According to the Aquanaut website:

Latest News

Aquanaut.COM Web Server Attacked

On November 1st, an intruder exploited a loophole in the web server 
that supports this site. Amongst other things, they uploaded and ran 
a program that infected the system and did significant damage to 
files on the web server.

We have restored most of the system, but some files are on tapes that 
had just been sent off-site. Only older, out-of-date copies remain 
on-site. The TechDiver subscription list is one such file.

Members of this list should resubscribe, by sending email to 
techdiver-request@aquanaut.com with the single word subscribe in the 
text part of the message (i.e., not in the Subject). We will get 
round to retrieving the tapes and restoring the missing files, but 
this won't happen for a few days, by which time many folk will 
probably have resubscribed anyway, making the point moot. Sorry.

We have manually resubscribed all folk who have posted to the list in 
the last few months.

On November 5th, further suspicious entries in our system logs led us 
to disable our listserver again. TechDiver was affected. Mail sent to 
the list and the list server was unceremoniously bounced during the 
day. The cause of the entries was eventually determined and isolated, 
and the listserver has been re-enabeled. Apologies for the further 
inconvenience.


My guess is that either people aren't participating right now because 
they don't realize the listserver is working again, or the listserver 
is still having some problems. Either way, it might take a few weeks 
for things to return to normal.
