The problem with the site is very complicated, technical and quite frankly it is above my pay grade. For one it is running on vbulletin which is obsolete which means they stopped support and software updates long ago. Not only that but the site is on an old old version of it - very old. On top of all of this for quite a while now there is an issue with captcha which is the identification verification (click on all the motorcycles, etc.) that is supposed to weed out the bots and non-human users. With it not working, we can't accept new users. There are some options to use q & a (what sound does a dog make = woof) but when I tried to use that the we were getting DOZENS of new users a day from the bots. Maybe hundreds. The site needs to be upgraded badly to continue on. That or someone who can at the very least, fix the captcha issue. Even if I had the money or we raised the money to do it - I don't have the time to devote to it. This site really needs a V20 loving owner that who has message board administration experiend and some time to devote to it.
Sorry guys, there is the ugly, ugly truth and I HATE that it has gotten to this but while I am and IT professional message board engineering is NOT my forte.
