Website restored

Like it never happened… the spam attack has been rolled back. We time traveled back to yesterday’s posts. Some legit posts may have been lost, for which I apologize… Moving forward all new users will have to be approved by administrators.

Thanks for your hard work flagging posts, there just turned out to be too many. This was the better solution.

who can be interested to disturb the forum and the information change for more independence…
would be a real pitty if all the informations, pictures ecc would disappeare…

Chris, thank you for your work, in addition to all the other work you do to save the homestead that suffered from the floods, you also have additional work to do with protecting and editing the content of this forum. Today it is very difficult to fight with “artificial intelligence” algorithms that hack into servers and archives similar to “ours”, manually managing posts will cause you additional work, but not protect you,… at least I think. It is difficult for a person to fight a “computer”, well, a computer against a computer can,…
World “religions”, such as European socialism, Muslim Hamas - the former “Non-Aligned Movement” have a common goal, to destroy the values ​​of Christianity and rule the World, they “hack” and destroy Christian values ​​in every way, attack the family, honest work, mock the Creator and all who cooperate with him…

Thanks for the creative fix, ChrisKY.
The other routes were far too laborious.

One hiccup currently is with your Time-back shift; is the reset password function is broken.
The to-your-email reset instructions did not come through to me.
Took me going back through a decade of old passwords myself in paper notebooks to get logged back on.

So any active member gone silent . . . they are probably trapped on the outside looking in unable to respond.
Screwing with the passwords function is also one of the oldest mischievous tricks.

Chris,
Thanks. I knew you would come to the rescue. It’s sad that people with nothing better to do, like to create chaos and make more work for others who are trying to do good.

Email has been restored. That includes password reset emails. We had to disable it temporarily to avoid mass emails of yesterday’s posts etc. Sorry for the delay.

Anybody still having issues getting in, you can email me separately at [email protected].
