The site was taken down a while ago, and it caused problems with the resource section. As we only have one administrator that deals with the entire site operation (and he's only been appointed after that time), it takes a while to get things going properly again. It's nearly done, as far as I'm aware, it just needs a few things ironed out.

Outside attacks. No real reason. Just friendly neighbour 'hackers'.

Because it's more than just accepting the sources. It's to do with the way things are sorted and appear for users. That's a coding issue.

Because we can take them in and store them, it's just outputting them correctly (in the correct section) that needs fixing.

Also the date shown with the resources is the year the donor completed their HSC. So some resources which have been recently approved may have dates which are 3 or 4 years old. Unless there has been a syllabus change, these resources are still just as helpful as newer ones.

After I finish the HSC I would love to dig up all my junior to HSC stuff to help the community, hopefully the resources section will be working smoothly by then, if not, I will externally upload and make a massive thread galore :)

harrisony is the one responsible for fixing anything now. It was different people in charge when it went down. It's hardly an issue now, except for a few minor things here and there.

hey absolutezero do you know how long it would take for it to be up and running?

it would be good to get all the newer resources before my HSC for sure. like for eg the notes for english beloning

It would be great for everybody if they were up ASAP. But as it stands, I'm looking for an answer, but I haven't got it. When I do, I'll report back.
