If you mean the FTP server it is quite simple. In every case that I have been aware of the FTP server has stopped working because the bills have not been paid. This usually happens because there are no routines in place for payment. By this I mean if a certain person goes on vacation or is sick then the bills gather dust until they return. Why they do not pay for services in full for the whole year is a question that you will have to ask the Studentis Group. My feeling is that it because they do not posses adequat funds. Which is kind of strange because everything seemed to be liquid while Kosta was in charge.

Now if it concerning the new Abandonia and why things fail frequently I will go into detail if you like. But the basic reason is because the site is built on Drupal 4.7 and poorly coded Drupal. Studentis (despite warnings from all the web developers) chose to go with an older version of Drupal and not make any changes to the core system to accomodate Abandonias needs (which are huge!!).

If you want a more technical outline of the causes including explainations of the LAMP stack then I will start a thread on this elsewhere.
