I keep scratching my head and thinking "there's got to be a better way to handle this" (the spam issue) but I'm not a computer guy and I don't know what the answer is.

Believe me, it's as frustrating to the mods as it is to y'all. And it can be very time consuming.

I don't know what the future of this site is . But I try to help at whatever level I can. There are allot of knowledgeable members (including some mods) that rarely post anymore, even though they regularly sign in.

I'd like to think that if all the "regulars" would just start posting regularly again then the forum would be busier and allot of the issues would straighten themselves out . But that's probably just dreaming.

My guess is that the spam hasn't increased so much so as the posts have decreased. Ten years ago there were new posts coming up faster than you could read them and refresh your page.


​​​​​​ Now we might see 5 new posts a day sometimes. Because of that... the 3-8 new spammers each night are allot more noticeable because they outnumber the real posts .

As always, I'm always open to suggestions. Pm me anytime.
