• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sorry about the spammers

The site has been hit hard with spammers and I do have hoops they have to jump through but they're getting better at it so I'm counting on you guys to report the post when you see one. NEVER click on the links. The good thing is when you report them I can purge them and their IP from the site. Thanks for your help on this. :thumbup:
 
Self Policing

To protect ourselves from the spammers, we should form the ASS-M (Anti Spam Spyder Militia). :doorag:

I'll say you are doing a pretty good job of keeping them off, or at least getting them off as soon as they show up. :thumbup: I don't recall seeing an outright spam post here at all. But then I don't read every new post either.
 
:agree: The title for their threads is usually designed to make you want to take a peek...
They'll usually be something like: "You won't believe this!"
None of them ever seem to be relating to Spyders.
They're also usually seen in the Off-Topic area.
 
But you ARE correct... :opps:
Just joking, Bob. You contribute many good posts. Don't take me seriously.

For one, I have never seen a spam post in here. And in all honesty, I got so tired of social media, that I have deleted all accounts except for SL. So thanks Lamont for being vigilant.
 
All I have seen that looks odd is all the bacon threads. I think its all Bobs fault though.:doorag:
 
Good Job!

I am on many times a day checking in and I don't ever see any spam. In fact, this is the cleanest spam-free board I am on. Good job, Lamont for giving us a decent place to congregate and make our machines better!
 
I've only been on here for a couple weeks and already reported a couple to the chief cook and bottle washer.
Sheeesh, it's bad in here:rolleyes:
