Two Forks Forge Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Hello All, Seems I signed up ten years ago and then forgot about my membership. I was reawakened when I received a spam message from the site. It seems a young lady wanted to share her site. Spam, ya gotta love it (sarcasm). I have been part time smithing for almost 25 years. Specialize in re-enacting camp gear, especially steel strikers. Looking forward to learning more and contributing to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Haha, Welcome back. Would love to see some of what you've been making. I got a spam message like that yesterday or today. Careful, if that's what it takes to bring members back some might wear tutus or loincloths and send provocative messages to inactive members threatening to send photos....

SLAG Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Mr. T. Forks, Welcome. Missouri is a fairly large state. (area -wise). Are you in St. Louis, Kansas City, Rolla, Hannibal? or elsewhere. Just curious. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Daswulf, that reminds me of one of my bits of advice for new parents, new parents here take note: Take embarrassing photos of your children when they are young so theat you have some bargaining chips when they get older, e.g. "Be home by midnight or this goes up on Tik Tok at 12:01." or "Don't do X or your girl/boy friend gets an 8x10 glossy of this one." "By hammer and hand all arts do stand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Haha George, no worries on my part. I've taken both cute and embarassable photos/ videos of my girls since their births. I find them all pretty cute but to a pre teen/teen... yeah. I'm locked and loaded. My oldest is 3 1/2 so plenty of time for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I got my message thru a PM, and was alerted thru my email contact info. She certainly had some interesting suggestions. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Now I feel slighted, haven't received any PM's from her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Unfortunately it didn't go away and I can't seem to figure how to delete the message using ifi on my android phone. If you really want the link Ill forward it to you but I sure won't click on it or go there I am kidding about forwarding the spammy link. I don't click on anything fishy nor do I trust much of anything online. I get so much spam mail from my stagnant website it can be unreal at times.

Glenn Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The spam issue has been addressed. A couple of duplicate memberships were found and addressed in the process. Thanks to all that made reports. It helps us catch things early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 2 Forks do you do Y1K re-enactment or are you doing Roman? (The Deutsches Klingen Museum in Solingen has a lot of nice Roman stuff to do replicas of!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
