 * If this is not the right forum for this problem, please advise. The lack of response
   is frustrating. I realize, and appreciate, that all are volunteers. But just 
   a suggestion as to where to go for a solution would be a help.
    I don’t know 
   how to rightly define the fact that, aside from my front page, any attempt to
   go in archives or to reach my site by outside links produces 404s. I can post
   to my site, add links, but everything else is screwed up. Is it hacking, a malicious
   script, a bot attack of some sort? Is it a result of upgrading to 2.6? If I know
   what to call it, I’ll approach my host with it.

 * My site is just pages of 404s. If this forum can not help me, will someone at
   least let me know I am in the wrong place. I am not computer savvy and if I posed
   the question the wrong way, then just please just say so and direct me where 
   i need to go.

 * Hi,
    Not sure why there is no response here. I am wondering now if i did something
   wrong when upgrading to 2.6, though the weird script showed up before then. Someone
   said the site was under a bot attack. I have no idea whether this forum can help
   me or if i have to talk to my host. Any counsel here would be appreciated.

 * Roadsassy.com is my blog. Sending Hosting Matters your questions about mod_security,
   they responded with this, which, i guess, means I can’t use the word socialism
   in my titles or posts. or something. Does this mean I am going to be deluged 
   with spam?
