    I could easily fire up another Improved Touring forum using VB, but we would not have all of this content without the current owner's blessing.

    I hope we figure something out soon. I'm getting tired of deleting spam and banning mo fos from this site every time I log on.

    Yup, I'm doing 6-10 per day, and I'm sure Earl and Andy are too.

    Still waiting to hear back from Mr IT.COM.

    Edit: and if you need at the bottom of the main page "welcome new member" and the nickname is random characters, just pre-banninate it. I'm noticing that they're creating accounts and then coming back 8-10 days later and posting their spam. Probably trying to get around other forums' "no posting for 7 days" limits.

    I see I'm not the only one pre-banninating visitors that show up on the bottom of the main page...

    There's many more of them than us, but at least we can have fun playing whack-a-mole.

    Greg,
    I have paid for webhosting for my own site for several years and only use a tiny fraction of the bandwidth and server space available to me. (I supposedly have unlimited bandwidth and space available...)

    If it doesn't blow my hosting fees out of the water, I'll be happy to hoste the site and give you (and whoever else deemed necessary) admin rights to the forum so it can be maintained properly.

    Can you get some info on the current space/bandwidth requirements?
    My account can currently load any of these software packages: (I have two small-traffic forums running on SMF currently)

    Lovin' it. Go to the "Who's Online" page:

    https://improvedtouring.coms/online.php

    ...and look at the number of spammers that are getting the 'stop sign' (can't create threads) or the 'yield sign' (can't register).

    Suck it.
