C-R-M - what happened?

Gordon McComb discontinued it after the Sporge attack subsided. The alternative forum never really did that well anyway.

Thanks. Splinter forums never seem to do very well, it seems to me.

I often wonder what the long term future of these groups will be. Many other groups I tune into, have similar problems.

aus.electronics is being flooded by some spudley character!

Dan, If you read everything I've said about the forum it was never meant to be a splinter. It was always intended to be a temporary home until the splorge died down. I was quite specific about that. The splorge pretty much ended and the forum served its purpose of providing some continuity. And for a month I closed the forum to new posted, wrote why, and directed people back here. Then just last week I dumped the database to free up resources for my other stuff.

I am very sorry to hear that. This means that the Sporge attack has not been stopped. Either there are multiple attackers and only some have been stopped, or the attacker simply shifted the attack to different newsgroups. Regardless, this means we could see the attack here on C-R-M again in the future.

I've tried many times to find a news source regarding Sporge attacks, and what may be possible to stop it. But, I can't find any. Is there any good source for Internet related news?

Dumped the database?
