Due to the sheer amount of continual spam on the old forums, I’ve just decided to shut them down all together. They really were not getting used, and combing through all the IP’s just really wasn’t worth the effort.
This is actually good news in a way, as I made myself find time to clean up the site, and convert from a Joomla install to a WordPress installation. The change was made because I simply don’t need anything more than WordPress right now to write articles and share my content. Looking forward to another great year!
I also would like to extend an open hand to the same, continual users who find it ‘fun’ to post comment spam and continually probe the server for vulnerabilities. It’s actually users like you who the community would benefit from the most as many of you have the right intentions, but are approaching sites like ours in the wrong spirit.
So, in short – I call on you (you know who you are) to join in my efforts to make things a little more fluid. If you want to be part of a community that embraces your abilities, then please – join me in helping others. However, if you continue to walk the path less traveled, that of a script kiddie, then you will not be welcome at all. Consider this our one and only invitation to cease and desist.
