. . . let me know via PM here or at email BluntForceTrauma1867@gmail.com.

After the mass spam registrations attack, I've been mass pruning registrations based on inactivity, but apparently some active members have been caught up in the dragnet.

So something is seriously wrong with my procedure, and I apologize in advance, backwards, and sideways for any inconvenience.

Bear with me as we continue to work through the fallout from the latest spam attack.

I have heard from a many , that the sign in is messed up, also some data lost. There may be a better backup system out there. I'll get JR on the job also- to see what is available.

Hackers need to be in Jail. No chance for bail. The sound of the hangmans noose squeaking in the background as to how we need to treat these d bags., from here on out !!!

I think sneaky just found a new use for Grendel steel case....

Re- sign in using your old - username-handle. Let's get the count up some more. A many members never chimed in, yet the more the merrier as far as members go.

It's good to go, just c'mon back gang! Poor John, he stays up late @ nite for us all. He sent me a text @ 2:00am last week! Thanks to Hanka!!!! He saved the ship!

We lost a HUGE amount of sailors tho... sign back up dudes.

We'll be back to some version of normalcy soon.

I'm back in guys. Haven't posted much since I got my lathe, as I've been trying to get really good before I do any barrels or any precision work. Glad to be back and I'll try to be more involved. Tough at times with so much going on but I'll live. Lol.

Welcome back!

Good to see a many of you guys back.

RS, welcome back!

Everybody sign back up with old username- it will be fine.

I cannot resurrect deleted accounts, so if yours is nuked, please sign up again. Many thousands of apologies! Once you sign up and before your account is officially reactivated, you can still PM me if necessary.

John

Anyone else getting weird accounts pm'ing you and viewing your profile?

Some of those are accounts that are awaiting activation - likely spam (especially that bwaites one). It seems that they are able to send PM's while waiting to be activated. Personally, I haven't been getting any pm's, but I've got a hit or two from some mangled looking user names. Perhaps yours is being targeted because of your business affiliation...

Yeah, now mine is messed up- no business affiliation here. I can't send., or delete any pm's.

I just had my nerdy son run a scan on my programs here- all is clean---- he thinks it's in the server-- PROBABLY A VIRUS STILL IN THE SYSTEM ==KILL IT OFF ASAP !!!!!!!

HANKA MAN!!!! CRANK IT UP ON V BULLETIN!!!!

Thanks, to NugginFutz for a link on how to close a loophole in vBulletin's software. Did that and hope it prevents anyone further getting in.

Cool, I hope it works!


Anybody get a hold of Bob (RJStokes)? We sure need him back. I would give him a holler, but I don't have his email addy.

PM's, no. Viewing my profile, yes.
