As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

FTE Is Our New Global Moderator

Post by MoT »

Please help me in welcoming FTE to his new role as moderator.

FTE is currently located in Germany and I asked him to take up the task of dealing with the pesky spammers we've had occurring. Think of it as the night shift; when most of us are asleep here in North America, FTE will be making sure the site isn't bombarded with posts about crypto-currency, get rich quick schemes or other garbage.

Thanks FTE! :D

Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Great! As the board motto reminds us, we're only interested in getting poor quickly. Thanks, FTE!
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Thanks FTE. I haven’t noticed any spammy posts at all, so MOT must have been working hard. I am glad that you are helping out there and thank you for your good deeds.
