I know a lot of members here are members of other forums I am too.

Recently having bought a Nissan Elgrand I tried to join a couple of the associated forums. Which from other forums I am a member of its simple enough....no?

I have tried several times registering with the elgrand forum and while I get an acknowledgment I never get an activation or other contact from the forum, this is over a month now and nothing from them

The really weird one is the nissan owners main forum. I was looking to join that as I had no luck with the elgrand forum but every time I check the forum the boards are full of topics covering various medical supplies, callis viagra etc. Its obvious they have had their system overrun with spam. I sent them a message and on checking tonight the medical subjects have all gone and been replaced with various options for !Removed!.

I dont know about the membership levels and how these forums are moderated etc but honestly its mental. There would be no point in joining such a forum. I hope they get things sorted out there.

In the several years I have been a member here I have never seen anything like this on TOC. Thats years of doing a very good job, well done chaps

When I had my Business, I was a member of an American Dry Cleaning Forum & it was quite good. No trouble joining up.

After about a year a series of links to paedophile sites appears in the General questions & answers forum. Regular members & my self started yelling blue murder on line & PM'd the Mods. Nothing happened & the links remained.

One member posted that there must be more money in that sort of stuff than in the day to day postings.

Years later, I still check in, now & again, & it seems to be clean & re organised.

Yes we do moan here. That is Human nature, but I do realise how well off we are

Quite winging, and make use of it while it lasts! ;)

Ahh your right there. I forgot about that. I also tried to join that forum Donkeys ago, gave up and put it to the back of my mind.....obviously

There was a number of the ah topics on said forum that had a read count....so some one is making use of the links. Hope they got their AV up to date
