Once the main contributors began showing up less often it was quite a different feel.

Roy and I were the remaining Admins, and the Mods who attended the forum regularly, were stopping by less and less. Once that trend became more prevalent, the spammers and those looking to get back-links and selling their junk there became rampant. There wasn't a day that went by near the end that I didn't ban at least a dozen spammers and delete all their junk.

So, the "good" conversations and good contributions decreased, the site was attacked a couple of times and went down each time. I guess the owners figured they were not getting the required traffic and advert click thru's, and it was more hassle to keep it going, so the last time it went down, they didn't even try to restore it.

They said they were looking into the issue, but ultimately it was gone at that point. And, they didn't even say thanks for all the "free labour" work we put in to help keep it going.

And that, as they say, was that. :shrug:

My eyes just glazed over when I got to "phpBB extentions".

Well, it looks like we finally might be getting a bit of snow. Maybe it'll be a white Christmas after all. Going to be driving thru KY the end of next month on our way to the sunshine state, for some sunshine, golf and probably lazing around the pool a bit too.

Last year I went thru WV, but I think got lucky with the good weather. I understand it can get nasty driving through there what with the highway elevation of hills and then valleys.

If that is your desire, I hope you get it. The grass well covered and the roads clear is the way I like it.

We are having thunder storms so something might blow into town.

Was just mentioning a drive thru KY in biblical style rain storm.
