Bots, mostly. Search engines.

It's disgusting to me all the people out there with nothing better to do than try to scam people or just try to flood the forum to ruin it "for fun".

As to finding another host, that's up to Lynn to decide, since I'm not the one paying!

However, there was no user name for the message and when I went to the topic thread the message was not there.

Just mentioning this in case it helps anyone. If you are looking for a missing message you might try searching for some text and see if it finds it. It might be missing in the thread but if there was something brilliant you wanted to get back you might be able to find the text and copy and paste it to a local file.

I discovered that some text could be found--I searched for "southern Sweden" which was in a post about Max von Sydow--but I couldn't get from the entry in the search to the actual post. My name had been removed from the post, and I couldn't jump to the post. I could get to the thread, which I had started, but my post was not there. Any ideas about how to proceed? Thank you very much for this suggestion.

Thanks for sharing that. Maybe they are floating in the ether somewhere...
