After 15+ years with Network Solutions we have changed to a new domain name registrar. This may have made Ncdsa.com unavailable yesterday, Sept 11, for a period of a few hours while the global DNS servers updated.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Comment spammers

I didn't think the XRumer-like bots would bother with a one-off forum like Ncdsa.com v1.0 but I was mistaken. The unfortunate result has been a flood of bot-generated comment spam that my existing filters are only catching about 90% of.
So I've taken the more drastic -- and hopefully temporary -- step of disallowing any post containing any link, period. This will be an inconvenience to members but hopefully a spam-free Ncdsa.com will be benefit enough to justify it while I devise a better Turing test than the Black Box Number.

Google's crawler decided to open 2991 separate sessions to www.ncdsa.com early this morning which quickly swamped our server. I reset it at 10:00AM PST and will be configuring our Google account to throttle future crawls.

First night up, first crash. Sorry about that. I'm looking into moving this site to our new server that was running the phpbb site.. much newer, much faster hardware, but Win2K vs Win2008 compatibility issues to tackle..

From the webmaster...
After a 15-month hiatus, the original Ncdsa.com forum software has been brought out of retirement as its erstwhile replacement (Ncdsa 2.0 running on phpBB3) was rendered useless by comment spammers running xrumer. Interestingly, one of the best defenses against xrumer and its ilk is to have a non-standard forum that the bot authors don't bother hacking into.
All posts from Ncdsa.com 2.0 have been merged into this site's database, though the threaded organization was lost in the process since Ncdsa.com 1.0 never supported threads. I apologize for the inconvience this will no doubt cause.

Bot-generated comment spam from programs like xrumer has become so bad of late that I've temporarily resorted to requiring admin-approval of all new member registrations. I apologize for the inconvenience this puts on new members, but manually deleting dozens of pharma spams a day was not something I wanted to continue doing.

Does any one have 1 (one) N.O.S. 68mm G&S Wonker Wheel in either yellow or orange. I only need one of either color to complete a set. The orange would be perferred but a yellow one would work as a two color set. If you have one or know of anyone who does-please send them my way.Thanks; Dennis darkhorse2 51@verizon.net

Brief outage July 2nd

A routine reboot following a Windows Update revealed that the Ncdsa.com server was no longer reboot safe. The fix involved a 100mi round trip to the data center so I could press the F1 key to advance past a RAID card low battery warning message during the POST. Doh.Probable maintenance window in the coming weeks to install a new RAID card battery and upgrade firmware.

[color=#BF0040:3qie18lk]The National Association of Powered Skateboard Racings[/color:3qie18lk] president announced yesterday that powered Skateboard racing will bring the recognition so long desrved but not obtainable until now. James Hawkins whom presides over all aspects of the associations responsibilities As far as promoting this new X-Treme sport that is burning across the internet and into every major country in the world. rumor has it that the Tour De France Sponsor have already developed a 5 foot 90 mph skateboard that is electrically powered. imagine the streets any where in Europe or the rest of the world. The race starts with 50 racers.And the quickly accelerate to 50 mph. They are riding the razors edge their is no other sport as demanding as powered skateboard racing none are even close. The powered skateboard racers decision must be precise and exact . The skateboard racers are some of the best conditioned athletes in the world especially when it comes to balance and hand to eye cordination. For video of NAPSR sanctioned events you must only go to the ENCINO VELODROME EVERY OTHER WEEKEND.AND by the way they are currently at 47 mph. This week the x-calibur performance Powered Skateboard Racing Team challenges the Venice Beach Dogtown Boyz.www.napsr.bz

Yes, please roll back to the old format Adam. It was a bit chaotic, but obviously chaos has its place.Thank god the contest calendar is intact, but I don't even see that being used much outside the Northwest slalom crew.Even if you had to just dump the last few months of posts and revert "time machine" style, I think it would be worth it!

System maintenance Jan 17th

The updates/maintenance are finished. We succeeded in updating/patching all the elements of Ncdsa.com to the most current releases. We also removed from the main forum page many obsolete/little used forums as there were simply way too many. Content from those forums is still available to members via the site's search function.Regarding the conversion of select forums to so-called Town Hall style, we aborted this effort mid-way for a number of reasons, most having to do with either poor usability or phpBB limitations. Sorry to disappoint fans of the original Ncdsa.com, but modern threaded forums are here to stay. What we are working on next is a mobile device interface so iPhone, Blackberry, an Android phone owners can use Ncdsa.com in a smaller, more mobile-friendly format.Thanks to our programmer Gregory for finding time in his impossibly busy college schedule to work on Ncdsa.com.

At long last, Ncdsa's programmer is available and poised to implement alterations and improvements to the site. Expect to see some/all of the following in the coming days:o Pruning of obsolete/little-used forums; about half of the current forums will go. Their content will still be available via Search but will not accept new posts and will not take up space on the main forum listing, i.e. the top page.o Conversion of select forums to Town-Hall (i.e. single topic) style with newest posts on top, i.e. Z-A date ordering.o Improved colors/fonts.One small but significant change was already implemented, namely exposing the [i:m7wgkex9]View Active Topics[/i:m7wgkex9] link to unregistered and not logged in users. Thanks for your ongoing patience as we work to improve Ncdsa.com!

Seems the only activity is from the Brazilians or the Brits. (not that there is anything wrong with that) I'm from Norcal and there is no longer anything here for me, I used to enjoy the old style, and discussions from all over. Not clunky at all, if you missed something just go back a page or 2 and catch up. I saw some spam and tried to figure out how to report it, but couldnt figure it out and dont want to spend the time if its not fairly easy. Just my 2 cents.

[quote="Michael":ibyu1her]Its dead.I dont see any reason for keeping it this new format. So what if some people find it easier to follow..fact is there is NOTHING to follow!!!!Take a bold move and roll the old forum back.[/quote:ibyu1her]Michael, you are 100% correct!NCDSA is dead. It used to be "the place" to post about slalom and racing. Now it is just another PHP site.I used to post on NCDSA and not really worry about ISSA or Silverfish. The important info would get movedthere by itself.It's been a slow death, but I think it started when Adam started censoring lots of posts and then killed the vendor forumunless people paid him. His site had power then, now it has none. I guess he can still ban me...People love a good soap opera or a nice train wreck. Some of the old discussions on NCDSA were just that.You wanted to tune in just to make sure you weren't missing anything in the first "screen" of posts becauseit was such a pain to search or scroll back in time.Now people have to triple post here and on the other 2. That is ridiculous! NCDSA lost it's edge and character.If I was running another big event, and wanted to get the word out, I would just post on the other 2...There is no longer anything special about NCDSA. Everyone might as well move on to Silverfish which is active.Since the new site has been dumped on us, I have noticed that the Brazilan's seem to really like it. Maybe you should rename it?There are more Brazilan posts than the rest of the world combined.I guess the spammers are liking it also...
