We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

If we had a login-based forum, then in order to impersonate others, one would have to steal their password or otherwise bypass the login system in order to post as them. If you sent their ISP evidence of this, you could rightfully expect their net access contract to be cancelled...

Author: Paddy (Scotland) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:20:29 11/04/04 Thu I think that it would be a sad step to have to log into this forum. If one idiot is posting here hoping to change people's minds then he is wasting his time as people will not change their principles so easily. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Roberdin [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:57:40 11/04/04 Thu We could have a system where anyone could read and post, as we do now. However, there would also be a registration facility. You would register your name (freely), which would prevent guests from impersonating you without your password, which you would specify when you registered. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
