Speaking for myself (DK), I have been in and out for the last 2 months, with 2 vacays and also with a big case of (flu?) that I am just now getting over, seemed to last forever!

Today I am goingi to be working on some parts of the website that I need to update. One is to fix a feature to set a ban on IPs that seek to spam the site. I did a temporary fix a couple of months ago but want to solidify this today. What happens when a bot spams the site is that it incredibly slows down, thus affecting performance. I want to list the IPs that are doing this and ban them from further disruption, so this is a priority for today. At the point the spam is handled, will be opening up some features that I tied to being logged in in order to deter the spammers. Therefore, you may encounter, today, a gllitch or two

Also, I am going to, this week, work on a bug where the forum replies time out if someone takes too long to answer (for example, you start writing something and then you go away). Basically, going to warn you that you need to save and finish, hope to have this done by end of week.
And of course, will be catching up to the people who have written in.
