The fall of R3v?

[chadthestampede]

Aren't there some vbulletin add ons that can control spam? Or having to answer a few questions at registration?

[nando]

I just deleted it all. It's very annoying to us as well - our current spam controls are pretty ineffective.

We do need to clean up on our spam

[rich4rdee]

Here's one of the reasons I don't post here much. 11 spam posts on the front page of general discussion.



I've never seen a forum with so much spam.

Facebook R3v is pure entertainment.


I remember a kid telling someone that water lines to the throttle body were for keeping oil in vapor form so it didn't coat his throttle body, and that hooking it back up would fix his oily intake.

i decided to go to the facebook page to see if it was actually that bad. saw this within a few minutes. i'm done

Once a week or so, I'll try to help someone out of the R3V facebook page, and post some factual information to a question. Something I know first hand to be true, and the best advice I could give, from a hard earned lesson I know first hand or something, blah, blah, balh. Then some 12 year old(ok, a 19 year old, kinda hard to tell the difference now-a-days) will come along and tell me I'm stupid, and that he knows better.

Now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way.

You wouldn't have to close it permanently. Just a month, or two. Long enough for the spammers to get the message and move on.

I have been waiting four years for them to approve my account. Needless to say, I haven't been back to that site in awhile.

closed registration is why E30tech is dead. you need new people to keep a place alive..

When does the migration to bimmerforums begin

Sorry but no. Never.

There's not enough sexual frustration on other forums for it to be fun.

you know, I flirt with VWVORTEX, I love the cars and own several but it still does not have the same vibe as R3V....


I went away for a while but have recently come back into the fold and its a better feel than the VW community....

Sad to say but I kinda like it here...

i don't have anything particularly against the c4, but apparently GM packed the c5's frame with sand, which somehow made it roughly the same weight as the c4 but nearly twice as stiff. tis what an ex chevy dealer told me GM said during one of their presentations when the c5 debuted

I like the C4s. More precisely a 96 Grand Sport. Plus I wouldn't turn down an LT1/LT4 or LT5 car.

I have one in the works.

A cherry 94 buick roadmaster Beige woody wagon. It's my uncle's car. Fun little land barge that can't handle, but boy is it a comfy car.

EDIT: Correction. It's a 96
