hello everyone, i am in the process of deleting all the fake (spam)usernames. This is why the site was down yesterday, cause i screwed up something while doing this! i will wait till late tonight before atemting to complete the process incase it goes down again. Unless anyone here knows how to work on websites or they have a friend who knows how. (that means free) If it goes down again , trust me it will be back probably in 24 ours or less.please feel free to email me if you are familiar with website operations, specifically msql data tables

thanks Kevin

Good deal is this going to make it easier to get real users activated?

Now I gotta figure out why new users can't register? It says username already exist. Before it even asks for a name? Anyone good with php, Arron how bout your friend?

hey brett, do you know if the msql execution is the same as a msql query? i found the msql query box, and im not sure if thats were i put that string , from the link you gave me.

I'm going to say it's the same. Query is the box for the program and execute is refering to (go) or (run). From reading this.
