As the joint founder and present owner of this forum I want to give members the truth about recent events.
For ten years or so the forum ran very smoothly. There was only ever one password.
About six months ago, because of advancing age, I began to look into handing the administrative tasks to others. I approached eight members who seemed the most reliable types and the most frequent posters. Each of them refused to take up the task, giving various reasons for their refusal.
I was nevertheless obliged to give up active administration for a short time, but I left the system password with all eight members, for use if any emergency arose. I heard nothing more from any of them.
When I recovered I found that member Dundonnell had assumed the administrative role, without telling me. In many posts he referred to himself as "the administrator of this forum".
I let that situation continue until he began arbitrarily to threaten the deletion of posts by all and sundry for incomprehensible reasons.
At that point I decided he was not suitable for the administrative task, and I resumed the role myself. I informed all members of what I had done and of the reason for it. And to avoid confusion I assigned a new, simple password to the administraor's account. All went well for a few days.
Then, lo and behold, some hacker took over the administrative account, and Dundonnell began posting as though he were still administring our forum.
I have asked him to tell me who hacked the administrator account, what the pirate password is, and who else (if any one) knows it. But so far he has refused to say.
The fact is, that Dundonnell was dismissed as administrator on 28th September 2018 because of his unsuitability for the role. He has had no legitimate administrative role at this forum since 28th September 2018.
I solemnly affirm the truth of every word I have written in this posting.
