A Few Changes
 
Just as a heads up, you will need to be logged into the PGCA Forum to read any posts or threads... You can thank the horrific number of Search Bots that have been on-line in this Forum for that change - and when I threw the switch earlier today - there were no fewer that 29,000+ BOTS, which, while the server is pretty robust - crashed it several times over the past 24 hours - as they screen & read all the posts to feed their AI Algorithms.... "Ain't technology great?"

Frankly:

Enough is enough....

So, if you refer a freind to the PGCA Forum - please let them know they'll have to (properly!) register first to access any information....

My best to all - and I appreciate your patience!

You’re the best John … Where would we be without you?

Ahhh, thanks Dean..! It will probably take a day or two to settle down - but since throwing that switch, not a single database error (“What’s that knocking”? Just me knocking on wood…!)

No punishment is too harsh for hackers and scammers. :cuss:

Good work, John, and thank you for it.

This is one of the best sites on the internet. And it’s a good example of how social media is supposed to work for positive outcomes.

Thanks for being diligent.

Thanks to all for all the kind words and your understanding - both are incredibly appreciated!

It appears to be working, for, as I type this, we only have a handful of automated search bots on the site - finding nothing... I may slowly open up certain parts of the site, and monitor the results...

Anyway, again - thank you!
