Dodgy posts: whats going on?

I don’t have any problems with this site, ad-wise or in terms of loading time.

Not sure what’s unsecure here either. For those concerned, maybe changing passwords would be a good idea.

I'm not saying that my spam explosion was due to the Ledge spam hacks, but it certainly made me curious.

That is all.

Given the news, it is rather amusing to me that it really is coming from Russia. In the past I had DDOS attacks from Asia, but over the last months it has been Russia.

I understand that sites that use flash like this one does are flagged as unsecure by google, because flash is outdated.

In the past, I could go in and use a command to kill processes that made the site slow. But I no longer have access to the server, so I can't change the speed.

Well I'm certain that MANY of us miss your owning and governing of this beloved site.

You were certainly a high point in my 14 years here. I sincerely thank you.

Thank you. I miss it too and I love it that you and a few other veterans are still here. Right now, there are journalists on Twitter for DCist and other publications who are overwrought because the new owner came and brought the paper and then deleted all of their old columns. They used the Internet as an archive for their work and they were devastated that a new owner erased it.

I think many of us used this site as an archive for Fleetwood Mac history and our own and we just want to have it here for as long as we can. The Wayback machine is no replacement for the real thing.

Why was this board sold? I'm a little out of the loop, I guess.
Are archived posts being deleted?
What exactly is going on?
And what's the story about malicious software now being found on the board?
I'm really confused.
If somebody could please fill me in, I'd greatly appreciate it.
This is my favorite FM community.

No, archived posts aren't being deleted, here. I was just saying that it's happening to other websites and I'm glad/relieved it didn't happen to this one when I had to sell it.
