Please don't worry about it, but it is likely that we'll make some changes along the way. One likely one is to separate notes about the cams themselves from more casual chat activity, saying hi and hanging out and that kind of thing. We're not going to remove any functionality, b...

Hi guys. Yeah, please don't worry too much. Most often there's nothing fishy going on. We have had absolutely no signs that anybody has hacked anything as far as this site goes. We are, however, paying more attention to comments now. In part because we discovered that rather lar...

Each time that I've taken my concerns to the admin here, they have responded promptly, sometimes within minutes.I've been quite worried about some comments, but I've decided not to let certain people spoil a great thing. I've made sure my computer has security on it, but made a d...

Hi Jules, lizardmomma and all. I saw the 2 comments on Chip-Chan and Susan's cams and was very pleased that they were removed promptly. I know that at least 2 of Dona's comments that disappeared were not one worders. I'd asked her something and she had replied. I answered her an...

Hi Dona, MD, lizardmomma, Homely, Brianna and everyone else. I had a word with Flemming and Pat earlier today, I also put in a complaint about very personal/racist comments which Flemming and Pat have very promptly removed. They have been removing comments as they have huge amou...

Oh My Goodness--what is going on here! I too am very nervous about all this. I can't believe how wrong things can go with something so harmless as our communications. You are my friends, even tho we shall never meet, it's such a comfort to have you all just a click away. So sad t...

I think it's all great! And Susan, I'm glad you're OK with it all, when I come here, it feels like saying Hi to someone I don't even know, but feel associated with. And so many other people stop by, it's like saying Hi tho them too. Well, it's crazy, but in a good way. As long as...

Hi Flemming Funch. Thank you for deleting those last 2 comments so promptly. I'm an absolute computer novice and don't mind admitting I'm blinded by science. Are we safe on Opentopia in view of what has happened to Dona, 17196? Please read her comments on 10/04/13. I don't think...

Everybody, please remember to be respectful to other people who're here, and to the folks who might be on the other side of the screen. We (the admins) are going to start being more proactive about that. Abusive messages are likely to be deleted.

I'm chuckling about the well-meaning folks who try to alert you and who don't get the reaction they were looking for. :-)

Gang!!! I just got an email from someone pointing out that my camera is visible to everyone in the world via opentopia. Her tone indicated that I should be horrified. And I was - horrified that it has been so long since I've checked in here!! Hi everyone and especially t...

Konnichiwa! It's raining there in Gifu and it's raining here in Missouri, USA too. We are expected to get strong storms and possibly hail tonight. Hope it stays just a rainy day there. I love watching the sun come up in the mornings there on some of the other cams. If only I coul...

Hi Dona - you might also consider seeking advice from the police if you are being targeted by a malicious hacker - they have experts who deal with this type of "cyber stalking" - just a thought. It's also always worth making sure you have some decent virus protection on your co...

Hi Dona, I'm terribly sorry that you've had to put up with this stress and anxiety. I have kept from commenting on this website recently because of a situation with my brother who had his facebook account hacked and malicious comments included supposedly from him, but actually fr...

Dona I am devastated. I'm so upset to lose you. I think you would still be able to look in but not comment but I'd find that very difficult. Maybe you could come back as someone else? I'll keep looking at Tybee but it won't be the same without your "smile Dona" comments. I hope y...

I lived in Frejus-St Raphael for 6 years and then, from 2002 to 2009, in Port Grimaud. It truly is a beautiful part of the world. And like you, I went camping there in the 70's when they were still building Port Grimaud. MD

Hi Mira Bilis. I don't think so but it's not often that we get a nasty person on here. I've only been looking at Opentopia for the last year but I did read the early comments on The Bench. Some really odd people back then. Happily they seem to have moved on. MD
