The sign up procedure of this forum is/was insanely amateur at best.
This was a problem waiting to happen.
Admin had the chance to close this forum to new members within 24 hrs of this all kicking off.

Yes, I know, this forum is provided free by Haynes but at the end of the day it must be a valuable marketing tool for them, else they wouldn't waste resources on it.
Every member who has bought the Haynes title " Build your own sports car on a budget " has paid for this forum.
Said book being one of Haynes best selling titles.
