This past week was very frustrating for me as I tried to get the control panel for the website cleaned out and begin upgrades on the software that I use to run the website itself.
Despite my best effort at doing this in a speedy manner, our server continued to be used as a target for spammers sending large quantities of emails. Apparently, we have been targeted because someone was able to do it successfully and stay under the radar somehow. Basically, they are able to use some weak points in the older versions of the software I'm using to send their emails through.
Again, they aren't accessing our private information...just our email server.
So....there will be many changes this week as I do upgrades. This may mean that the forum will be temporarily unavailable as I upgrade to new software or that the main website will be unavailable for awhile. In addition, I may have to register an entirely new domain name and transfer everything over there.
If you notice any 'bugs', please let me know...
I am really grateful for your continued patience and support...hopefully, this problem will be fixed asap.
