Would it be beneficial to make an announcement stating WW3 and WW2 work, opposed to WWW. I doubt the majority of the community know about this option. Be useful in sight of the recent DDoSing.
I suppose but realistically ddosing on this scale isn't that common and normally ww2 and ww3 are slower than www as they have to go through a proxy etc.
They're alternative servers to use I think, I asked Richard about them some time back and he didn't really advise using them if the main link was down.
