Tim,
This kind of state of disrepair is unacceptable. First of all, this

needs to be cleaned up ASAP. Second, all posters should require proper

login authorization and you as the maintainer should be in charge of

managing who posts what and for that reason are responsible for making

sure the site does not end-up the way it did. If this mess is not

cleaned up in a week, this sub-domain will go offline.
Best wishes,
Ico
