Hey Everybody,
    This week has been hell for me with GP.   Cry This site is under attack by spammers a lot, but nothing like I had this past week.  We had 1271 ficticious member accounts created!  Luckily they were all banned, and could not post for the most part.  But I pride myself on keeping this site free of crap.  I tried everything I could to stop these malicious bots, but it took a report to the offender's service provider to stop the barrage of fake accounts.  Admittedly I have a few issues I need to take care of with the site, I just can't find anyone that I trust to do the work.  If any of you know someone that is good with php code, please have them contact me ASAP!  It's really hard for me to work on content for the site, when I'm spending my time on security issues.  I am open to any suggestions as to where I can locate a contract coder to implement my needed changes.  I could do it, but it would literally take me a month of work! 
Happy New Year!

Thanks!
Scott Faivre

Well, I'm back from Texas and had a few moments to solve the problem with the spam bots.  It took a little bit of research, but it seems that implementing the new code into some of the existing files was actually pretty simple.  We'll see how long this lasts...  Roll Eyes  I swear, some people have too much time on their hands and just cause issues for the rest of us.  Undecided

Hi Scott,

I sent you an email regarding an issue I came across here.

Anyway, if you are looking to hire someone to do work on your forum, then I can help you out. I know smf pretty well and you know the link to my profile there.  You can check my rep and standing at the smf community anytime.

Let me know if you want to hire me.

Have a nice week-end,
