You must post here for a set number of post before the features of adding photos and links are available. It is a built in of the forum software for security purposes. I look forward to have a look at your little bronco.

I understand, but I strongly disagree. I understand that it is a labor saving method, but even a bot can post a series of stupid text-only messages to pass the test. Once one passes the test, a person can either spam the entire forum, post a multitude of porn photos (not something that would offend me), or use this as a platform to entice and bait people for money. This is not security.

I will note that the forum is not very active, and many members appear to come and go after a short period due to the forums shortcomings. I'm not saying I will be one of them, but I am pointing out the obvious and my senseless frustration.

Thanks for replying though.

GS has stood the test of time and you are certainly not the first with the similar complaints. Again, GS is long-haul oriented and hanging around enough to actually engage where family members are rather than where they should/could/oughta be is the value of GS longevity. I'm sorry it's frustrating for you but it may simply be a clash of intent and value. I certainly hope you'll find a special affinity within the forum's well established and totally free of charge service. Andy did this as a youngin' and has graciously kept it going all by himself for all the years. It actually lost hosting for an extended period and many of us are just sincerely grateful to have Andy use a backup to get it back online for us. I'm still in celebration mode but have no feelings of obligation or irrational expectation, only a sincere desire to connect where I can, support and be supported in a casual and unusually decent online forum for LGBTQ+ unlike the vast majority of all the others all over the world. Get to know the people and learn the value of the relations and you'll be casually hooked as well.
