When I try to access the useful BR database website I'm getting this message:

Sounds like the owner hasn't been paying their bills. Hopefully an oversight rather than a sign that the owner has abandoned the project.

Apparently it has been suffering a Denial of Service attack and this has used up all web resources for July. I presume that it will be back now it is August. (I have no idea what the above means.)

BRDatabase was still running about a week ago, with a warning message that it would go down temporarily once the monthly web resources limit was reached.

The warning message had a reassurance that this was not the case.

A DOS attack will flood a webserver with lots of web requests, sounds like its hit the quota for web requests this month.
