[CQ-Contest] ARRL contests results site down

[WW3S]

I am fairly certain that last year, with the sloooow processing by LOTW, the server was replaced over the weekend by W5OV…..so I assume it’s physically located at Newington….if thats the case, how can it be held for ransom? Cant you physically disconnect it, wipe it, and start from scratch with a backup ?!?!! If its not that simple, what am I missing?
