Hi all,
You have no doubt seen the massive amounts of SPAM flooding the message board. There will be a massive cleanup underway in the coming days, and some changes server-side as well. Expect to see a few new faces on the moderator team in the coming weeks, too.

For the time being I have disabled anonymous (Guest) posting capabilities to stem the flood of automated spam postings. Anyone can still read all posts, but only registered users can post new messages. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Good to finally see someone to take responsibility for what can be a return to an excellent forum full of good information, helpful advice and more importantly NO SPAM * NO MALWARE LINKS

I'll be more than happy to return to this board and assist the Admin\Mod group in any way.

Well there is a new moderator in town.....me.  Very Happy

Expect things to begin to take shape and reform this board back into a force it once was, way back before things went a lil off course.

I'll be trimming some things here and there, keeping an eye on any loose canon posters, locking up some old topics and doing some HijackThis! analysis as well.

I hope those of you who have kind of left this board will return more regularly and begin to actively post again.

It's in your hands and we can't resurrect the board without you all.

Thanks for taking the time.
