VWWatercooled is temporarily only readable by logged in users to stop the constant AI crawling which is killing the server. If this is your first visit, you will have to register before you can read or post: click the register link above to proceed, registering will remove 100% of the ads on the page too.
Your Supporter or Sponsor Subscriptions will expire soon.

We hope you will choose to stay with us!

This means you should apply for your renewal now to avoid
any disruptions to your membership whilst the renewal process is taking place! NOTE: If you have an auto renewing subscription this will happen automatically.

Forum only readable to users

The server is being hammered again by crawlers, we are seeing tens of thousands of "users" online. Rather than give up and take the whole thing offline, I've switched it over so users must be logged in to even read the forum. I've also removed the ads completely once you're logged in since they are now basically worthless and annoying.

It's not ideal, but it keeps things online for now until I work out a better approach.
