My couple-of-months long experiment with phpBB to create a community application for exchange of information is being abandoned. I had a few legitimate users, about what I expected for this type of software. But the site was quickly being overwhelmed by spammers attempting to join so they could market their various products. I had the site set to approve users, so I could catch them all, but the “maintenance” function was taking way too much time. Consequently the forum has been abandoned, and the files will be deleted. Of course, this blog will remain, as well as the other features of my site at www.greencity.org.
