Thanks, Joel!
I joined in December of 23, It was entirely free, and I think it probably still is.It has been a long time since I joined the forum so I cant remember, but is the forum free to join or is there some degree of a vetting process before people are allowed to just join?
It is indeed still free. The forum exists because of members donating, and the generosity of Brian & others.I joined in December of 23, It was entirely free, and I think it probably still is.
I used a poor choice of words, I was more referring to there being some way to prevent people from joining, like an admin having to approve someone's account before they can join/ post.It is indeed still free. The forum exists because of members donating, and the generosity of Brian & others.
In that respect, it is still "Free" I needed no approval of any sort before joining. However that isn't a bad idea.I used a poor choice of words, I was more referring to there being some way to prevent people from joining, like an admin having to approve someone's account before they can join/ post.
With the amount of spammers popping up lately it seems like it should be implemented if possible.In that respect, it is still "Free" I needed no approval of any sort before joining. However that isn't a bad idea.
We can’t keep up with this James. Hopefully Joel will see this and what we actually need is the ability to delete and ban as Moderators with one button. Not nine. By the time we do that another Spam machine has shown up. Thanks everybody who puts a reply in this thread but I assure you that we are seeing it, we are just having a problem keeping up with it.I am deleting as we speak!
Pleeeease don’t back away. We cannot afford to lose your knowledge. You and so many others who are all members here. This little Forum is pulling in more and Imperial collectors from around the world, as we are (reasonably) polite and as said, free. But not free for Brian. Many years he struggles to keep the Forum paid but still it’s here for us. So donate to keep this alive. Spammer programs will never stop the assault. When you see spam BS, we’re probably on itUnfortunately, I have decided not to react anymore here on the forum, for a while.
I won't remove myself, yet, but this is not the way I like it.
