As I said its nice to see your back.

Maybe as lonely here as have been usual of late.

But in truth I missed logging in every day.

Nice to be back Willy! Hopefully I can make things a little more difficult for hackers and spammers this time.

Happy New Year to all, and good to see, with my sight, that the site is back up and running. And David, I can relate since it seems my wife always cooks or buys food thinking I want it before even seeing if I am hungry.

Glad the site is back up even though is is not as it was years ago.
As far as the hackers and spammers go, my site was attacked several times and it took days to clean up the spam and porn left there.
I closed the registration so they had to email me and convince me that they were legit.
The destroyed all attempts from robots and vandals.  Haven't had a recurrence since.  I also changed my website to block all IP addresses from Russia and related countries.

I have changed the registration process to help control the riff raff, I would spend all day blocking IP's so I just let them sit waiting on approval. This pretty much blocks that ip from accessing the site until I either reject their application or approve them. One bad thing about blocking IP's is sometimes you block the good guys too! Now everyone has to go through the inspection process instead of automatic registration and immediate posting. This site is averaging about 30 registrations daily and I have only had 1 in the last week that I couldn't dig up dirt on, but I plan to watch for any strange or stupid posts just in case one slipped by!
