It rather reflects me.

Old and tired... but still here. Just.

What's going on then? Nothing it seems. Shame, I had a lot of fun here (and I still have a load of TriTalk tops to use Smile

).

Spammers every three or four days, every other day clear out the obvious morons trying to sign up to spam only to find they can register but cannot post.

Its a lot quieter these days as most of India, Bangladesh, China, Nauru and Australia (sorry about that) are iP block banned.

Even updating to 8 higher versions on PHP BB would be an improvement, but unless Gateth lets it happen we are stuck.

As an IT numpty. I never knew the hassle & faff these spammers cause.

I've found TriTalk to be as excellent resource, particularly in my early days. I still use it as an impartial source of info, both tri & non-tri related.

I'd like to see it continue (despite Fakebook & social media etc).
Is there any possibility to gather small donations to contribute? Bevan & Jon are the Kiwi guys who do the IM Talk podcast (freebie & excellent b.t.w.) http://www.imtalk.me/ They were able to get around the problem of their podcast service moving from free (both having fulltime jobs outside of podcasting) to accepting donations as sponsors etc. I'm not sure of the process, but could this be an avenue to explore & maintain the future of TT ?

Thanks as always to the relentless work of the TT mods & site admin etc.
Cheers
Bri
