Interuption in service 28 June 24

Post by **Biff** » 28 Jun 2024, 22:05

So. My wife has a blog running off the same host as CPS. She is a luddite and doesn't take care of plugin's and things like that. Soooooo her anti-spam plugin expired and the blog became the target of spammers. 500k spam comments later & the server was out of memory, which brought EVERYTHING DOWN.

I had to go into the db on her blog and remove all comments (good & bad). All 500k of them. Sheesh. Anyway, comments were duly disabled until she get's her act together & updates her plugins. BUT that's gonna take some $$$ isn't it? Yes, yes it is. *sigh*

Anyone have winning lotto numbers?

Thanks for fixing things. The offer to kick in moolah to help run this place still stands. Just say the word.

We are glad to help with the site costs.

One time, we pitched in some cash to fund Munkey's costs for the old CPS.

That's when he retired and moved to the Bahamas.

The only way we can support Biff is by smuggling in greenbacks - maybe hidden in packages of bacon. American bacon. Electronic payments to private parties for tobacco related goods or services are prohibited in CA. Sooorry.

What tobacco? We only talk about smoking weed and crack!

Biff bans any mention of tobacco. Not safe for kids, you know.
