I don't know the exact details but basically the site has a set bandwidth. Bandwith is the amount of traffic the site can handle in a given time.

The easiest way i can explain is we get a set amout of bandwidth similar to a full tank of fuel. Every time the site is used it uses a bit of bandwith/fuel. We have used to much bandwidth so its like running on an empty fuel tank.

Hope that makes sence? but it is quite late

Ok... Well the shut down part is April Fools... but...

We have maxed our quota over twice and i'm having to watch the site very closely to see how much it is going up and to try and find the cause.

If the site does go down then please bare with me until I can sort it out... at the moment i shall just be watching it.
