I posted the URL in a comment on Facebook, since someone asked over there. I would hope we would get a sign up or two...

Adam...can you add a Google captcha to the site? They're generally very effective.

I think the five new questions are good.  And not too restrictive

I don't see any new members since those questions were put in place, so maybe need to lower the bar slightly? I do find them ridiculously easy, but maybe that's because I'm too close to it?

I would leave the questions.  I use captcha stuff on a number of other blogs I operate and they never work for some reason.  I don't know why the spammer bastards even hit our sites as there are not that many members or posts but they generally cause me to be unable to manage them.  I started a Beech 18 site last year and it completely got hosed and because worthless.

I wish there was something we could do physically to these bastards..  Would at least make it more fun in dealing with them.

lol, well, actually....

I now own a Beech 18, a Lockheed 12 and the twin Commander.  I've decided to sell the 18 and keep the commander as my backup.  I've already sent and received the gear box that was causing the left prop to feather and I've found a cylinder shop that guarantees his work to go to TBO.  Morris always said my problem with cylinders was due to shops not lining things up properly when they install the valve guides and this shop spends extra time to make them perfect.  Supposedly. :-)

We'll see.  But honestly, I love the Lockheed, but nothing flies as good as the Commander.  Working through an annual now so hopefully will have her flying soon.

A Lockheed 12? That's pretty cool! Always liked the look of those. Is it a project?

Glenn, you have to post some pictures of the Lockheed! Start a new thread for it. I would love to see it.

How does it compare to the 18?
