I got back from holiday yesterday to find that ciphermysteries.com’s hosting account had silently been suspended. Aargh! webhostingpad claimed that there had been a “load spike” for the home page… but… here are the stats for the site:-
Having been well and truly Slashdotted before, I can say that that ain’t no spike. So, I’m very sorry for the brief interruption to service, but hopefully all is well now!
Glad to see you back, Nick!
Will it soon be the time to reveal the #1 cipher mystery? 🙂
Harry: have no fear, it’s a really good one, it’ll be well worth the wait… 😉
“#1 cipher to be announced soon……” has been up there over a year – surely it’s just some kind of marketing ploy….
Tony: nope, it’s just such a big story that nobody will want to hear half, they’ll want to hear it all.. 🙂
Nick – skip the story – just give us a page of the cipher
Tony: the ciphers are already all over the web but nobody recognizes them as ciphers. That’s why it’s such an interesting story, one that I want to get right. 🙂
