Ok - So I am back in on ssh and I assume everyone else who has an
account can now get back in. I have re-enabled the thttpd *just for
now*  as we can reboot if it borks again without tying a piece of
string to Magnus (thanks).

The Forum has broken - when I last looked at the logs it seemed that
php just ran out of memory when we try to call the page from within
the LightNEasy CMS - previously I had just linked it but even this
does not seem to work properly now. Feel free to poke around if you
get time as I'm stuck as to what the problem is here as it just about
worked ok before.

Ok.. so had a bit more of a poke around and there seems to be a bug in
Simple Machines forum that calls for more php memory than is possible
- looking at their forums this does not seem to be a problem with just
the SLUG. I think I'm going to move to a lighter forum - do you have
any ideas? Maybe phpbb?
