I apologize for the system slowing down to nothing periodically. We continue being battered by spambots. I'm working on identifying and banning the originating IP addresses, which should give us some relief until the bad boyz come up with the next batch.

One of our spammers, www.loanni.com, had his domain name expired today, so it's not just us who're noticing this crap.

We'll also probably be going to a login system for users who don't have a cookie. That'd be the easiest I could make it.

#5  Fred, you have my deep and very sincere thanks for spending the time and effort necessary to keep this site on the air. Much of what is compiled here simply can't be found anywhere else, and it is much appreciated. Thanks again.

#4  Hang in there, Fred - it's a guarantee that we'll hang with you.

Please don't apologize; what you've been doing is superhuman, and we appreciate it.

Hit that tipjar, Ranters!

Death to spambots!

#2  I would be fine with a login. If you could make it so we could change our display names to openly mock people that would be gravy.
