So I wonder if LC just abandoned the forum format?

I can understand that the site's owners have better things to do than to babysit an old webforum. But we still have a strong core of longtime participants which has helped keep things going. That's why I think the forum can select a couple of community respected moderators (Wonkette, Grey Badger, etc) that can keep the place clean.

I just wonder if its time to start to think about post-4T contacts if the site becomes unusable or eventually shutdown?

Thanks for the complement, but I've got too much on my plate to take over monitoring a website.

I PM'd Corenabh, who was the last assigned Admin. I have not heard back.

If you're interesting in exploring it, I could set up a new top-level forum in the Generational Dynamics forum.

It's long overdue, but this user has been banned. If there are any other users who are obviously trolls that we have missed during this cleanup, please PM this account with their username or post it in the User Moderation thread. Thanks for your help.

Which user? Just curious...

Sorry for the delay, I apparently missed this post. Anyway, it seems that your forum along with Neil's Facebook group could be seen as as a rallying point. Hopefully though things are improving now so that won't be a problem.

It seems one of our resident spammers has hacked in despite being banned. Perhaps sending the code below to Jelsoft can address this. If one looks at the code, you can see it's logged in and making spam albums.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Looks like there was an error with this user's permissions. It should be fixed now.

I think this poster returned as "southern lady," if I'm not mistaken. But maybe she's more well-behaved now.

Thanks. That cleans up my ignore list to just 1 person.
