Unless the owner is willing to make some significant changes to the software and the permissions (give the moderator more power to delete or block new accounts) the site is only good as click bait and spam collecting. Possibly useful as a honeypot.

I strongly, strongly, suspect they are bots. They aren’t malicious, just a criminal’s way of advertising their product. If they turn malicious, I have seen a bot hit a forum more than 150 times a day, from ever evolving addresses. (But in that case, the intent of the bot’s controller was to shut the forum down.)

And they don’t trust you, unless you bring it up first.
Sometimes you have to bring it up subtly, as in:
Did you see the news, where they quarantined the city and declared a curfew in China? Maybe we should be stocking up on a few things, in case it reaches here.
If they agree, they are a prepper, or a potential prepper.
If they say not to…[Read more] -

I doubt you will get an answer from him.
Can you block all new members?
If so, there may be a way. -

Using a storage unit is a good idea, for apartment dwellers.
Not perfect, but it is a start.Be sure to sit gallon water jugs on something soft, like a sheet of styrofoam, or they will begin to leak real soon.

Recently moved up into the mountains. Time is getting short for the U.S., and well thought out preps are a must.

WordPress software was never intended to run a forum on. I don’t know if the Owner/Administrator can or will do this, but the only way you will win this is to not allow links in posts until you, as moderator “promotes” the user to a level that can do it.
You also need to find a way to block automated creation of user accounts and kill those…[Read more]

TRex2 commented on the post, We're Back! 1 year, 3 months ago
Unfortunately, the WordPress software used in this forum does not seem up to the task of running a forum (it was meant for blogging, not forums), and the forum appears to be somewhat abandoned by its regular users.
We tried. For about a year we posted information and reported spam, but it appeared the Administrator (owner) had lost interest in…[Read more]

TRex2 replied to the topic North Korea-At it Again in the forum World News 1 year, 10 months ago
As I have written about, before (on EmergencyHomePrep), Dr Pry is outside of his area of expertise, when talking about Nuclear Weapons. And now, it looks like he has become a political lobbyist, pushing for EMP awareness. On the whole, his cause is a good one, but on some critical details, he is wrong.
I addition, he criticizes our intelligence…[Read more]

TRex2 replied to the topic Not much activity on APN in the forum A.N.T.S. 2 years, 2 months ago
But I do try and pop in every few days and see what activity has happened. Hmmm, just checked and it’s been 10 days since the last spam blast…maybe the spammers have realized the site is pretty much a zombie? That’s really sad.
Same here. If I ever hear that the problems have been fixed, I will probably start posting more here, again.

is just as good.He abandoned this forum after it went

knows if he is on another forum. -

I will also, probably, join your forum. An advantage of multiple forums might be that we might cover more subjects, and there would be redundancy if one forum should come under attack, but I am concerned that it will also dilute our knowledge base, unless there is a lot of duplicate information (same info found on multiple forums).
How do you…[Read more]

The scumbag isn’t just posting spam to be posting spam. His major purpose is to destroy, or at least reduce the value of the forum. Guys like him are extremely hateful of preppers for reasons that defy logic.

TRex2 replied to the topic Burial/Cache ideas in the forum General Family Preparedness 2 years, 4 months ago
For freeze thaw protection, you need to go deeper than the deepest freeze the area has had on record. The required depth may be as much as 4 feet in some areas. One way to reduce the needed depth is to place a sheet of Styrofoam (generally sandwiched between two sheets of plywood over the top of the cache. Then, instead of measuring straight down…[Read more]
