Crescent Coral Base is down

I know several comments have been made about this in various other threads, but I thought I'd better start a thread just for this issue, since it doesn't seem to be just a short-lived fluke.

At 8:45 am EST I tried to log on. Well, actually, when I first went to the page, I got a notice that the page no longer exists. I tried again and got the page. Then I tried logging on and got an error message followed by a suggestion that I check my cookies. I tried a couple more times and was ready to toss my cookies when I gave up.

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Yeah, I keep getting a 404 error message when I try to log in.

I know through Facebook that MsAnn is onto it, and it is probably just a matter of time before it is up and running again.

I've decided to migrate to a new board. The old board will stay up as read only. The new board's URL is https://crescentcorallibrary.com/mb/index.php.

The reason why I'm doing this is because I've been hit with all kinds of Russian spambots and everything I've tried to stop them has broken the board. This is why it was down. The stuff I need to keep the bots away is built into the new board.

Thank you, MsAnn.

Damned spambots. We need some kind of Blade Runner to 'retire' them all.

Looking forward to the new board Smile

Thank you for setting up the new board, MsAnn and for giving us an alternate place to "hang out".

It's a lot of work, no doubt, and we do appreciate it! Smile

Yeah spambots are why so many older forums especially have been in such bad shape. Frown

As soon as I read "Russian spambots", I envisioned a lot of little Zarks dressed as Cossacks....
