    You've "banished" two, maybe three spam messages over the past year. If you don't have time to post then I'm sure you don't have time to moderate.

    If you read the first post in this thread (and the title of it as well) you would have seen that there has been someone working as a temp and has done some site updates recently.

    The last message I got from atomicAdam about two weeks ago indicated that until membership increases, there won't be a need to add more moderators, so that rules out the first part of my quote...

    Yeah, it's been a while. I got assigned to a major project at work, and it was like two years of 65-70 hour weeks. Really burned me out. Had no time to spar with anyone really. Project is flying now, and things are looking up.

    I thought he was a horrible site administrator. He was not open for any suggestions, moderated the hell out of the site which drove folks away, he was stubborn and pig headed, and he didn't take things at face value. Those were just his good points.

    Last time somebody said they HAD to let'er out, it was JSE. We could not get back on the forum for days until the stench cleared away. Hold it in pleeeeeeze!

    Sunday afternoon

    I have tried to contact Atomic Adam regarding what is fairly clearly a massive spam attack via the Private Message conduit.

    I would suggest that y'all do not open PMs from unknown individuals.

    What's Going On?

    thanks for noticing sticks...

    I was just going to say 'haven't had a PM yet', until 10 seconds ago when the page reloaded when I quoted your post, and I saw I had a pm from a certain 'member' Banshe (or something like that)...

    title was 'have you ever seen this site'.


    I too, strongly suggest not opening PM's from suspected spamming members, and not under any circumstances click any possible link shown to you in those PM's.

    Keep them spinning,
    Bert.

    Wow. Now all the "new members" are reading the private messages they've sent one another. It seems as if this is clogging up the bandwidth and slowing things down further but who knows?

    Nice knowin' ya'll. Where's everyone goin' to hang?


    Lopakhin and she converse about the weather and various mundane subjects, both trying to find a way to reveal their feelings. One of the workers calls for Lopakhin and he exits hastily without asking Varya to marry him. Varya is devastated and Ranevskaya comforts her when she returns. The family and their servants all gather to say their respective goodbyes to the estate and the cherry orchard, one by one departing for their new lives. Ranevskaya tearfully bids her old life goodbye and leaves as the house is shut up forever. In the darkness Firs wanders into the room and discovers that they have left without him and boarded him inside the abandoned house to die. He lies down on the couch and resigns himself to his fate, as offstage we hear the axes as they cut down the cherry orchard.

    Hi -

    Sorry for jumping into this thread late -

    Unfortunately my time is spread thin among audioreview forums, audioreview redesign, and other sites from consumerreview.

    audioreview is going to be the major part of my attention in the next couple of weeks and I hope to implement some of the suggestions and request from you'll.

    I know recently AR has been hit with PM spams - I've made some modifications to account permissions and am looking into pruning dated unused accounts.

    As far as forum functionality goes, all consumerreview sites that use vBulletin will be getting upgraded soon. This is mainly for security reasons but the forums functionalities will be nice as well. Unfortunately I have no control over when this will happen, but I know it is on our engineer's "to do sooner than later" list.

    Please help me help AR if you can.
    1) Report SPAM either in the forums or in the reviews.
    2) Email or PM me with concerns when you have them. adam (at) consumerreview (dot) com

    Thanks,
    -adam

    Adam,

    I see you're no longer an admin here. Do we now send our correspondences to AudioREVIEW Guy? Are upgrades to the vBulletin sites you mention still part of the plan?

    Also, I've noticed more threads being locked recently, including one that was locked yesterday for which there was no reason given, nor the admin/mod's name who locked it. Is that going to be the norm? Is AudioREVIEW Guy the permanent admin now?

    Hmmm. I wonder why BigMoney's thread was locked...though there was some level of disagreement it wasn't a flame war or anything. Can posters lock their own threads or was this an administrative decision?
