Luftwaffe Archives and Records Group (LWAG) website possibly going down

[Richard T. Eger]

Dear All,

This is to notify you that the LWAG site (www.lwag.org) may be going down. If there is something that you were wanting to look up, I suggest you do so now.

I have lost my site's software guru and thus the site's vBulletin software has not been updated for some time. The site works through the guru's server, so updating is out of my control.

Beginning around September, the site has been the subject of numerous spam registrations. Further, it appears that the spammer has been able to change the password to the control panel, so that I can't get in there to attempt a fix.

Every time there is a registration, I get a notice by e-mail and, quite frankly, I'm tired of receiving up to 12 spam registration notices per day.

The problem has been further aggravated by issues with the company whose server the site is on. Whether these problems can be worked out is now rather debatable, as communication with them appears to have been interrupted and/or is malfunctioning.

I regret that I may have to take the site down, but enough is enough.

Regards,
Richard
