A Message from your Moderation Team

Greetings Forum,

Well, here’s the news. The platform we operate on is WordPress as you all know, myself and the key master Paul have been busy installing new security and also sweeping the site for unwanted spam. When we began the scrubbing about three weeks ago, there were over 26,000 users and 1263 pages. As we sit today we are under 2,500 users and 128 pages,  the scrubbing continues. Our purpose in doing this work is give our members a clean, secure and well functioning forum. I think the only person that I’ve mistakenly removed was Brandon Lee Adams (Brandon understood and you can see he’s now posting).  I can tell already the the performance of the site is much better, we sub on. Thanks for your continued support.      Your Moderation team

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Big thanks guys, I know keeping any interactive site running safely in today’s world is no small task. I hadn’t noticed any issues, so it’s not surprising to me that we had many bot / fake accounts.</p>

Hard to believe we had that many fake accounts – but very glad you’re taking care of them –

 

That would explain why elon is withholding his offering –

And we’re DONE, the forum is swept clean and shinny, our final tally: we started with over 25,000 “users” and 1260+ pages of users. As of this moment, we have 996 users and 50 pages of users. It’s not perfect but it’s way better and allows us to use better, simpler security and a clean place to play. Please no need to comment, we do this for you all and Richard and the entire staff at SCGC.
