Registering for an account on the forum. (Or so it seems)

[Christian Raith]

They are either robots or spammers trying to get access to do what they did when I first started the site......get in and wreck it
That is why we have the security questions and if they are fair dinkum they can email for info but they never do.
Security is working.

What s up with this phenomenon............this has always intrigued me............when viewing who s online you can regularly see some 10 to 20 "Guests" "registering for an account on the forum" daily/hourly and by the minute.........yet you d be lucky to see a new users name as "Latest member on the forum" once a month if not bi monthly.
In the words of Pauline Hanson........."Please Explain?
There s seems to be a lot of frustration from people wanting to register .but having trouble entering precisely and correctly the answer to the log in question . I know this is to stop spam..........but maybe it s causing a lot of otherwise lost new members to give up in frustration.
And on another subject....as a non facebook user........how many members are participating on the facebook page or other means and bypassing this forum as I ve noticed a downturn in input as well as online presence.(Hands up the Lurkers).
It s the old adage............"Use it or Lose it".
So if your reading this and have an opinion....or even a bike related comment or query.....or a pic of those plastic streamers out the end of the handgrips or wooden pegs and cardboard clackers on the rear wheel spokes.........don t be shy ....don't be a fly on the wall....you may very well ask that dumb question a lot of others are afraid to ask but want to know the answer to .
Just like this topic....... and any answers or opinions
