Hey, nice av there...
Hey....what's up with all the crap? Seems like every time I come to this forum it's just filled with spam adds. Makes it really difficult to find the legit posts. What a shame.
Hah. I think some of you actually do believe the 'we' part of this.
There is a good argument for notepad, but then there's a good argument for dreamweaver too, as the notepad weenies tend not to go much further than a few tables.
They do tend to think they're super-l33t though. Funny.
Im posting from work right now, however, I can no longer post from home because I keep getting a message saying that malicious activity was detected from my IP address at home. Ive never posted anything like spam, and I dont have viruses or spyware on the machine (I have a mac, so this is most probable). Can we get this lifted?
Thanks!
:roll: Let the dickwaving begin
I don't think there's a need to reiterate the problems with it.. I'd just like to know if maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel..?
Personally, I think these rules are pretty subjective, and it somewhat undermines my confidence in the moderator's likelyhood to preserve free speech. I think that anything beyond blatant comercial spam, death threats, and stalking, should be guarded and preserved, and the posters should be confident knowing that they can fully speak their minds. Otherwise, a person could very well be afraid to say what's on their mind for fear of it being deemed inappropriate. This has always been the spirit of Fornits forums from the beginning, and I think anything less than that shows a bit of erosion of the core principal it was founded on.
For those of us who are technically challenged... why do sent message appear in the out box sometimes instead of the sent box? i just sent a duplicate response to someone, then found the original in the out box. Did I do something wrong?
And what about the tags . Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.
Another real bummer, which I hope can be fixed at some point down the line... I was googling yesterday and clicked an old Fornits link to a specific discussion and of course, was taken to the Index page rather than the post. That's really discouraging because there are old Fornits links all over the web.
