I thought we got deleted there for a second. I couldn't log in for about a half hour.

Glad we're still up and running.

Guys we need to get some new moderation in here soon.

When it was down today, I emailed Sparklit who apparently owns activeboard, who runs this place.

And they said:
The account that it is housed under is under investigation for terms of service violations

Hosting copyrighted material.


So I said:
Well that's great. What happens next? I don't think any of us want to lose the site.

And they said:
The account had dozens of other forums associated with it. We need somone to step up and insure that the site is moderated

 I imagine the terms of service violation was the spam posts.  My comcast email account was under investigation.  It had been hacked and sent out over 2000 spam emails!!  I got it back because the emails originated from many different IP addresses but none from me.

 Somehow he/she needs to be perma-banned. I'm surprised it wasn't done a while back

Seems like you're new to the concept of internet spam.

 

All that junk gets shot off from many, many different places. Though, suppose it originated from one place. If you perma-ban that location, they'll just launch from another one. Sure, you can ban them as they show but for how long before you've blocked everyone from here?

 

 

What this site needs is better security. If the shiity bots can get past our 5-digit alphanumeric CAPTCHA, then obviously we're lacking something.

 

But then again, this is a free forum, so we don't get the same security as licensed forums like IPB.
