But the main problem is still alive! I've check all folders and it seems
that really the member folders are the problem, not the normal
folders with our OOoAuthors.org stuff in it.
I've crated a local copy of our content (without the user accounts and
member folders) for the worst case, the site will crash.
But I believe we had to delete the member folders soon :-(
I wonder how many active members use their personal folders. I
don't use mine (and when I tried to look at it to see if anything
was there, I got a "key error").
IIRC, we had some problems awhile ago with spammers joining up
and filling up their personal folders with junk, but I thought
that had been fixed: that only people with Author status can save
into personal folders.
I think you are right, we have to delete the member folders.
Active members should be aware there is a problem and should have
taken steps to move anything they want to keep.
