wowbb hosts both of the sites. We are both down, well....having problems anyway. Wowbb doesnt have the best customer support. I went with them because they are the least expensive for hosting.

Thats my bet and now vaguntrader verified they are on the same provider...and DHS reported last winter (Jan 2009) in a special report about left wing extremists that one of their MOs is cyber attacks...read about it here...
