This message is on their homepage:


Our mamboforge.net site is currently down as a result of a failed power supply on the host server. While the power supply has been replaced, a hard drive on the server also suffered problems and has resulted in further delays.

At this stage we cannot predict exactly when full services will be restored but this problem is being given priority attention by those involved. A special thanks needs to go to Mitch Pirtle, working hard despite sickness, and also to Miro International for lending prompt and invaluable assistance when needed most.

We apologise for any inconvenience this disruption causes. Thankyou for your patience.

and this is also in my cpanel. Note sure if it relates to the problem above.


As you will no doubt be aware, the Mambo developers and general community have recently been under attack by a man named Brian Connolly who believes that code he paid Emir Sakic to develop was later contributed back into Mambo and that he has copyright ownership over it. We refute this claim and have provided evidence to the contrary. To this point Connolly has only referred to his evidence of copyright assignment. He has produced nothing.

While this argument about copyright, GPL, what was done or not done is better discussed in the proper forums, it has shown how bullying, mistruth, ignorance and aggression can harm Mambo and the people who enjoy it as a hobby, a livelihood and a passion.

Connolly is threatening the public with litigation and even criminal prosecution which we think is wildly reckless behaviour and resembles white collar terrorism. Miro is supporting the community in seeking legal advice regarding legal action to restrain his actions. But this is not the first time someone has abused the copyright of Mambo for their own benefit and Miro has been active in stopping them wherever possible.

We appeal for worldwide support from Mambo users and the greater technology community to help ensure the continued freedom of Mambo, safeguard Mambo developers and protect Mambo users.

We have decided to create a donation fund which will help pay for litigation and legal action to keep Mambo free. The Free Mambo fund will be administrated by Mambo Communities, a company established to maintain the Mambo Open Source Project and you can donate by clicking on the "Donate Now" Button.
