Am I wrong, or did Don’s username used to have “moderator†under it? Mandela Effect?

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Thoughts about the website in general

I like the idea of more sections for other bikes, not just classifieds. A GS doesn't fit my foreseeable lifestyle so I ride something else, but when I have a question about bikes, the folks on this forum are the ones I want to talk to. I would spend more time here if people were open to more threads on other bikes and the forum was setup for it. I feel like people are, but for example it just doesn't feel right posting a Triumph suspension question in the GS suspension section.
I feel like 'brand specific' might be too refined for a small forum, unless maybe it's a sub-category of 'other.' I'm not likely to click through threads on bikes I have no knowledge or interest in, but would click through anything technical in a general forum.
Aloha from Hawaii!

I always direct people from Facebook back to here... Facebook is an awful interface & only about 30% of what is written there really makes any sense (and most of that is coming from members here anyway...) 
Having people exchanging PM's on working out deals for bike parts gives the hacker community that much more incentive to try cracking in. Names, addresses, billing info etc can be compiled and sold off before any actual damage has been done! Having people posting "Hey, check out what parts I have listed on eBay" and leaving all the particulars to be worked out there gives hackers less incentive to try getting in. Nuff said.
The scammers started on on Craigslist and then quickly moved to Facebook because FB doesn't really do anything to stop the scammers. All they care about is hits for helping their advertising revenue. It's one of the reasons I bagged them.
We are still having issues with the forum database. It looks like something is causing caching errors which then croaks the database process. You see it on your end as stalls when attempting to load a page. I am going to try and rebuild the search index to see if that helps matters some. Unfortunately I'll have have to shutdown the forum for a while as it takes quite a while to do this.
