Is there anyone left who wants to save this forum? Or do you want to let it turn completely into a garbage dump and die?
Here's what I propose to do: I'll call the web host (Small Orange), explain the situation to them, and ask them to give me cpanel access to the web site. I'll then go into the mysql database and make myself a moderator, and then clear all the spam crap out, and ban the spam crappers.
They'll just laugh at me, unless I have the support of a lot of people. So here's what I want you (all of you) to do: Just post a message below saying that you support me in doing this.
If I can get, say, ten or more forum members to support me, then I'll try calling them, and telling them that I have the support of a bunch of members. They may still laugh at me, but the more support I have, the more likely they are to listen.
Of course, if someone wants to steal my idea and do it yourself, you're welcome to do so. Or even better, if Rags or Sam or some other existing moderator wants to come back and do his job, that's even better.
Good job! It's always heartening when the positive wins. There's enough negative at the moment, so this is truly welcome.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
