Update:

No luck at getting ahold of the current owner. He does not have his info listed so I put in a request for contact with his dns. It is just a wait and see thing currently.

Shirai, just rename this thread "General Kitty Thread (Spam free!)"

Can't do anything else really.

As long as I am in charge of these forums they will be cleaned.

Sorry for my inattention, I've been mostly out of FFXI for the past couple months (burnt out for a while, to put it short) Goldess I know moved to Alexander before I moved off of it for a bit. I just moved back, I'll see if I can contact her or Fire in-game.

EDIT: I cleaned up the Alexander forums, but unfortunately that's all I can do as well.

Just got word from Kintrra, he got in touch with Goldess and I am now Administrator of the forums.

First thing I did is make Mr. Zanovo history!
Second, clean the forums of garbage.

Back to Ouryu Cometh.
And Kintrra, THANKS!!

I know I dont post much & I only really visit once a week, but just wanted to say I greatly appreciate your efforts Shirai.

Eh, I didn't do much, just took advantage of info I could remember from a few months back. We're lucky I just transferred back to Alex as well. ^^;;

Still!!
We can enjoy the silence a bit now the pest is banned and gone.
Seriously, I really appreciate it and I'm sure others do too.

Starting next week I will look for methods to secure this forum a little more after deleting a whole lot of 0 posts users.

So am I.
It feels good not having to delete 200+ spamposts after a night of sleep.
Makes my mornings a lot better!

Congrrrats!!!!

Last update before I close this one off and probably start cleaning up some things during an odd maintainance.

-Banned several Email domains.

-Started deleting 0 post accounts, there are about 1100 of those so will take a while.

Shirai if you need some help with the 0 post account deletion, I'm available to help. Work's slowed down right now, so I can actually do it while working (I'm temp filling in as the shop accountant as our last one was fired for stealing money from our paychecks)

If you need an extra mod around to help with watching the boards or anything let me know Shirai. I help Admin two other websites for FFXI friends.

Post by **Karou Ariyen** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 4:12 am

I just wanna help any way possible

Post by **Shirai** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 7:05 am

For the deletion of accounts I would have to make you administrators.
I'm not sure I can do that.

However, I know you both have been forum regulars for a long time and trust you won't abuse any powers.

So for now I will add you both to the moderator pool.
At this moment it's kind of an easy job, but you never know when another zanovo will show.

Also hoping with the new forum setup to attract some more posters in the future.

YES! The Ultimate Power Of Odin Is MIME MUAHAHAHAHA *cough* I mean, Of course I won't go on a rampage and light cities on fire with moderator power~
