Plenty of people out there wanting to join the forum, but the registration issues keep them at bay - and make the forum not seem like it’s worth the time and knowledge for a new enthusiast.

Let's add it to the list alongside...

- Bad certs (very unsafe)
- Outdated vbulletin software (sec warning)
- A single Admin trying to manage everything
- Failure to update premium memberships in timely manners

AK better get on the stick. :shakes head:

We need more folks for the tong.

Trips 02-03-2021 08:20 PM

I've notified AK.

Thanks for bringing this into attention. I have turned keycaptcha off and went back to Q and A system (temporarily) while I work on keycapcha or a better system. You should be able to register fine.

Keycapcha is one of the few "oem" verifications that comes with the vb. I still have 5 more spam block type "add on" that should tackle the russian hackers! :) Thanks op for reporting as this kind of things are hard to know as there is no red flag that it wasn't working.

:tup: We need to make sure new members with crazy build ideas can come in and entertain us :)

Also, while mods are here... I've sponsored a number of members for Premium and they never got activated :(
I'll be trying again when mine is up for renewal in a month.

I know I have not been picking up the weight that I suppose to. I'm truly sorry. I "CAN" fix the cert thing. But honestly, I rather do it all at once. New server, newer version vb and everything fresh. Do it once, do it right.

I'm not making any promise right now "when" as I'm in the middle of trying to get a national cert for my department at my hospital and it's been keeping me occupied on/off work. It's a lot of info I'm gathering and once submitted they will come to survey. Covid-19 didn't help us at all at hospitals as we lost people and their responsibilities were just pushed on to us :rolleyes:.

But I promise you it's been on my mind and it's on top the list to be done. New server and newer version vb has been long overdue. There are quite a few add on/plugins on this forum that we have to make sure works with the new version. We also have to make sure the huge data moves over perfectly. It'll be a nice chunk of homework for us and then finally a "go live date". I'll keep posted.

I'm working on the Premium members. I take full responsibility and I hope you guys can forgive me. I promise you, if anyone got overcharged or got renewed when they didn't want it, trust me -- I'll refund your money. Whether it's a day late or week late or month late. I have no intention to keep a penny that's not meant to be. shoot me a pm and I'll take care of the refund.

Thank you for being part of this forum. :driving:

We appreciate the response and all you continue to do for the forum. That can not be said enough.

Some of us come from very technical IT backgrounds and would be more than willing to assist, test, and put into production the changes needed for the forum. I was a previous admin for a different car forum years ago and managed parts of VB alongside certs. We also have others like Madwi and Johnxxx who come from IT backgrounds that could be of vital assistance as well. This place does need more help other than Trips performing the daily upkeep. Gotta give the guy some backup.

Please let us know what can be done to help. None of us want to see the site degrade as it has been. We've made a lot of very close friends on here and want to continue seeing it flourish.

BoneZ 02-04-2021 08:41 PM

Nice too see you, old friend. We hope y'all are well.

Ak don't stress on the data as 3/4 of it is simply porn from a very bored member :rolleyes:

Trips,
Member Mrzoops is registered and is able to like posts, but is not able to post anything or send PMs. When I try to click on their name it says I have insufficient rights to view that page. They hit me up on reddit asking for assistance.

PM sent. :hello:

madwi 05-10-2021 09:49 PM

The masses are starting to bother me on reddit again, please approve new accounts or do some updates like stated above. Please.

DrBacon 09-03-2022 08:23 PM

So how about that updated forums which was mentioned over a year and a half ago?

gbrettin 11-01-2022 01:13 PM

How about getting a damn certificate for the site if you decide to moderate the site again. The hands off approach to this site is ridiculous. I cancelled my subscription because it's a money grab at this point.

I did the same.

DrBacon 11-02-2022 10:22 PM

I'd bring the forums back to the 21st century myself just for fun, I am more than capable if given the opportunity. Something needs to change one way or another, I just have this eerie feeling one day it'll disappear for good with how things are going. So much lost knowledge.

Leingod 11-03-2022 09:01 AM

Nah. Some of us have been performing monthly scrapes of the entire site so we can rebuild as necessary if AK just let's the place rot. We've asked enough times if he needs help, would sell the site or could handle the updates needed. Its on him at this point.

Rusty 11-03-2022 12:11 PM

Does AK have a Z anymore?

One can only hope it's possible he can come to his senses and give up control of what he created instead of letting selfishness destroy it.

And while scraping the website is great, without a proper database dump it's effectively just a static archive at that point, the current forums as we know it as an interactable service would still be gone for good.
