We will be moving (Yesterday)
Gonna speed things up a bit so we will be moving to new hosting in the next few days so the site may be down for a little bit. Thanks for your patience while we move, it won't take long.
Making a few site changes again...
Things may get ugly here and there so be patient with me please. :rolling
The operating system update doesn't like something on the site and I wouldn't be surprised if the whole site goes down for a few minutes here and there. I already know how to bring it back pretty quick and start over, learned that the last time I tried this... Would be nice if I could find some help but the help I found so far like last time messed things up pretty bad. That's how I learned to bring it back lol.

All that is left is 5 more small OS update patches, and then updating the template and forum software. The fancy website template software was the main problem with all of this and may still be a problem when I try to update it, we will see tomorrow and hopefully all will go well... I can remove the software and customize the template manually if need be, it will just take more time and may not be as pretty for awhile lol.
I added a simpler login and register button right under the shoutbox as well today, it used to be on the front page. Moving it off of the front page a few months ago helped a lot with the spammers. The create account button on the one that is also still on the forum is too big, asks too many questions, and is confusing to some. I'm going to modify the code for the setup that has been on the forum page for awhile soon to try to simplify it instead of using yet another module on the site. The site needs to be streamlined and a few things fixed in the OS, not clogged up with more stuff (modules) to "fix" or customize it.

I am removing the simpler register button today and deleting a ton of spammers. Somehow it must be easy for the spammers to find lol. :rolling
