The SWATH forums are choked with spam. I emailed stein and macahan, and both their addresses bounced. (Full inboxes, I think.)

Is SWATH kind of dead? How long has this been going on?

Looks like they've been on vacation for a while. The onslaught of forum spam began June 10 and shows no sign of stopping. Bummer...

Is there some place to still get registration keys? I paid for a key almost a week ago now and still haven't gotten any response from Stein or Macahan.

Stein and Macahan have been incommunicado since early June. I've been trying to get ahold of them about spammers taking over their forums. :(

I've talked to them and I know they're aware of the situation. I'm sure other priorities are just keeping them busy at the moment. I'm sure they'll get it under control.

Is anyone else having authentication problems with Swath? Starting yesterday I had 1 computer where authentification was denied. My second computer won't connect to either primary or secondary servers and only opens in limited mode. I still have one Swath window open on that one which will work because it was open before the server connection failures began.

I tried emailing support and the email bounced with a permanent delivery error. Their website also seems to be down.

As of Sunday 31 July, authentification server seems to be down. I have one PC that gets a denied message when authenticating. Second computer fails to connect to either primary or secondary and opens in limited mode (ie telnet only). I tried emailing support and received a bounce message with permanant delivery error. Their website is also down.

Is anyone else having issues?

Had a similar issue. Everything seems to be working fine as of a few hours ago.
