Thank you jacob for all your hard work!

I have just got my phpdoc sites up and running again and moved them on 
to a host with a bit more bandwidth that they had before.

I have added bbPress and BackPress into the mix too.

The root of the site is http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/ and it is set to 
automattically update every 30 minutes as things change.

Cheers
