I got notification of your post GhostMiner, but the forum just seem to be acting kind of funky today.

Yes, we are back in business!

Yippee!! FMDF is back up and running! Cause is still being investigated.

Yes, and it is still down this morning?!?

Hope this is the place and OK to post here. Some of you are also on The Friendly Metal Detecting Forum. If so you have no doubt noticed we have been off line since early Monday. Rest assured we are working the problem!

He knew his business that is for sure! Thanks for that story!

Wow! Thanks for sharing that experience. As you sad, it really is a small world!

Just came across this on Stout's Standard Blog... https://stoutstandards.wordpress.com/2024/01/18/a-montage-of-emotions/#more-51626

Good catch Seabee!

Save your money, there are scams all over the Internet!

Yes, turn them. May help solve a old crime!

Thanks for the info Steve!

Yes I have and he said Wally will get back to me.

If this is out of line Steve, please just remove it. While I enjoy the knowledge and information provided on the Dankowski Forum I may be down over there as I continually am having log in issues. Anyone else experiencing this? I use Apple devices...iMac, iPad & iPhone. Having issue on both desktop and iOS devises.

For me, the sad part in all this, it is the End User, those who swing the detectors that are the real losers!

Thanks for keeping this forum free of scammers Steve!

Very True! My "radar" will go off, but I would need to be sure before calling out somebody of faking a find. I just stay away from FB detecting pages and You Tube to lessen the problem!

Those are all good links for weeding out spammers! We use them all over at FMDF.

Thanks for sharing, good read!!

I am on enough detecting forums to "smell" win a post seems off. It can be really frustrating and time consuming to have to monitor some of these yahoos!

This sounds like a reasonable way to handle this problem! Just wondering Steve, do you have to run this forum all by yourself or do you have some Admins and/or Moderators to help? It can be a big job!

Steve, thanks for putting your members first and involving us in your decision process!! PS:There is a special place in Hell for Spammers!!

Welcome page The link above will take you to a message from the owner of FMDF

Below is an update on the restoration work for FMDF: Good news is they attached the old harddrive to the new server so I can copy files. Which I'm doing now and it is a lot faster vs me coping files from my backup. I might have a temporary page in place informing members of what happen, maybe today. The server guys are pointing the domain name to the new server. At this rate we might be up and running this weekend/early next week! Vlad

Won't see any from me but Tom_CA did well!
