Why on earth do I need to suddenly enter a stupid phrase I can barely read to make a post????

What possible purpose could this serve except to annoy people.???

Im surprised there arent more complaints!

3x tried to post this, I wouldnt mind it so much if I COULD READ THE DANG THING.

Im not one to usually complain but this really is bad. I noticed the posts are way down since today..wonder why?

This isn't a super busy site but its been dead all day...i have never seen a spam post on here. Whats the point other than to drive people away, took me five trys to post a thread earlier, I refreshed the captcha box to get new words I couldn't figure it out. This sucks!

The captcha code for posting will be removed very soon, and I am sorry for the issues. It will only remain for those creating a new account to stop hundreds of spammers daily.

Good thing it was fixed before you got here. The youngun's could barely read them. All you old farts damn sure didn't stand a chance. :D

I've been pushing for the automated registration and they finally got it, but the feller doing the work made it do the forum as well which did suck I bet!

Now, even those with gmail accounts can register instantly. I know I had to have them turned off due to the incredibly high number of spambots using the gmail.....it was a wee bit crazy!

So Ken, you mean I can actually use my gmail account now as my email...FINALLY????

edit: hallelujah it works!

Yup

When gmail got hacked, spambots were creating new members by the hundreds. Since the site was still using manual activation (namely me) we had no choice but to demand gmail be barred. You would complete 100 members and refresh and another 100 were there waiting LOL.

It sucked for all involved, but not in my hands. I am just glad they finally have it fixed and rolling along.

Brimstone then back to the GNCC series so I am booked it seems.

Cody is doing great, getting ready for boot camp.

We have all been working so much there hasn't been time to play on the forums LOL! I have been covering both the MX and GNCC's (Bikes too) so my workload has been a bit busier this season!
