dude Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Sorry for the loss of the forums for 24 hours as an attempt to upgrade the forum software went very wrong. With the help and advice of hero Graeme... we were able to figure out the problem and go back to our original version of AD Forums. With valuable lessons tucked safely in our belts... we will march forward and in the middle of next week try again. I'm sure you're all tired of those disgusting str8 porn ads that have popped on our forums lately... so hopefully this upgrade will also upgrade our security in preventing hit-and-run spam attacks. Thanks for bearing with us! Link to comment

Think nothing of it. I had a ball making fun of the spammer. So... You are spamming a gay literary forum with str8 porn??? How does it feel being a rocket scientest? Even my cat was laughing his furry butt off. Link to comment
blue Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Many thanks to Graeme for his hard work. We are very fortunate to have good help around here. Software can be buggy and hardware can go bad. It is exceedingly aggravating when people's best efforts don't work, because of something that isn't their fault. Dude, you rock. It's surprising how different it was without the AwesomeDude Forums to check in on. I know I missed them and the people who are here. Thanks to Graeme and Dude, we are up and running again, and all of us learned something. Welcome back, everyone! Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Dude, Your efforts are greatly appreciated. When little glitches (or big ones) affect the forums I agree with blue in how much I miss them. It will take a lot more than a glitch in trying to make things better for us to dessert you. Graeme, you are an Aussie legend. To be truthful I have not scene any Str8 or other spam/pop-ups. I am always amazed how the str8 porn people misconstrue the objectives of being gay. duh! "Rocket Scientist" good one, jamessavik Hope the cat has recovered. Link to comment
Camy Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Phew, thank goodness. I was beginning to get antsy withdrawal symptoms. Thanks to Graeme, the Dude, and all those good internet sprites who persevered to bring the forums back. Camy a happy Emu Link to comment
TalonRider Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I for one know what you mean about having problems with upgrades. The last two upgrades to The House I had to have Invision take care of. I've had to take measures against spammers also. Guests are now allowed to post in only one forum and only then after approval will the post appear. I'm glad to see AD back once again. Jan Link to comment
