As you POTN addicts are aware, I set up an alternative forum on my website last night, after it was apparent that POTN would be down for several hours.
I did this sot that you guys had someplace to go without having to hit F5 endlessly on the POTN home page... 
Looks like you had some fun there, and I'm happy that you found the forum useful.
Statistics for a little over 12 hours up-time were:-

Since POTN is now fully on-line, I have pulled the plug on The-Aperture.com. The forum may return if and when there is any significant down-time from POTN (which we hope won't be the case).
Many thanks for visiting....
