One of my favourite Webmaster related forums, Digitalpoint Forums seems to be down for more than a couple of hours now. The initial error message stated that there was a database error, but currently I'm getting a 500 server error.

Since I spend most of my time there I've been trying to figure out what to do to keep occuppied. Guess I can finally get to work on some new content for my sites, until I can get my "digitalpoint fix" again.

I hope Shawn sorts out the problem soon.

Update:
To the great relief of Webmasters all around the globe Digitalpoint is back up again! It seems as if the problem was caused due to a denial of service attack on the DNS servers. At least that's the currenty theory.

Thanks to Shawn for working so hard in order to fix the problem and allowing us junkies to get our fix!
