Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.

It is my understanding that VEI may be changing website servers,
which would affect the availability of pages during the changeover.

Once the changeover completes, I would assume everything will be back as it was.

Why would anyone log in from the VEI side? :lol:

I can delete the spam accounts, but they are still getting in on that side.
(They can't post obviously, but they're listed in the memberlist.)

I hope to have access to shut the door on spammers on the VEI side at some point,
or VEI's development team can do it... same result.

It's not very high on their priority list, I suppose.

Doesn't matter to me... it only makes VEI look bad, and they have people for that kind of stuff. (Not me.) :thumb:
