    I'm concerned with the fact that some folks comming in here may be the buttheads that made the other site bad. The profanity restructions do help but will the moderators be able to handle all of them?

    Also, with the flood of folks, is there still enought bandwidth on this site? Will this soon have ad mouseovers?

    I guess this is a question moreso to the admins.
    Let me say something here. I've been a long time member of ClubGP since 1999. Recently there as been a spite of bannings there by the owner due to issues with vendor rules. I would suspect most of the people coming here will be good helpful folks that got banned because of strict vendor rules at the other site. Not BAD BOYS as some of you might think.

    Actually, that's why I posted. After a couple of the vendors were banned, several known idiots that go around only placing insults in questions were banned too after cursing at the admin on the "why did ... get banned" threads. They took advantange of the situation so they can have fun.

    I'm not worried anymore based on the replies and I noticed some people migrated over with their free will.

    I think much of the spamming was done out of Anger and frustration at the ClubGP Admin. That place as almost no clue how to run a Car Club. The Owner is in it for money, and $$MONEY ONLY$$. I mean from the get go, the Owner appointed 2 -3 Mods and basically left them to tend to the site. They did not coordinate. rarely updated, and rarely participated. You can not have 10,000+ members roaming an online forum with only 2-3 mods trying to enforce... They got overwhelmed fairly quick.
