Just wanted to let everyone know that I am checking in every day to delete the spam and ban the spammers.
I am assuming that we've hit a point where the security this forum software has is no longer sufficient to stop the latest generation of spam bots. As of now, it is still workable - it's no more than one or two at a time, and I can delete them as they arrive. If the pace picks up significantly, we may have to investigate alternatives.
We have had this forum for over a dozen years now, so that the spam is just now getting in is actually pretty amazing. ;-)
Also, in thanks I owe you a :brfm
Or other beverage of your choice. Please collect soonest. :)
It really isn't that bad right now. As you said, only a couple at a time. I would like to keep the Saga home going. Who knows what will happen if long lost members come back to find the lights out and the place closed down?
Oh, I for one never intend to let the lights go out. But if the spam becomes a serious problem, it might require installing new forum software, and doing what we can to preserve our favorite bits of history from the in-character stories and family chat. We had to do it once before, when we first started on this specific software.
But that's for future us to worry about. :---
I nominate, um, Talon, to do it.
In the future, of course.
I get it. For Talon, the future is now.

Shhh, Jasyn, they'll expect me to do it right away! :D
