As discussed elsewhere previously, 'Jedi Master Spock' had been looking to get away from maintaining this site and this board. Technical issues and moderation problems in an age of incessant spambots have resulted in this latest restored backup you're seeing now.
I was and am loathe to see all the history just disappear, but scarcely have any time anymore for lengthy hobby activities . . . posting would be bad enough, but moderating and maintaining, too? With my own lack of time and distractions, I was even failing to coordinate a handoff or other orderly archival, and JMS was rightly going to merely shut it all down. I've jumped in to avoid that temporarily in the hopes of finding a long-term solution that keeps the posts available and accessible but the spambots and hackers at bay. However, for now, the simplest solution was to lock everything down as much as possible.
I believe PMs are still available for established users, so feel free to reach out. Reddit users can also pop over to https://www.reddit.com/r/STvSW/ to check in, or e-mail me . . . it's g2k at my website.
I'll post more information as available.
Thanks again to all, especially JMS, plus Mike D. and Trinoya, for the twenty years of amusement, bemusement, amazement, and astonishment that these Versus Debates could bring, and the work they did to keep things going.
To everyone, "here's to ya, lads."
