Question regarding how the board is working lately

[Katt]

Since you asked, yes I finally got all the spyware off my PC, although I have no way of really knowing where it came from.

Are you having trouble now though? If so, I will include it when I email alex again.

everything works fine for me, except that one pop-up when i log in, and the time not being correct but that is minor, everything looks good to me

Sometimes I get a pop-up when I fist come to the site, I changed my firefox settings so now it's just a blank pop-up, annoying, but not anything I can't live with.

I get message pop-ups that say document contains no data when I go from thread to thread...don't know if it's the site or my computer, but I don't get them anywhere but BBS.

Just have to say I'm loving the new avatars, nice to see some that seem to fit people's username/personality!

It could have come from most anywhere. I don't think there are too many places you can go on the internet where you won't pick up spy ware. I run Ad-Aware at least once a week but usually more. It always picks up something.

I want to thank the mods for not giving up on this place. I really like it here too. I never had any problems with the trojans or virii.

This place is running alot faster too. I am on cable and it flies now. Reminds me... I am SO glad that buzzing noisy fly hasnt returned hehe.

Alex has pretty much washed his hands of the site it seems. Other than to place pop ups, or ads etc, he doesn't have much to do with anything. I got tired of contacting him, only to be ignored, listening to people yell and scream etc, and he wouldn't do anything...so I told him to shove it basically lol. He never took away my powers or replied to me, I just stopped doing the job. The next time I emailed him about a problem (when the boards went down) he was right on it and emailed me back. When I emailed about the missing threads, he emailed abou that too. Sooo, I decided that this was my first board, I have invested almost 5 years of my time here, and I don't want it to go down. After talking with Angel, she decided to try it again, and now we want to do what we can to attempt to fix what's wrong with the place.

That's the long and short of it. Watch him read it now, and fire me for completely.

well that would tick me off too... Wonder why he abandoned BBS.. it use to be his baby.. now he just doesn't give a crap.. why?

Not one problem now.

Thanks for agreeing with me, Patch.

it still has everything it has always had, just not as much. The blockers, etc are picking them up that is until something is installed that hasn't been addressed by a blocking system or virus protection. This board will never be completely free of this garbage unless the owner stops putting all this crap in here. Until then, I wouldn't trust the board anymore than before. Its unfortunate as this board has been around awhile, but stopping wasting your time for someone else and open your own board.

Nah, I have too much time invested here and I would miss my friends. All other boards become, or start out as, bbs knockoffs anyway, so I'll just stay at the original.

Like I said in the deal forum: If anyone wants their information and account removed from the site, let me know. It's not worth risking your computer on if you feel the site is dangerous, and we don't want you to feel forced to stay if you are not happy here. You can pm me, or email bigbigforums@hotmail.com

We are doing what we can. We are letting more stuff slide, trying to get it more relaxed, and even put up a suggestion thread to make the site more enjoyable with EVERYONE'S input. We cannot do anything about how the owner has decided to fund the board. We can only do what we can to minimize that inconvenience and make the place fun and worthwhile for everyone. Thank you though, for letting us know you are still having trouble. That is what you were getting at, right?

Unless you click on the ads here, you shouldn't be getting spam, viri, trojans, or malware from here anymore. Even when I turn my Norton's off, i don't get anything from just coming here.

Is it me or is the boards running slower lately? I noticed last night it was really bad, it took minutes for a page to load or for it to post my reply. It's gotten better today, but it is still slow.

And can we request to Alex that the ads not flash? I don't care or mind the ads at all, but that flashing one where you can click and maybe win an XBOX is really distracting when you are trying to read something.

Other than that everything else seems to be going swell.

Thanks for listening to my input.
