 What's going on with SWATH?
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?

 Re: What's going on with SWATH?
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...

 Re: What's going on with SWATH?
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.

 Re: What's going on with SWATH?
Stein and Macahan have been incommunicado since early June. I've been trying to get ahold of them about spammers taking over their forums.

 Re: What's going on with SWATH?
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.

 Re: What's going on with SWATH?
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.

 Re: What's going on with SWATH?
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?
