Does anybody realize how many new people joined in just the past 2 days?

Something about 81 people signed up on Saturday and Sunday.





So where are all these great political forum people with questions and answers?

81 new members in 2 days, this place outta be jumpin!

Probably as bunch of spam-bots mixed in with a few genuine members.
I get about 20 spam-bots a day in TWM and hardly any other traffic at the moment. They're kinda like bunnies - F*cking everywhere!

Thanks for the effort Sky, but The lovely Karen is right. It's prolly a bunch off bots that want to sell us v1@gra. Luckily there's all kinds of traps set to automatically ban them upon entering.

That's a shame, I was just thinking I could do with some Viagra. Then I saw the Vital and Important news about that young hussy dressing inappropriately and causing the pilot's joystick to lose control and realised that it wasn't neccessary.....

I'm real. (and suddenly have nothing else to say)

Welcome to the Board Boot!
Feel free to comment when ever you get the notion.

Welcome.

Hiya boot. Welcome.

My company just issued an internal security alert on PHP. It said there are lots of vulnerabilities and to upgrade to 5.2.4. The gathering storm could be worse than spam, especially given that it's fundraising/hacksoring season.

Looking at news from outside sources, I see a lot of newly-reported vulnerabilities in certain PHP apps but nothing in the language itself (maybe it's all fixed in 5.2.4?). My company does have a history of issuing overly-broad alerts. They killed the entire SNMP protocol (at least, our use of it inside the company) because of problems in M$FT's half-assed implementation for Windoze.
