Based on my years of experience as a user of the site, I seriously doubt that this was/is the owner's intention. > Two thoughts: > > 1 - Does the owner sufficently understand the public need for high > availability of the forum's content? I am convinced that he does. The problem appears to be twofold: 1. His personal workload prevents him from giving sufficient attention to server administration and spam elimination. 2. His reluctance to accept much (if any) outside assistance. > 2 - How is the forum's content licenced? I have never found any notice on the site to indicate what the content licence is. IANAL, but the absence of such I notice and no mention of content licensing in the "Registration Agreement Terms", would lead me to believe the content is public domain, just like this email. > Nino The good news is that the site is currently accessible, albeit with the usual amount of spam adorning the main page.
