It just keeps running out of space. 60GB of shit now (mainly from the other forum, which has been going for almost 18 years) so once it dies I have to increase it.

It went down a couple of days ago (twice in quick succession) but should have been fine since?

It was down for me this morning, and again about 10mins ago.

I'm finding that my old Active Topics bookmark was bringing me to an error page. So I saved a new bookmark and it seems fine.

Cached page, maybe? Try hitting F5 next time you see the error page?

All looks OK here....

I’m wondering if the security of this place has been compromised? 2 times this week I’ve received spam email that someone has recorded me pleasuring myself on my webcam and to prove it they’ve given me my password - I only use that password for this forum :?
How about not having a sig at all?

It's a free, highly used forum software that undoubtedly an easy targetable goldmine of users and passwords across the web. So probably, yeah :lol:

Well it’d be on my iPhone.
The most surprising thing is the way the email suggests I’m watching really weird porn. I thought donkey midget nugget porn was pretty standard these days :?
