Admin nuggethunting Posted January 28, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hello All, Due to the recent spam attacks all new forum members must be validated before you can post. I will have to personally hand sort all the new memberships to keep this spam crap off the forums. Kind of sucks that new members will have to wait to be validated, but this is the only solution for now. I think this is one of the best gold forums on the Internet and I plan to keep it up and running for the better. Hope you all understand, Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let us know and there is a large number of your friends who will be glad to help you as moderators. I feel that this is your forum and we are guest!

iggy Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 RobSite was slow this morning Tuesday 1/30 but it is now almost 2PM and running fast again.To validate all new users they must name all the Minelab models and MSRP.I figure that will have them thinking a bit. Or they must know who is Grubstakes buddy.Iggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted February 5, 2007 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello Everyone, Thanks for all your patience and understanding. I believe we have taken care of all the spam with the validation process. The only problem is I have sort through all the new members, some have strange usernames so I have to guess on some. If you're trying to get onto the forums and you haven't been "validated" please email at - auplacers@yahoo.comThe slow forum issue should also be resolved since I requested to have the server moved to another one. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
