Sorry for the short outage

[Freebird]

If you didn't know, the site was down for a short while today.  I am still fighting spammers though I have managed to block the majority before they ever post..  Since the first or middle of July, I have caught and banned over 2000 spammers from the site. Many of them are coming from China, India, and Russia.  The reason for the short outage today is that I tried some new software that would block those countries but unfortunately, it caused other issues.  So, I had to remove it but have now come up with another solution and hopefully they are now blocked.  I will have to keep a close watch and see if there are also other countries that need to be blocked.  It's a shame because very rarely  there is a real rider from one of these countries but unfortunately there are way too many spammers there to make the very occasional member worth the risk.
