RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I just tried to get on for the first time today and got a message that I was temporarily banned. I just assumed it was because of my view on Andy's arms vs. RPM.

So the secret is to make this place less popular???

That's unpossible!

Site went down... then came back up... again.

Huh... No reason it should have. Random server fart I guess.

Sorry about the spam bot. They answered the "What was your first hobby grade R/C model" answer correctly which is how their account got approved. It's rare but it happens.

It's like the online version of Wack-A-Mole... who didn't love that game?!

Credit to 'em for putting a cell phone sales pitch in the "Modern Electronics" section though.

What was their answer??
I'll guess Grasshopper.

Traxxas. Yup, I looked

Mine was the Grasshopper 2 lol. I guess I would have failed too lol.

Oddly enough we just had a bogus sign-up that used 'Tamiya Grasshopper.' I caught it due to the username being a female name. Whenever I have a doubt if a new member is legitimate or not, I check the IP address geolocation and Google the email address to see if it shows up on any spammer list which it did.

Been having the same problem... can't attach anything over 125kb without getting an error.

Huh... That's not good. I'm looking into it now. Nothing has been changed on our end to cause it so it may be a result of something our hoster did.

I was going to attach a pic of the site being down, but I can't.
