    Thank you for the attention given to the forum, it is much appreciated.    Especially in the area of photo posting, which had plagued many of us for years.

I wonder if Adam would consider having a major scope manufacturer like Leupold, Burris, Vortex etc make a run of scopes with a gloss finish to be sold under the Weatherby logo just like Roy did in the early days? It  would go a long way to keep ugly scopes off beautiful rifles.

I'd be buying a heap of them that's for sure!

It's all still there. looks like a spam attack!

      Maybe they're testing the system against viruses or spam attacks.

I just checked the profile of the latest two, both from Europe, Italy and Austria.

     So much for that notion.

If you click their profiles they claim to be in the US but list home in foreign countries. WTF is going on?

I just checked on a post from April where I mentioned we had 2531 members and now we have gained over 500 members in two months.

The same thing happened with the old Cabela's forum before it was shut down. A lot of messages were being relayed back and forth on dead threads, some with Chinese characters, others were coded with letters and numbers. Seeing this happen with the Weatherby Nation is concerning and something the Moderators and Admins should definitely take interest in and look into.

EDIT: It would also be a good idea to not add anyone to your buddy list that you don't know until this is sorted out...Yes, this includes me.

I don’t check in very often, but when I do there usually seems to be more spam than real posts! Hopefully there’s some solutions to that problem!!! Soon!

Hey guys, we got a nasty gram from our web host regarding all the bot traffic. I put some additional measures in place to try and mitigate all the spam. There should now be some additional requirements on sign up and there is a minimum post count you need to qualify for in order to post. There is also a couple of questions you'll need to answer when creating a new account, etc. They are all WBY related questions so every one here should pass. 

I'll keep my eyes on things. Thanks guys!

Thanks, we don't want to lose our forum.
