I've had ongoing issues with hackers since XWord Info started. For some reason, some lovely jokesters think it's fun to bombard my site with hundreds of requests per second. Some are trying to download all the millions of pages on the site. Some seem to enjoy just being obnoxious.
I've finally decided that, instead of wasting hours of my life every time someone tries to hack me, I'll throw money at the problem. I'm completely reconfiguring how XWord Info works on the Internet, pushing all traffic through a specialized Front Door designed to detect bots and hackers. Doing all the updates takes time, and propagating them through the internet takes more time, and the result is XWord Info was down for hours today. It's still down for many people, and I still have some work to do to complete the process, which might mean even more down time before I'm done.
In theory, once I complete this (and pay the outrageous monthly fee) hackers should be thwarted. Or probably they just have to work harder. No idea how well this will work.
So, sorry for the interruption. I know many of you rely on XWord Info for your work or your hobby. With luck, the future will be brighter.

The new XWord Info store has some quality products you absolutely need. Well, perhaps not need, but you can support this website and help spread the word by purchasing a mug, a t-shirt, or an excellent hoodie.
If you're a constructor, let me know if you'd like a product with your own "baseball card" or an image of your favorite grid.
