General Discussion / Re: Forum back up!!!

« on: September 04, 2026, 03:36:44 PM »

Thanks all for the patience on getting the site back up. There was a lot going on in my life. Not an excuse but wanted to give some sort of explanation.

Bluehost (the hosting platform I was on for many years) took the site down due to too many emails being sent. I missed the email and support was not aware. I moved the site to a new host after trying to get help from them. It become much easier to just move the site.

I'm disappointed it took me so long to get the site back up and it was weighing on me the whole time. In the world of AI, Facebook groups, social media, etc. forums are less popular but will always be a place where real riders / owners share honest info. ...imho.

I'll do better going forward. I have more time in life as my kids are out of High School and I'm an "empty nester" now. Fingers crossed.

Huge thanks to Stig for the pushs to get the site back up and offers to help. And all he does to help keep the site spam free and the community strong.

Let me know if you see any issues with the site. I'll be making some updates over the next few weeks to get to the latest / greatest versions so you may see some blips in uptime. I'll try to do it at night when possible.

Thanks all for your contributions to the forum!

Hi all, sorry for the outage and issues. I was using an older version of php and my host forced an upgrade.

The theme I was using is no longer compatible with SMF forum latest version.

For now I will need to keep this default theme and find a new look/feel.

If you use chrome browser and want to go back to the orange theme you can do it in your forum profile.

I'll figure this out as soon as I can. Again I apologize for the look while I find bold new graphics.

Hello is it better now?

I changed the site to use Https. Some of the theme settings still used http. Should be fixed now...

Sorry about the issues!

Thanks for the patience on this guys.

I run multiple forums and they were all getting a lot of spammers the last few days.

Zombie, that is interesting info about the source servers. I'm interested to hear where you found it.

These spam users are all automated. The spammers must have a human being go in and figure out the security question on the registration page. Then they create a script that looks for the text of the question and then specifies the right answer it pulls from a database. On some sites I removed a single character from the question and it stopped the spammer registrations. In the defense of the spammers they don't make it too hard to stop them so they give me fighting chance.
