The observant amongst you will have noticed [*] that the PLUG website 
has been down a bit recently and is currently down, probably for a while.

The lug.org.uk run server which hosted it has been the subject of a 
number of attacks which have lead to the server being taken offline. 
Until now it was responsible for the mailing lists (eg this one) and 
other things relating to lug.org.uk too, but the functions are in the 
process of being separated out. When a new (virtual) server is up and 
the code migrated to it, peterboro.lug.org.uk will return.

It is likely that the server will use tools like suhosin 
(http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/) to limit the likelihood of future 
PHP-based attacks, so depending on the quality of the underlying Joomla 
code the site may suffer some additional issues on its return (much 
better that potential flaws get limited and we have to fix the site than 
the alternative, I have to say).

[*] So that's nobody then!
