We see this type of spam-bot a lot. They make seemingly innocent posts (which are often slightly incoherent as it seems they assemble them from snippets of other posts, as macgeek417 said) but have a link to a spam website in their signature. This is purely to increase the Google page ranking of...

I think I'm going to close this thread before it veers even more wildly off topic...

It should still do that, though phpBB has always seemed to be a little inconsistent in whether it does or whether it doesn't...

It should show posts from all forums excluding the Lounge...

Again, maybe it was a slight over-generalisation on my part to discuss the membership as if it were two disparate groups. I know it's nowhere near as black and white as that in reality. The majority people here are somewhere in the middle. The "groups" I mentioned in my initial post lie at the...

Images don't work though...

You can get the 8-ball image with: For the bullet and TM, copy and paste these: • ™

It's certainly under consideration... I just forgot about it in my last post [;)] ]'>

Thanks for your feedback one and all. It's reassuring to know that so many of you care about this community, even if you don't all share the same views on it's place/purpose. First off, maybe it was wrong of me to make a jibe about closing the Lounge completely. That's not going to happen, I...

It's an automatic process, if the image is over 400px wide/high it's automatically sized down. Heh, so it does. I guess I never got around to adding it to the other one...

Hmm... [CODE] This one is larger and should be thumbnailed automagically on load: Seems to work OK for me! What's the URI of the image that you're trying to post?

It might be worth tracking down a IIsi ROM SIMM...

I guess you could call this an appeal to the members in question to change the way they post. I can't say whether it will change anything. I'd guess it probably won't, but I feel it's worth a shot before we take any more drastic action. I'd like to think that we are fairly consistent with our...

AHA! That's the one! Cheers [:)] ]'>

I'll see what I can do...

I can't remember the name of it... but I remember seeing someone's home-brew video compression scheme for some type of 8-bit computer (can't remember if it was the Apple II, C64, etc). Might be worth looking in to, if you can track it down. I'll see if I can dig up a link to it...

Cheers. What "bad luck" are you talking about specifically?

Well guys (and girls), I think everyone here would agree that the atmosphere on the forum (and the Lounge in particular) has been a little sucky of late. I thought I'd take a few minutes to write down my thoughts on the matter, with the hope that it'll make you guys think again about yours...

Please note that this forum is not intended to be used as a place to request downloads of copyrighted software for older machines. While we understand that it is hard to find some pieces of software, there are a number of repositories of older "abandonware" out there that are worth searching...

Just where ever seems most appropriate. For example, if it's about a 68k PowerBook, then it should go in the 68k PowerBook forum...
