Oh never mind?

I donno who Emily Litella is. Another character from Vonnegut? Hmmm..

But Oh never mind?

I've spent quite a bit of time on here today trying to explain to you and quell your fears about getting hacked again.

I have a work deadline to meet today but have still stopped by here several times to type lengthy posts because your posts are insinuating that the site is about to get hacked and that's just not the case. I really do not think that's happening and I don't want others to think that so I've been trying to explain what DID happen during the hack that happened back in September ..... compared to what is happening NOW!

I can't "oh never mind" it.

It's important that everybody realizes that the software we are running should NOT be vulnerable to a hack like the hack that happened in September.

We're only trying to get it so REAL people register here not bogus names which are bots coming here to advertise their wares.

Whew.

If I thought your posts were something unnecessary to address, I wouldn't be addressing them.

But they are necessary for me to address because you have this mindset that the site is about to be hacked and it is being done by PEOPLE... neither of which are the case.

Please don't "oh never mind" me.

Thanks!

All that said, Still -

We sure don't wanna get hacked again, of course! And we are doing everything we can to get our software updated to the most recent versions which will help even more to protect us from the potential. AND I really DO appreciate your concerns about the site a LOT! Thank you!

that amazes me that a bot can do all that, can sniff out a website and then post a profile.

What a world, what a world. I am clueless.

I suppose if i clicked on the link it would redirect me to a website, called Looking For Sex Partners in San Antonio.

It's a bot.

People write the profiles... most of them say the same thing... People write scripts... the scripts are for the purpose of penetrating websites like this one to register bogus names and put links.

They are bots which are created by people who are writing computer programs. Scripts.

It's all automated.

And now it's one of approx 15 bots I deleted today.

Gone.
