Hello everyone, my name's Kostas. I've danced Lindy before and am delighted to have found out about Athens Swing Cats. I will be in class on Saturday, refreshing my rusty moves. I just wanted to point out the obvious, that there's a offputting spam problem in this forum. Is there someone responsible for moderating the forum? I think that the spam topics should be deleted quickly because they must definetly discourage people from joining the forum. I would volunteer to do it myself, but I'm such a newcomer that perhaps someone else would be more in line for the task.

Thanks,
Kostas Koukopoulos

Hi Kostas,

Thanks for joining the community, it is always great to meet other Greek Lindy Hoppers. We look forward to welcoming you in person on Saturday.

About The Spam :

I apologize to anyone who saw the spam messages, they were posted last night at about 2-3am, and this is the first time I have checked the forum today, but I deleted them as soon as I saw them. I will watch carefully for any more spam, and if the problem continues, I will tighten the security on the forum.

Ben.

Hi Kostas,

and welcome to the forum  Smiley

As it is said in Greek: mas epniasan ston upno!

They've sent the spam during very early morning hours (or late evening hours...depends on each individual's sleeping pattern!) and so we couldn't have known early enough.

Many thanks anyway.

If you do go to the gig, have a good time, and let us know how it was.

Some of us will not be able to attend, because we have practice/rehearsal tomorrow night : http://www.athensswingcats.com/forum/index.php/topic,43.0.html .

Its such an amazing feeling...Swing has brought all of us together...and we do share so many things in common.

Thanks for the link, I ended up watching Monty Python sketches for about 30 minutes after watching that.  Grin
