ATTN ALL MEMBERS - Spam Issues and Lost Content

OK don't panic. All I need is an itemized list of the 53 bowls that JimInks smoked during the period the site was down including brand, blend, pipe make, model, year of manufacture and any historical anecdotes associated with the pipe. Also, what he had for dinner.

Yep. This was one of my first thoughts.

If the record shows Jim wasn't smoking for days, then you know the record isn't correct.

Well, if you go back to Jan. 17th of this year, and read four days worth, you'll have the info you'll need to fill in the missing posts for this week.

In addition to being a perfect gentleman, Jim is very consistent in his rotation. (Even with 8-12 bowls a day, you have to go back over six months as he has so many pipes.)

why doesnt the forum have an "All new members first post is reviewed before appearing rule"
This would stop spammers and works on other forums.Irealise it increases workload of mods but would keep board clean and avoid above problems
THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A CRITISISM OF THE MODS,who do a good job

I need to know the cat politics, it's incredible how he manages to herd them.

I was setting that up to be the first 5 posts, which actually worked, but at the same time I also inadvertently made everyone an administrator.

After an hour of unsuccessfully trying to reverse that, I had to have restore from backup. Then, the server tech chose the backup from Tuesday instead of Friday.
