I thought it was me. When comparing what you guys experienced its same here. I've noticed bad or not good advice on you tube , net,etc with our Pontiacs. This forum is the best for help,experience with building our Pontiacs.

Way way better, only 189 guests now and similar when I popped on 3 hours ago, good job on making them aware and the quick fix after.

Why am I being asked if I'm human every time I sign in?

I think it is a way to prevent ‘bots from doing a mass attack and overloading the max performance internet server. So we can all access the forum

I see the light! Amazing how fast the 'net' changes. I just got recertified to volunteer especially around youth. What they are 'bombarded ' with!! Parents be watchful!

The captcha seems to be helping a lot. This is a great improvement!

Thanks again to tempest1964 for initiating this change!

There does, however, seem to be some caca slipping past this verification software. Hope it doesn't learn how to bypass the captcha well enough to flood the site again:

Well, you can let your imagination make it whatever you want. Me, I'm thinking of the old site as an HFT and we just got upgraded to a roller.
