I know, I'm just having fun. Thanks for all your work.

Can't you write some code to parse anything that is posted and then delete it if it has inappropriate content?

well this is phpbb which is open sourced, i think theres some addon modules and updates that allow admins to do some other type of content filtering, etc....

worst case scenario is we could start doing manual validation, that way we truly know whos who.
let visitors have read only except maybe in one forum.

Dan!

The easiest and probably best would be a simple email verification process; read only until the get an auto-validate password in their email.

yeah been extremely busy with the new tele-arena, a beta of WGME, and MajorBID

i ported the entertainment stuff as it should have been done.
using galport wont do the trick cause alot of structure based calls to the data needs to be pointed at differently as well as the use of %ld over spr eliminates alot of nt crashes on dos ports.
gcomm's spr has bugs don arnel pointed this out to gcomm as well as datasafe did but it was never fixed.
not a big deal in dos modules but nt modules find the bug very quickly (grin)

the 2 i have finished now are fazuul and kyrandia with the tele possibly the next one, problem i have with that tele is no WL support and i may just release my own tele which supports WL, actions,etc... as well as a trivia channel with editors so not sure how to handle the galetl might just let it die

i did an NT ver of androids and supprt lotto too, as well as hangman but nothing up for d/l.

my demo system and file repository is down until i replace the p4 cpu in the machine but i did mirror my files on my entertainment bbs at azonebbs.dyndns.org

check there and let me know if ya found it.
