Feel free to dig around the admin panel if you want to take a look. I won't be able to sit down until later this weekend to dig into it.

Maybe more than one admin that's active would help.

The spam attacks are getting ridiculous.

Seems like Simon is the only guy here with authority to deal with this on the daily

True that, most of the old mods/admins aren't active anymore. Simon has been carrying that weight for some time.

Is there zero account verification/bot protection in this forum software? Seems like every day the entire forum is flooded with the same trash.

Can you at least word filter or rate limit? Require a first post in an intro section? Disable posting from the countries the spam is coming from except for approved/already registered members? Require mod approval of first post?

Where did James go? Do we need to spam his other socials to get him back here to deal with this bot problem. This is worse than the site having all the crashing errors.

This. And this seems like a rather simple fix, probably doesn't require any plugins on this version. Plenty of limits should be enforceable.

Another potential fix: First post has to be approved, or first thread(s) created have to be approved before they actually post. etc.

To be frank I'm working 99% of the time, and in the off chances I get out I get out to an event, BMW etc. Even with my social media posts I'm still working in between them.
