I have a forum Andy but I have restricted membership to prevent hackers. Although computers/systems is my job I am at the very bottom of the ladder when it comes to forums and web sites, can get them up and running but if they break I doubt I am much different to you. I will be suprised if we dont have someone on here that is a bit handy with them though. If you get stuck I will have a look but like I say I am a novice at that bit. I know the chipping in thing comes up now and then and I know all the downsides of having paying 'members'. I do think though if peeps want to chip in on the understanding they are treated exactly the same as anyone else I reckon you should take it, (preferably done annonymously so nobody feels bad about not being able to contribute). Last thing MMM needs is a class system, it just works so well as it is  |

I agree - those of us who can would love to chip in whatever we can afford. I can understand why Andy doesn't want that - but we'd be lost without this forum, there's no other like it!

I'm with BikerGran A few years a go i saw a nice looking trike which got me thinking ( i know thinking is dangres   ) i like a trike. The way the trike looked i thought i could make one myself, so i started looking around the internet to see what i could find on trikes and came across this site quite by accident and i haven't left. Like BikerGran says there's nothing like it |

Muppets!  Nabs, we don't have a restricted membership policy as some sites do, but do run a few checks on any applicant that looks iffy. We get a couple of computerised hits a month, usually with user-names that are completely random strings of letters & numbers. We check 'em through a few other sites & if we're still in doubt, send an email asking them to confirm they're genuine & not computer generated -so if you get that email, don't take it personally! Not fool proof but it weeds out most of the spam ones. The virus was introduced through the forum, via an avatar that contained hidden script. That's why we now restrict use of avatars to established members. Most viruses are free roaming, not targetted at particular sites. We were just unlucky enough to be using a forum programme with loopholes that allowed it in. I am Lord of all I survey! ...yeah, right!  |

Thats the way I do it Andy, only cos we started getting literally hundreds of fictitous members a week. Luckily the forum software I use (SMF) has been okay for me so far, I do apply all the updates as soon as they come out though and use a standard theme so I dont have to worry about an update breaking it.
If it was caused by script running from an avatar did you ask your hosting company if they could sort the problem for you? No idea if they could or would though, just thinking out loud. Will be some little s**te sat somewhere thinking they have done a great job because their script worked as well. Barstewards aint they.

They just do it because they can. An internet version of graffiti, if you like.

The hosting company took us offline & didn't reinstate our account until we'd cleared the virus -which is entirely understandable. It was our problem, not theirs. We try to keep things as casual & welcoming as we can here, but there's always stuff going on behind the scenes!
