I confirm Russell John's explaination..

I did visit Ubuntu-BD yesterday several time for some work... Last time I
visited their was 11 pm.

Its not always wise to say things like that sir. I have been in the project
well over 9 months till now the site was down only once for about a week or
two for the Ubuntu DNS error on the part of Cannonical itself.

You may personally know the person who is responsible then you also may know
the condition and hurdle he is going through to keep this project alive...
You have to consider this is not one man job to keep everything in line..

I am respectful about others opinion but an opinion should be well supported
one. I understand the embarrassment for you this time and we are sorry about
that but it was really urgent to bring the site down. Not only Ubuntu-BD
other sites were also brought down in the process.

And we did had a notice in irc Channel well before it went down. So we hope
that people will be regular on the irc channel to get more recent and
frequent update about our activities.
