    There’s no issues with keeping the domain active, that’s all handled. I’m trying to wake the forum back up and get more people participating so it can stay a good resource for both current and future scrappers. I’m working on making it more useful and valuable for everyone who wants to learn, share info, and make money in the scrap business.
    I had registrations paused for a while when spam was getting bad, but they’re back open now and we’ve got new users signing up. Just trying to move things in the right direction and build it back up.

    You should have considered signing up with cloudflare to keep spam out.

    By pausing the domain many of your members though the forum had finally gone dark forever and may never return, it;s not like we were all send an email to inform us - issues had been resolved.

    Something you won't see from the admin side, when a member logs onto the forum and hits New Post's. i there are none the user is presented with a pop pop up saying you have to wait 20 second's before doing another search.

    At my age 20 seconds is an eternity. Is there anyway to change the message on that annoying pop up, to say you might search the archives. That current wait time is ridiculous.
