Hello,

Apologies if I've missed something obvious here, but when I go to teamstats.macnn.com, it appears to be pointing to chrisc16.dyndns.org (aka torak.net)

Either my DNS has gone screwy, or maybe the dyndns for teamstats needs updating?

Sorry, I know it's a lot of work to update and maintain the stats, so the last thing I want to do is sound like I'm complaining about such a fabulous free service!

I've reset it back to us.

I checked our dyndns account, no obvious sign of hacking. The account password is a random sequence, immune to dictionary attacks.

My guess: during a brief power failure several days ago, another site that uses dyndns happened to get assigned our last IP address. But our update client should have fixed that on it's own. It may need a restart.

Scratch that, our update client didn't restart after the power failure. Another server just got our previous IP address, no need to assume they have a dyndns account.
