How is the project going? Is there anything we, the visitors, can do to help? You have done a great job by the way.
Thank you!
If you are referring to the work in the
Forum, it's basically all done. Little details here and there, some adjustments, and so on. Right now the
Forum is as good as it gets.
If you are referring to the
previous Forum, recovering it is a bit of a task and risky. The
Forum is growing a lot. I posted today, early afternoon my time, so my post was at the top. A couple of hours later it was down a lot and I bet that by tomorrow it will be in the second page.
People are posting a lot, more than before I believe. So, to bring back old posts, which overwhelmed the previous
Forum and made it crash, would be a bit too much. I'll see if I can recover files and repost them in a special archives folder. I'm even concerned that soon we'll have to upgrade the server for higher capacity, which means we'll have to move this
Forum again. We might need a bigger server the things are going.
I'm recovering all the posts that were in the
hacked forum, and it is a big task. I don't do it everyday so it will take sometime. But I have most of the posts from 2016 all the way to 2018, we'll see how this goes. After recovering them I have to reconnect them. But this is not going to be happening soon. It will take a while.
One big issue right now is the number of spammers trying to register. I get over 50 per day. 1 or 2 of those 50 are legit, the rest are spammers. Getting help in that area would be great; however, I would have to give admin powers to those people and that is kind of a big issue because all that is involved. I will discuss it with Ralphus and figure out what to do.
