Now that's a shame. What made this site vulnerable to spam?

Unfortunately, the signup routine was not proof against spambots. I guess it is now, because it has stopped happening, but the damage was done.

I have noticed a lot of sites like this are showing dwindling activity. I expect social media may be the reason but I don't know for sure because I avoid them for a number of reasons.

It can't be because of the lack of cars - the roads are chaos these days - but then maybe I should get a Ford and see what the various Ford forums are like.
