Good morning,

as you may have seen, for some time now we have been experiencing numerous SPAM attacks. This is due to the forum's CMS, which is obsolete.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to upgrade to the new version until the Aruba servers support the technical specifications required by this new CMS.

To overcome these problems and make your browsing experience increasingly smooth, we are thinking of moving to cloud services that eliminate server response times and offer performance that is certainly more powerful than that guaranteed by classic web farm hosting solutions.

We will have to evaluate the price, which should be communicated to us by the end of today.

Alternatively, if the costs were prohibitive, we will opt for another classic hosting service that supports the requirements of the latest version of the CMS.

Once the 'switchover' has been carried out, the service may not be available for a few hours to perform the various file transfers and the restoration of the new database.

We will keep you updated,

Regards

Member

Hi Simone. How did the hosting change matter turn out to defend against spam? In the meantime, could irrelevant messages be deleted? There are those trying to sell hair equipment, those redirecting to other sites of unknown reliability, etc....

Messages are deleted but not immediately, so something might remain visible for a ... variable period of time.

I confirm what Frank said, the messages are being deleted punctually. The cloud solution was impractical. Costs were definitely too high. I am looking for a hosting service that has the features we need. As soon as I have news, I will update you.
