Discussion Board Updates -- Plagues of the Internet

[rdowell]

Our service provider updated our forum software and in the process "lost" many of the controls and regulations that I had installed to avoid BOTs, SPAM, and other malicious non-human postings.   


I've now fixed the problem.  I apologize if anyone was inconvenienced or offended by the trash that showed up on this board between the update and the fix.


Unfortunately, I've had to completely disable registration for now.   I am STRONGLY considering shutting down this board in favor of using services provided by FACEBOOK ... and will test that out this week.....
