We're back!

[Grumpy Goat]

I didn't notice it was down. How long was it down?
I did see there were spam threads the last week.

On Tuesday it started. When one accessed the forum URL instead of presenting the landing page the browser downloaded a script file. Had no time to resolve that day and so it was fixed only yesterday.

There are spam bots applying to the Forum all the time and they are deleted behind the scenes. Occasionally a human spammer continues with the process and gets verified so in those cases I rely on reports to purge these.

I think that overall, the lack of ads, foreign languages, consistent uptime, and better signal : noise ratio makes it worthwhile, compared to other forums. Traffic may be slower but there is more wheat and less chaff.
