I've been keeping an eye on users logged in to see if I can detect potential spammers. Many of the names are familiar and even ones I don't recognise have membership of the forum of 8 years or more. I'm coming up to 18 years. Lots of water under the bridge in that time. Indeed feeling the passage of time.

We are all "hiding" this way. I was referring to not showing up on this forum? So where are you hiding from the forum??

There seems to be more activity from the spammers in the past few days.
Perhaps more regular visits from all the mods? |

More spam messages in percentage terms, not in absolute numbers, I think.

The problem is compounded by the length of time it takes for a spam post to be removed.
This year, we have had 3 out of 13 mods active on the forum, but if Australia based JeffK (Hi Jeff, I see you're online!) is not online we are waiting until later in the day when USA based mods decide to visit the forum. |

I have been trying to be a bit more effective lately. I may look as though I'm online but I'm actually away from my logged in laptop. I notice that much of the spam appears in the early afternoon my time so I'm a bit more careful when that happens.

Wow, it's been years!
I couldn't have stumbled upon this thread at a more appropriate time. I created an account on EMD quite a few years back, and while I did make a couple of posts back then, I haven't been active on the forum at all over the past years.
Interestingly, I've visited EMD every now and then ever since I made an account here. So 2-3 days back, I decided to log in. I wasn't even sure if I remembered the password to my account, and the email account I used has now been deleted by me. But I did try logging in and voila! Here I am, making this post. I checked my message list, and the oldest conversation I took part in on EMD dates back to 2011. It's really amazing, logging in after all these years. Time indeed flies, my fellow forum members. To me, EMD is (and always will be) the best place to know any and everything about email. And even though I'm not sure if I'll get back to posting actively here, I'll always have fond memories of this place. I love email; I have always preferred it over crap like Facebook and WhatsApp, and I hope it stays forever. Because as long as there is Email, there will be EMD. Take care everyone, and stay safe! |
