One last try to get some help on the Floating City Forums!

The spam bots are back with vengeance and the admins appear distracted. Does any have the ear of an admin they can bend till we can sort out a more permanent solution?

BUMP!

It's worse than ever right now. Faulty boards that fail on just page browsing. And spambots unchecked that are driving everyone nuts!

HHEEELLLPP!!!!!

The spam could just about be ignorable. The constant error messages meaning that you take three or more attempts to post, that and you are never sure if the last post really was the last post or indeed what are you replying to ... they erode my willingness to continue. Maybe in 94 posts' time I'll stop.

I had all but stopped, yet today I was drawn to check in once more - and got a piece of flotsam! Be still, my beating heart! :D

Seems to me that the game mechanics are still working well enough, but Pip's right that the forums have become essentially useless. I wonder how difficult it would be to export the actual content from the forums over here; I'd hate to lose some of it.
