This site is offline for maintenance, but is coming back when complete.
We are currently under the hood rewiring the control panel and tuning up the cabinet. Everything will be back online shortly.
What happened?
Multiple security vulnerabilities hit the Internet all at the same time, including some of the technology that runs this website. Out of an abundance of caution and paranoia, saint immediately took all hosted sites offline. Simultaneously, some real life things hit saint all at the same time, making working on the server a back-burner project. Sirwoogie came to our rescue again and will be upgrading and securing the server. However, we quickly realized this incarnation of the server has been in place since 2018 and there were a lot of cobwebs and the hardware is old. So we're taking this opportunity to stand up a new system, we think. Work in progress. The new system will have faster hardware, more RAM = more server speed and responsiveness, and we'll be putting in measures to protect against the HUGE influx of bots and bad actor attempts that were overloading the server causing the timeouts you probably experienced.
Important to know
I will never take this site down permanently without significant advance notice so that people can scrape and download anything they want to preserve. The more likely scenario if I ever stop hosting the site is that I will find someone to take custody of it who will not turn it into commercial slop. I consider hosting this site my piece of giving back to the Internet community at large, and I'm just the custodian of the work everyone else has done to produce the content here. I've even got provisions in my planning should something happen to me. BYOAC isn't going anywhere. Your patience as we upgrade is appreciated, we'll be back.
