What happened to them?

Spammer attack.

Shouldn't there be a facility on here for the moderator to revive threads which have archived by the spammers ? - the forum would work fine if this could happen and the spammers would be wasting their time - this forum is probably so popular because you don't have to logon like most other forums !

Its more or less my fault...
Travis   Sunday, June 12, 2005, 20:43 GMT
Unfortunately, a certain someone has not implemented yet that which is necessary to put an end to all of this once and for all, even though it had been said quite a while ago already that "they were already working on it"...

It wasn't your fault, Sander. And I agree with Travis... something really should be done now...
Sander   Sunday, June 12, 2005, 20:47 GMT
Yeah,Id be perfectly happy if the topics could be revived.like they were when they got bumped off..

I agree it's strange that with forum technology that's been around for awhile that this forum still doesn't have basic safeguards. I'm a member at unilang.org's forums if anyone's interested in checking it out--it's not always as active as antimoon but they have a wider range of topics, unicode is supported, and it's better protected--there are usually plenty of interesting discussions going on.

--Here's their forum index:

--Here's the English forum:

http://home.unilang.org/main/forum/viewforum.php?f=21

--my username is svenska84 there if you come across any of my posts--if you do end up going there and checking it out leave me a message or two :) And, all this is not to undermine antimoon but t least this can maybe tide you over till antimoon gets better.

Most definitely - the most easily could change the software for this place (how many different pieces of nicer forum software written in PHP or like are already out there - heh), but whenever such is brought up, you know who says that he's just the moderator that he can't do any of that, and that has to be done by a certain other person that I've never seen on here whatsoever in the first place. Can we say trying to dodge the issue?

I, too, have registered at unilang. Haven't posted yet. Username : greg-fr.
Travis   Sunday, June 12, 2005, 22:20 GMT
I applied to them, but I haven't gotten an email back from them yet.
Travis   Sunday, June 12, 2005, 22:22 GMT
Whoops, I had it sent off to the wrong email address.

Kirk,
much better forum. Thanks

My recent posts have been deleted and I wonder why...
Antimoon has become too weird lately .
Travis   Sunday, June 12, 2005, 22:33 GMT
Ack, their confirmation mechanism is *not* working - it is rejecting all passwords that I've provided it, even the one that was provided by the "forgot your password?" machism on the site...
Travis   Sunday, June 12, 2005, 22:38 GMT
Chamonix, well, that's because you know why has a tendency to delete posts that are "off topic", of course off topic being what said individual decides on a whim is such, usually due to not liking such themselves.
