I started our forum in 2001. A couple young guys started a competing site and sold it to an older guy for 1500.00. 20 years later he's still using VB and clueless. Spammers were so bad he had to close registration for a year lol. Then it got hacked and they started sending scam email promoting DERO crypto to all the forum information they stole. Total train wreck. So it can get worse than VS.Here is a fact, present day, 300 guests and 6 members logged in at any one time, before the takeover, up to 1000 members logged in at any one time and 250 guests. Spammers galore!! At one time, 30,000 registered spammers, multiple emails with 10 or more users on each email, porn sites-you name it,

Same, we have a fabulous set of moderators. Every one hand picked after years of membership that demonstrated their personality and style. We never accept someone who asks to be a moderator, the answer is immediately, "sorry we are not looking for more moderators now." We also have a monthly moderator's call where we talk shop and talk about life. Every mod has every other mod's cell phone so we can all text or call each other. All mod's get along and a few of us get together on occasion.but I have a great moderation team and I'm in daily text communication with my deputy administrator.
