Well put Nigel. This is your forum and I think you are doing a great job. As far as virus and firewall, anyone on the net today with out protection is risking their PC and others.

Here is another firewall that I use and like and it is free, http://smb.sygate.com/buy/download_buy.htm.

Keep up the good work.

Future of the forum

Well, I have been away for a week or so, only checking the forum, and my email every other day. To be honestest, I am quite appalied at the pathetic postings.

Yes, there were a few adult links posted (which I normally remove as soon as I see them or someone reports them), but only a few. These were far outweighed by all the bloody whingers posting messages about the forum going to hell , and needing more moderators, membership etc.

ONLY 3 PEOPLE followed the rules about invalid postings, and actually bothered to email me to tell me about them.

To re-iterate things for you people who really don't get it:

1 This is my forum, I am the moderator, I use the definitions and rules at the top of the forum. Most people agree with and adhere to these, if you don't you are not welcome here.

2 There is no membership, and people can post 'anonymously', but their IP and routing information is logged, so I can track who they are. (Serious offenders have been dumped from the net after reporting to their ISP, and 1 was reported to their local police). Requiring membership puts people off joining and posting, I want an open forum, where anyone can post, providing they follow the rules.

3 'Topless' and 'nude' links are not allowed unless there is some wetlook involved. If there isn't then email me and the offending message will be removed.

That's it people, if you still don't understand, then I give up.

This forum is run on own of my dedicated servers, for free, it takes A LOT of bandwidth, and it takes A LOT of my time to run this, all done for free, I get very little support, and a lot of grief.

Oh, and one last thing, all you bloody irresponsible people surfing the net without a Firewall or AntiVirus - not only are you risking the contents of your own PC (which I personally don't give a shit about), but you are making your PC available for anyone to use to propergate viruses, Spam, and Denial Of Service attacks. Install a free software firewall such as ZoneAlarm ( www.zonelabs.com ) and an AntiVirus package immediately. You are not welcome on the forum otherwise.

If you don't do this, and you get infected, then tough, we we not want to know about it. I reserve the right to add code to the forum in the future to block access to people who do not have this protection. You are contributing to the current mess on the Internet. Be responsible.

Nigel
