Thank you so much, Pease - it's great to have the Ship back afloat! ❤️

Yay! It was a bit stressful not having my Ship family to hang around with!
Thank you, @pease and everyone who helped to right the Ship!

Thanks to everyone who righted the Ship, especially @pease who carries this load.

Thank you to everyone who worked to fix the problem, and especially @pease !

Thanks so much to all who helped re-float the Ship. I have been suffering withdrawal symptoms.

Seems like now would be a good time for a celebration.

Oh no! It appears to have bobbed back up.

Well, I imagined it being raised like the sunken Mary Rose carrack, covered in barnacles and slimy weed, with a warped hull, rotting timbers and collapsing decks. Just the Ship as we know and love her.

It is good to see old friends again.

So, what's the story?

A few days ago, AI worked out how to hack some aspect of PHP code I do not understand. @pease took the site offline in order to install the necessary patches to ensure we couldn’t be hacked. (Hackers would be looking to steal your personal data.)

Thanks, @pease!

I note the warning here that events like this may become more common, as a result of AI.

Or the SS Great Britain being carted back from the Falklands. Although that turned out to be a short-term fix…

TY to @pease and all who helped.

Thank you to the ship's salvage and repair crew!

It's good to see the Ship back afloat and to know that everyone is not being slowly consumed by hagfish at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. A big thank you to all those who have achieved our rescue.
