webmail.hackinthebox.org is going down -- for good.

I've got some bad news for everyone using HITB's webmail system... I just received this e-mail from BigMailBox (the providers for webmail.hackinthebox.org):

Dear Webmaster:

Due to overwhelming demand for service and associated capacity issues,
BigMailBox's free advertising-supported e-mail program has been suspended
effective immediately. You may choose to apply for our "Special Delivery"
paid service, available to you at the average rate of 10 cents per active
mailbox per month

Needless to say that's quite fscked-up, but I guess that's the way it goes. Now, considering HITB makes 0 dollars per month, we certainly don't have the revenue to undertake their paid mail service (we've got about 1000+ users using the webmail.hackinthebox.org service). Anyways, this notice is to let everyone know about the suspension in service, and to give you guys enough time to pull whatever important docs/emails you might have in there. If anyone out there would be willing to undertake the provision of the webmail system for the 1000 odd users who are going to be left stranded, then by all means PLEASE E-MAIL ME. On behalf of BigMailbox and HITB, I'd like to apologize for this unforseen situation.

Warmest regards,
L33tdawg.
