Well, you might have noticed, you might have not, some of you did because you thought I might have dropped off the face of the earth...
Anyway...for the past four days, my site has been down...actually, it has been locked by my host. After no communication from them and lots of attempts on my part I finally got an e-mail today and as you see, I'm back up.
What was the problem? My feedback form was being used by spammers because the script I was using on it was not secure. Well, I've decided to take Darryl's example and use a much more simple format to have people feedback...no more forms, just e-mail or snail mail me.
As Darryl has said...for a few days I was a spammer...at least in the mind of my host...not fun for me that's for sure. When they finally unlocked my system...to rub salt on the wound...I'd also been spammed.
Sometimes, you just have to let it go.
Once again...I've learned the lesson, when you get something for free, in this case, the hosting of this site, you pay for the support you're going to get. Which in this case was absolutely zero.
I understand they're trying to make sure they keep the spammers away...but couldn't they have told me?
Oh well, it's still free hosting.
Posted by ed...as I subscribe to you RSS feed, everytime I tried to read the page my browser would lock up... so yes I noticed your absence!
Indeed you can't get to upset with free. Glad your back!
Glad to have you back brother.
