You're help is appreciated

Posted in News and Issues

Hello Dear Friends of the Front Porch.  I just want you to know what a GREAT group of people we have here on Homesteadblogger.  Really, you are super.  Lot's of great fellowship goes on here everyday. 
But... there is a problem.  Someone/or more than one wants to destroy the 'safe' place that has been created here.  They want to fill it full of filth and obscenity.  Sadly it is not enough for some to destroy their own lives with these things, they want to corrupt others. 
So I am asking for your help.  We all know that sitting in front of the computer ALL day, every day is not an option! *I* can't do it... *You* can't do it!  BUT... we are all on here at different times.  If you spy something that is NOT acceptable around here, PLEASE contact me right away!  I will contact our wonderful tech guy and we will get it done away with. 
I am so sorry for what happened this weekend.  It is sad to know that there are those out there wanting to do such things. 
I believe Homesteadblogger to be a wonderful safe haven.  Two of my children blog here.  My children have friends with blogs here. 
By working together we can keep these predators at bay. Thank you so much for contacting me this weekend.  I appreciate you all!
From My Homestead to Yours,
~Chas~

I'm a lurker (we're stuck in suburbia, so can't properly be called homesteaders), but I do enjoy this site. In fact, this site has helped me figure out how to knit socks!
I don't know what happened, but I did want to give a message of support. It seems that options for truly uplifting material is becoming limited, not just on the net, but everywhere! Please continue your service of providing practical information and do not be discouraged!

I'm not sure what happened, but I want to offer my support in any way I can!
I love this place and have learned so much just by being able to read others blogs...

I know that sometimes people get hateful comments left, but sometimes you just have to move on and ignore them. I had one that accused me of beating my grandson while we were in Colorado, but we got a good laugh and I continued to blog!

I think you are doing a wonderful job around here Chas... a wonderful job!

Thanks~
Julie
