    The search function must be off then, if I can’t view it. Checking now…

    Ah, yes…

    So, I’m guessing it was turned off to make the CPU use lower, and make PowWeb happier until we can get this moved to another host. (and to SMF to stop this spam)

    This mod works beautiful to protect against spammers: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i … p?mod=2932

    Yep cool, yeah I’ve admin’d a half dozen larger SMF forums now, never had a problem defeating the spammers with a few add-on packages.

    Bring it on! It’s a lot harder to ban and remove posts without the search option active, and these past few days, we’ve been hit pretty hard.

    Yep, I’ve banned over a dozen IP ranges in a few days myself. I’m on it.

    Where has the forum been for the past few days? I haven’t been able to login for almost a week. Finally got in today, but it’s cold treacle slow! As usual, banned a bunch of idiots and removed their posts.
    I think Leif needs to look for a much more secure and friendly provider if he intends to make this forum and the marketplace it provides more viable.

    Why does it take so long to move this site to another provider?

    Are you also administrator of this site Milky?

    I think you make a valid point about this forum. At this time it is very frustrating and irritating to visit this forum.

    I think Jesse and Leif are too busy about the new hardware box and the new software update’s that are coming this summer….

    At my suggestion (because I am available in a different time zone), Leif gave me some admin powers to try and control the amount of spam we are getting. I do what I can.

    If I was staring down the barrel of a (potentially) HUGE livelihood from after sales and commisions from the "hardware box", I guess I’d find it hard to devote time to commenting on this forum too. (Just my take on it).

    On what timezone do you live exactly? I check this board many times a day for new posts, but usually I only find spam (well, not now of course because of the latest bans..). My timezone is UTC+2..

    I’m in Australia, so the timezone is UTC+9:30.
