A Boom in Forum Membership?
JAG - 1/5/25 at 02:36 PM

Has anyone else noticed that 'we' have a lot more members logged in these days?

Over the last two weeks I've noticed we regularly have over 10 members logged in. While, only a few weeks ago, we would often have just 2 or 3 members logged in.

This maybe good news but I'm not sure - if you click on the names you find they're mostly from Ukraine and they have 0 posts

I don't really know what is happening but it does seem out of the ordinary!

Anyone understand why?

Scammer(s) is my bet.

Somebody or something has discovered the forum and started joining.

The registration real human check is a dropdown box, which is a heartbeat away from being zero check.

Maybe Ukraine is finding out how to build cars for £250 so they don't have to buy American cars ........... or its scammers.

There is a bit of background work going on to clean this up......

Thanks Fozzie and Luke...

I don't know what we'd do without you
