Well, it’s official. I’ve closed the phpBB forum portion of the Scent Forum site. It never seemed to gain much momentum and wasn’t one of the more popular parts of the Scent Forum website. Unfortunately, I never seemed to have time in my schedule to work on adding new posts or to build a community, so I blame myself for the non success of the forum.

In addition, during the past month or so, spammers began mercilessly spamming the forum, and it became hard to keep up with deleting the spam posts and maintaining the joint registration system. If you have registered on the site within the past month or so, you may have noticed some issues with logging into your account. If this is the case, I apologize.  I tried to keep everything straight, but spam accounts were registered at such a pace that it was difficult to prune out the bad accounts, which sometimes overwrote good accounts. The registration system should be good to go now, so if you had any problems you can register a new account and shouldn’t have any problems.

Supplier News Blog

I’ve also decided to dedicate this blog portion of the site to community news and announcements, instead of using it to post supplier sales and specials. I would’ve loved to have kept up the sale and special postings, but again it was just too time intensive for my schedule. In the near future, I’m hoping to provide a more automated means for suppliers and site visitors to post sales.

Once these changes are made, my goal is to concentrate more on the core of the site, which is adding new fragrance oils and fragrance oil information to the Scent Forum site. Keep those reviews coming!
