Title: Turned off Auto Registration Spammer Got Through
Post by: EDNY on July 27, 2019, 10:42:08 PM: I had to turn auto registration off because one of the russian spammers got in and posted some spam. Wish these idiots would get a real life.

Anyway...if you area aware of anyone wanting to register to our forum..let me know I'll do it manually until further notice.

Sorry for the mess

BTW: Learned that the reason for our previous slow or non response to our Home page was because the "Super Chevy RSS Feed" was not working and blocked the Home page. The Super Chevy website is having their own problems...I just removed their RSS feed.

Wondering if anyone really uses the Home page anyway? It has the "gallery".
