Absolute Write has been experiencing a series of sustained DDOS attacks. This was a deliberate, malicious and coordinated attack designed to take AW offline.

They’ve left footprints, however, and we're collecting data for the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
For obvious reasons, we can’t answer specific questions about who, what or why.

We have had to license additional software. We have also incurred other costs. We deeply appreciate our members’ patience, and the contributions of those of you who have been able to help us defray ongoing costs.

AbsoluteWrite.com has been online -- with the exception of some scheduled server-maintenance time, one memorable host-holding-the-database-hostage incident, and a few random server crashes -- more-or-less continuously since 1999.

We plan to continue merrily right on into the 2020s.
