Forum Status and Future Direction

[gran racing]

Not on the Sandbox. That purpose is to be more of a closed environment and not on search engines whereas I'd hope this to be open to the public.

VB isn't that expensive. A new license is $249, an upgrade is $209.

VB does offer different ways to reduce spam such as the registration process. I started to incorporate a VB forum on my site, but never moved forward it for whatever reason. Can't even recall why any more.

stay here, do upgrade. get some paypal address and I'll send money. if 20 of us do that, we're golden. I think we can all list 20 people active here who could and should help.

Not yet. Let's discuss this out first. I'd like to discuss this thoroughly before any money starts changing hands. - GA

If the upgrade allows a new user registration process to be implemented, then it's easy-peasy. We pay and tGA does ALL the work.

What Chip said.
Sooooo many forums have anti-spammer stuff built into the registration process that I think it's silly to NOT do that as a first step.


Did a little bit of searching for a potential EasyButton online and came up with this:

Has this been considered?

Nothing has been considered. None of us have full administrative access to this system.

Maybe that's the direction Bill needs to take. He's had several of us as moderators on here for many years now. It's not like we're talking about this massive forum where he's earning a significant amount of income.

Note part of the current idea from my post #1 is for us to fund the upgrades and I get full administrative control. Have no clue what I'm doing, but I'll have access to eff it all up.

I'm in. I'd love to watch Greg eff it all up.
