Excellent!     Will the Descent Guides Project forum also be returning before long?

[-<WillyP>-]

That was back on some time ago. Descent Guides Project Forum - Index

It was announced here: Prepare4Descent.net Moving to Planet Descent

Excellent, WillyP!  Thank you!

WillyP,
I will fix the link inside D3Edit-Help-Menu to this new one
in the next coming D3EditAV version.
Thx for info.

[Scyphi]

Good to hear.

It might be a good idea if these were linked somewhere besides in forum threads. Maybe in the header or something, maybe a "hosted" tab like the old PD had?

Offline again, until I have a chance to upgrade it. Spammers have somehow managed to get access, and I hadn't noticed until the servers ran out of connection slots and took all my sites down. Very annoying, there's like 30,000 registered spammers on there, and nearly as many pages they created. Unfortunately WikkaWiki has a very poor user and page management systems and it will take hours of tediously deleting users 10 at a time and pages one at a time. (any volunteers? no, I didn't think so... lol)

Edit the database, don't bother with the web panel.

That was my thought also. But I'm thinking of just copying any useful pages to the article system here.

[Foil]

Ugh.  I'm sorry, WillyP.  Cleanup is annoying when it's someone else's mess, especially when they've made it at your place.

Thank you for all the work you do. 

[-<WillyP>-]

Your welcome, and thanks for the kind words.

I'm amazed that spammers will do that and still expect you to buy their company's product when they're so careless, unthinking, inconsiderate, etc... which just reflects those qualities back onto the company and their product.  If I bought something that was spammed to me for whatever reason I'd buy something that was spammed at me I wouldn't expect it to last a day.

Talk about creating negative connotations.

I have no idea what they are selling so so they haven't lost any sales from me. And it's all about getting links, which presumably bumps their search engine ratings... and people who are doing the searching, won't know about the spamming techniques.
