Important Info - Please Read

Hi everyone!

First I'd just like to introduce myself, my name is Mike and I'm a new Admin here at GZ250Bike.com. I'm going to be helping out around here to both maintain and improve the forum for all of you.

As you can see, we've been hit pretty hard lately with automated spam. In an effort to eliminate this, we're going to be converting to the popular vBulletin brand of forum software here very soon. Not only will it help us fight spam better, but it will bring about a lot of new improvements. No info will be lost (members, posts, etc.) so don't worry, but you may have to re-install your avatar and/or signatures. More on that later though.

We're very sorry for any inconvenience this spam has caused you, but I promise that we're working on a solution as we speak. Please just bear with us for a little while longer.

Thanks guys, we appreciate your patience! Watch out for a new & improved GZ250Bike.com coming VERY soon!

-Mike

We need you. There are about 500 'sleeper' spam accounts to delete. What a job!

Hi there, and welcome to the madhouse. Do you ride? If so, is it a GZ or something bigger? you haven't mentioned it in your avatar. :2tup:

Looking forward to the changes and salutations to you Mike.

With the changing of the guard we should all thank John Dupo for the start of this forum. It has been of immense help to all of us who have or had a GZ in our stable. Thank You John and best wishes in future adventures on 2 wheels.
