As most of our readers know, the various SOTN websites have been plagued by a whole host of issues over the years going back to 2008.

This current active SOTN site is no different.  The cybersecurity problems alone are especially difficult to resolve particularly when they may originate with the “Website Security, Protection & Monitoring” software company itself.

Isn’t that why the entire cybersecurity industry was established in the first place: to give those dodgy companies a wide open back door to the entire platform?

In any event, SOTN does not have the wherewithal or the time to remove the present website security regime, which was prepaid for years to come, from all of our sites.  Nor do we possess the funds to purchase a new cybersecurity package from a trusted provider.

Therefore, we are at the mercy of our current cybersecurity software company.  Which means that posting on the home page will be unpredictable and sporadic going forward.

Thanking everyone for their understanding and patience.
