Up and down and I think I know why

[Jeff]

Our visits last week were an all time high, but posting was way down. I think its cause of the Tom and Jeff take a walk on the green side thread in forestry and logging.

Let's see . . . ground has finally been firm enough to get something done around the property,  been working on taxes :(,  weather got real cold and firewood stack got real small, the FF site slowed to a crawl this morning,  just ain't had a whole lot to say lately.  I certainly haven't had time to surf other sites : :P

I went over there and read most of the posts.  I never did post anything because you can't talk to people with closed minds.  It's kind of like banging you head against a brick wall, it feels so good when you stop ;D  Besides I think you guys made plenty of good points and didn't need any help.

Noble_ma, I've read a number of your posts and you seem very open minded to me :D :D :D

Additionally, all of our upstream providers are blocking the offending IP addresses and are capturing log information and have sent those to the FBI for prosecution. We apologize for ANY AND ALL inconveniences this may have caused you. We are working around the clock to stop, catch, and prosecute the offending attacker(s).

[Jeff]

We run a couple of secure servers for our web sites and have been having tons of problems with hackers trying to get into our system lately. Probably 15-20% of our reqests are hackers. Keeping them blocked has gotten to be a pain in the a**. Seems that south of us is having the most problems. A couple of big routers have been running slow and a couple denial of service attacks on a couple of others. Makes a person a little paranoid at times.
