This is so frustrating! Not even because us regulars have to dig through it all, but because it's probably keeping away a lot of PNMs who are looking for valuable information and advice.
ETA: And now 200-300? Uggghhhhh

I completely agree.

I guess the super mods aren't able to block individual users or IP addresses? It would be really helpful if they could do that instead of having to manually move threads.

It's taking up the entire first page again!!! Ahhhhhh!!!
John, are you out there?!
I don't know if anyone has some insider information regarding his whereabouts, but I'm honestly a little worried.
I know others have been on this site for twice as long as I have, so I'm not sure if John has disappeared like this in the past. But if he hasn't, in my opinion, it's now a little concerning...

I'm going to look into it after I get some sleep. Assuming he isn't incapacitated, I think taking our money back is the only way we'll get him to pay attention.

I am really starting to think that something bad has happened to John. I just can't believe that he would let this happen to GC if he could help it. He has done a LOT for this board for many, many years. Something serious must be going on. I just wish that he had trusted one of the super mods with the authority to take over all functions, in the event that he was unable to manage the board.

In the mean time I am just left wondering about the booming Greek life in Dubai and Kuwait....

I hate that some of the spam is about Oakley sunglasses. The dad of 1 of our UCLA members is an executive there. Cool factory, though -- very "Metropolis".

Did some threads get deleted? I can't seem to find the 2015/2016 Expansion thread.

Even the thread with the inquiry that was just made about the 2015/16 expansion thread that you replied to has just disappeared.

It was accidentally deleted during a spam ban. It's been restored.
So, in the barrage of spam recently, the mods (myself included) have been on a mission of trying to keep the boards clean for everyone. For those of you new to GC, moderating is on a volunteer basis. No one is paid for the TIME it takes to clean this stuff. We are doing what we we can (from all corners of the world might I add) as quickly as we can. Please help us by continuing to report the spam as it comes in.
Oh, and in during the process of cleaning spam, sometimes a "real thread"
might get caught in the process. Just let us know and we'll fix it.
BTW, this is not a rant or "bitchfest" but folks need to know.
*Now back to your regularly scheduled program*

I just found an obituary online from mid-July that may (or may not) be an indication of why John has been MIA. Its definitely not HIS but possibly a close family member.
The timing makes sense and the surviving relatives list include a John Hammell... :-(

The full page now, in less than half an hour I don't get why they bother, why not go to a busier board?
