For now, at least, we’re back online. It was a server load too high issue again – something is causing the entire database to be copied to a “tmp” file, over and over again. I wish I knew how to fix it.
For now, I’ve turned almost all the plug-ins off (I’ve left the plug-in that enables the “recently commented posts” thingy on the right running), in case it’s a bug in one of them. Meanwhile, until this problem is fixed, my server retains the option of shutting “Alas” off at any point.

Curiously, it was while this site was down that I had several occasions to recommend it.
