Re: New member registration / administration

Its a temporary stopgap to prevent the forums from being overrun by soammers. I am sorry we arent a multi million dollar company with scores of people to save problems and keep the riff raff out. If i were to disable the phrases or similar you wouldn't have a forum to complain about. The members have been manually approved forever, with the recent bits and AI spammers it has become overwheliming to approve them in irder to keep this site 100% spam free. I am working on a few different solutions, but eveything takes lots of time to do with databases this large. This place costs more than my mortgage a month to operate, not complaining, however, i do work a full time job in order to support my family. When i have vacation time between being sick and family time i will upgrade everything. Your moral support is truly appreciated.

Additionally I cant see that stupid over the top secret code crap on this device. I guessed so many times that my blood was boiling.

Finally got to a different device that I could increase the size enough to get it right.

What is the point? To be so secure that its no longer accessible?

You can't even contact administration with out solving that ridiculous puzzle. I was a contributing member but I'm not paying to be locked out .

Just like everybody else I have online accounts with several banks, utilities, insurance you name it. I am completely paperless.

Hardest account to long onto by a country mile? The old truck forum.
