Been sorts tracking the new members out of curiousity, and noticed alot of strange (atleast to me) names. I just can't seem to figure out what they mean, and I don't see any posts by these recent members. Are they ficticious? Don't me to flame here----just bewildered a bit.:confused:

You noticed..... everyday, I have to delete about 70-100 new memebers. It's some kind of mass, maybe automatic spammers I think. Afew months ago it started and they posted up threads containing porn and other BS. So I had to activate the software to prevent new members from posting until I approved them. So thats what I have to do every morning or so... It sucks, but I don't know how else to stop it. You'll notice somedays the member number will be over 550-600, then I delete em and it's back down to 499 as of this morning.. if anyone has any good ideas... I'm all eyes...
Happy Holidays,

Happy Holidays,

I'm not sure how your registration is configured, but maybe you could have a requirement that a vehicle type must be entered. This might eliminate none enthusiasts from registering----------Just thinking as I stack the presents under our tree! Good morning, and MERRY CHRISTMAS :):):)
