Or maybe we could play delete the spammer

I'd say blow up their PC while they are spamming...

Lets build a Linux CNC spam hunt-and-destroy robot that does just that.

Back on topic I've been learning the old Jekyll stuff and think I can build us something in that. I'll mock something up and get feedback on that.

Please do.
Thank you.

Do you know why Jekyll was chosen? It seems for a static site it would have been easier to just use HTML in dreamweaver or something like that? Are there any particular features that Jekyll has that I'm overlooking?

I did not like dreamweaver when it was first released, i am sure i will not like it now, it puts to much crap that does nothing there.
For HTML nothing better than a plain and simple text editor. For PHP also. It's been nearly 20 years since i did that, maybe things have changed. And i am sure that almost all new web creation software will put some kind of tracker or back door there.

Yeah I use various tools to do it, some are loaded with bloatware, others not so.

Jekyll just seems to be a layer in between the HTML that complicates things for a site this small. It’s main features seem to be creating templates for your sites, which if updated often, could be useful. It also adds a bit of blog functionality and other stuff but it doesn’t look like the site uses that.
It’s just pondering a from my side to see if any one would mind going pure html? You need that to design the pages in Jekyll if you want anything that looks not like what we have now?
