Since the owner of the site was unable to raise the money he requested to keep it going, does anyone else think he has purposely abandoned it?

Ya, I think that's a legitimate issue. It sounded like he was paying out of pocket to run the site. After years of spending money and countless hours running this site, and then not being able to raise enough money from the thousands of members here, I don't really blame him for checking out a bit. I'd probably be pissed after that.
Anyway - I wonder if he'd be willing to sell this site. I also wonder if there are more creative ways of monetizing the site. Seriously, is there a way we can make each new member pay $1 to join?

Someone has to have contact information for John Hammell. Someone has to know what is going on IMO.
It seems to me that the respectful thing to do if John no longer wishes to continue is to simply acknowledge that fact and shut the place down.
As for me, I'm gone, baby, gone. Ain't got time for this. See ya, guys.

What the heck happened that Tinydancer got banned?? I am assuming that it was a mistake in trying to clean up the latest spam attack?

I'm going to recommend Reddit again as a great place to talk about Greek Life. It's a well moderated site and it's easy to create new subreddits.

I accidentally got banned during a spam cleanup, but it got fixed.

So did I! You can imagine my surprise when I logged on to a message that I had been banned forever for an unstated reason.

Wow -- in 6 minutes, over 30 new spam posts!
I wish there was a limit to how many new threads you could start in a day for new members. If there was a limit of, for example, 2 a day (especially for people who have been a member for less than a month), I think it would deter the spammers from coming back and clogging up the board. The mods would have time to BAN a spammer and they'd have to re-register as new member, then have a 2 thread a day limit again. The cycle would continue until the spammers realize posting here is a waste of their time.
