I’ve put this off for quite a while, but you now have to register as a user AND I have to approve your first comment before any of your comments will appear on this site.
If you’ve posted comments here before just signup using the same email address and you should be good to go. Otherwise you can signup and submit your comment, I just have to approve the first one before it appears.
Sorry for the inconvenience but that’s the way the interwebs have moved. Comment spammers were overwhelming me and my only alternative was to close all the old posts. I hope many of the articles here will be interesting to people for weeks, months, or even years after they’re written. That’s one of the great things about vintage bikes and racing topics — they’re sort of timeless. So closing off comments after a few weeks isn’t good.
A couple of things made my decision easier. Over the past year or so most of the major mx/dirt bike sites have gone to requiring registration before you can comment, so I think it’s not the perceived barrier it once was. Most everyone knows comment spammers ruin “open” sites, and I think we’ve all gotten used to the idea we have to register.
Secondly, I was getting hundreds of spam comments per day. A while back I closed all the old posts to comments but that defeats my purpose.
I may get hundreds of spam users now. We’ll see. But at least this way legitimate readers can comment on any post they want. It’s a better tradeoff.
