Whenever I do a google search on engine, trans, brakes etc pertaining to a bus, usually SBF is in the top 10 hits. SBF Professional Garage is the place to be if you want help with a broke bus. Now we are getting new members, some joined because they own a medium duty rig and we have close chassis setups like a bus. That is great because we may need help from them sometime. Others want to spam us with crap, or come in the forums and gather lists. I think security should be tightened up here a bit. If ya wanna advertise see the SBF admins, quit with the chinese spam.

I have to agree, I have noticed a lot of replies in topics which are either ads for businesses that have little to no relevance to the topic at hand, or are all jibberish. Something needs to be done.

I would agree. Problem is it is hard to do that. The best way is to have to validate a membership by hand. This takes time and I'm sure Brad is like the rest of us when it comes to time.

We are having this problem with our antique tractor club site called prairiedays. I just have to go in there and clean it out every day. And we don't have near the traffic that there is on thsi forum. I would say that is what is happening here too. But I see there is still some spam here. I would say ol' Brad just hasn't been on here yet. Look for it to disapear and a message from Brad in the not too distant future.

I noticed the Chinese parts spam in a bunch of posts yesterday. I'm glad to see that they are gone today.

As you can tell, I have a lot of time on my hands. If anyone needs help with cleaning out the spam stuff, just send me an email and tell me how to do it, and it shall be done! :)

It's not worthing doing if you're not having fun.

When the kids ask how old I am, I tell them, "Old enough to have helped create the formula for dirt, but young enough to still enjoy playing in it."

I think our moderator is doing a teriffic job! Kudos to Brad!

If it doesn't fit, FORCE it.
If it breaks, well, it needed replacing anyway.

I agree.
