I saw David M make a post in the Meet and Greet thread pertaining to some weird names that were "members". I figure I will address that and another very small board issue here, instead of posting elsewhere. Most people know that we use a very popular chat board software, Vbulletin. For whatever reason hackers have written programs to falsely, automatically and frequently register erroneous names and fake email addresses. I probably receive 800-1000 emails a day for the fake registrations. I have some rules set so I just wipe them out from a special spam mailbox every few days. That is the reason you will see weird members being registered. It happens with all of the Vbulletin forums, I would imagine. It's not that big of a deal but when you see our total members at the bottom of a page, it is not the real number. We are somewhere in the 2200 range for real members, and gaining about 50-70 a month, steadily.
Also, our little ebay/GSB price/user/grade links sections are down right now due to a server issue in another location. That probably won't be fixed for another day or so. My apologies on that. It's a little irritating but there is nothing I can do at the moment to fix it. It lies at the hosting company.
IF anyone has any constructive criticism or suggestions you may voice them here, or anywhere and anytime, actually. I hope all are having a Happy New Year. In about an hour and a half I am back to my little girls Volleyball Tournament (started yesterday, yuck) so will be out until a bit later. take care and happy collecting ......(GO TCU!!!)
