Is anybody still coming to this site? It's been awful quiet here lately. It's nice to not have to delete spammers, but it would sure be nice to see you guys all posting from time to time. I unfortunately haven't been very active with cards lately, but I still check here every couple of days to see if any of you guys/gals have anything new to share. Hopefully this winter, I'll be in a better financial position, and be able to come here and post my new found treasures, and trade lists.

Glad to see you post. I keep hoping for this site to take off, and I'm really surprised it hasn't yet. I know there are thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Heritage collectors out there. Maybe they just haven't found this site yet?

NYTrader,

Unfortunately this site hasn't ever taken off. I thought it would be a huge success for sure back when I signed up here. I still keep hoping it will get some activity, but it hasn't really happened so far.

I saw your post with your want list, and really wish I had something from your lists. I just don't have any of what you wanted available right now. Check back once in awhile, hopefully this site will be found by more Heritage collectors.

If you have any want lists from 2006 and earlier, please post them. I have lots of available cards from 2002-2006, and a few from other years.

Thanks,
Tom

Yeah sorry about the slowness. It's mostly my fault, as I haven't really done much to promote the site. Recently spam bots have figured out how to bypass the verification system and were creating dozens of new accounts each day, posting spammy messages, so I've quit accepting new users until a new version of the forum software comes out. Actually, new users can still register, I just get an email to verify them before they can post. But still, I get dozens of emails each day to verify new spammy accounts, so I don't always read them all.

Also with so many other card forums, I guess there's not much need for this one, but regardless, it will still be here if anybody ever wants to use it!

Retro Cards,

No need to apologize for the slowness, I still come here every day or two to check and see if anything is going on. I keep hoping more Heritage collector's will find it, but it just doesn't seem to happen. Hopefully someday more people will find their way here.

As for the spam bots, I noticed them too. I've been deleting tons of them over the past few weeks. I noticed that they quit posting, and was wondering why. I meant to PM you about it, but I wasn't sure if you were still around or not. I've been very carefully deleting them, to make sure I don't delete a legitimate id. Most are real obvious, but a couple are not. I was doing a bit of reading on some other forums looking for a way to deal with it, and it appears that many other sites are having the same issue. The best solution I read was to block all emails that end in @gmail.com, and the other ones they use. However, I didn't want to set it up that way for fear of excluding someone legitimate who has that type of email account. I'm sure there will be someone who will find a way to solve it sooner or later. When I have some time, I'll do some research again, and try to fix it as well.

Anyway, good to see you post again Retro. Talk to you soon.

Tom

I noticed you had been staying on top of the spambots, thanks for all the work! I know they are quite annoying.
