As a lot of you have probably noticed, the forums have been in sad, sad shape lately. I've been neglecting them and they've become overrun with spam and other garbage posts. I apologize for letting them get that way. But I'm going to make it a point now to keep the forums running smoothly so that people who are interested in discussion -- whether you believe in a flat earth or a round earth -- can have an intelligent discussion without interference from spammers.
To that end, I've appointed a moderator for General Discussion. He's not a believer in the Flat Earth, but he's a valued member of the forums and I'm quite happy to make him a moderator. Welcome aboard, EnragedPenguin!
Also, if anyone has suggestions for a better forums package to use, I'd be interested in hearing from you. phpBB seems to go out of its way to make it as difficult as possible to eliminate spam. A package with single-click post deleting and a delete-all-posts-by-user would be great.
