Hooray to the return of the Forum!

[Leon]

It’s gone now.

Thanks.

It's just shows how easy it is to spam (and screwup) this forum

 

[JEK]

Yeah, but this was a lot longer.

The IT world was on fire with this:

I love the armchair IT pros here!

Listen, of the 3 mods, I no nothing about IT. But JEK and Kevin know lots.
The "right" people are now involved with the backbones of the forum and are committed to getting everyone a better FREE experience.

So, simmer down and enjoy your complimentary St Barths forum!

I don’t know about Kevin and Dennis, but I throughly enjoyed the Forum at a standstill. No Spammer hammers and no MFRs for days on end. Bliss

They could start using free(!) Cloudflare anti-bot and anti-spam tools a long time before this PHP saga, like in 2025, maybe.

I am grateful y'all are back and being non-technical, I just want to thank those that are, those that host, those that monitor, those that care..you know, pretty much everyone who has something to do with keeping this Forum going!

So many good people giving their time, and without you, we would 1. Mess up our posts 2. Starve to death without Kevin's list 3. Be really sad and have terrible withdrawal symptoms 4. Have no shoes and purses (Kevin again..not my fault) 5. Miss all of our friends 6. Have Bots who think we want coupons (You know the exceptions: D/H/D&G/LV..) 7. Nothing to dream about...so keep up the good work!!

I do hope they will upgrade the system to the latest version of XenForo (at the bottom of this page the copyright only goes to 2023?). Top of my wishlist outside of bot/spam protection and constant bandwidth issues is a dark mode. Agree with Cloudflare. But please give us a dark mode.

in addition to advocacy by Mods to restore the Forum to operation, much also is owed to etx for his proactive role in championing the effort! Thanks to all in doing so.

posting name of Lake Littlejohn, a poster on the Forum — his abbreviation for ”East Texas,” where he’s a young physician.
