Something has to be done about all this spam. As I live on the other side of the world to most people in these forums, I'm awake when many are in the Land Of Nod. I could zap all this spam during your night, leaving the forum nice and tidy in the morning for when you wake up. Tyson

On behalf of the others, I thank you....The amount of spam is getting outragous. The forum has become a great resource and to lose it to fruitless posts would be a tragedy.

I would be happy to volunteer as well. I guess the site owners, whoever they are, must be away on holiday. If they don't do something soon this forum is going to die.

Has anyone try the "Contact Us" link on the bottom of this page? Perhaps if enough people send emails to the webmaster/ owners, this will get resolved. May even get the search function back!!

Unfortunately it may be closer to a full time job as it would seem this forum is on many spam lists...I checked around and this one is definitely on a few spam lists...

Dude, nobody here is interested in your @#$% forum save for spamming or crashing it too. Why don't you just get lost?! Are you stupid or something? I went to see it out of curiosity, but after waiting 30 sec for it to load I gave up. Not only do you suck at marketing, you apparently suck at programming too. F#$% you!

if they dont respond to what are reasonable requests for people to act as mods, i'm more than happy to volunteer to register an alternate domain, setup site hosting and install phpbb which runs the current forum and to replicate the general categories.

past this happy to have multiple mods to moderate and admin the site.

Does somebody know a good domainname related to cycling and to forums?

I own and moderate a large medical forum in The Netherlands with more than 250.000 unique visitors a month. I have several tweaks to avoid spam and it runs on a fast dedicated server. I can set up a new forum easily on a fast server and make Tyson and Strader moderators.

It looks like everyone is in agreement, just don't make it complicated to find or lose our account info if that's possible.

Sounds like a good idea, shouldn't be too hard to think of a name. I didn't check for domain registrations, but http://www.cyclistforum.com/ didn't bring back a page.
