well said geddy, this forum was created for fun, but an increasing number of ppl seem to like abusing the priveledge. There are many websites, jokes and funny pictures on this forum, but websites whic annoy, cause harm and generally serve no purpose at all are not welcome here.
This forum has existed since november, and there was a previous forum I created b4 that. the main reason i pay for this and spend my time admining, designing and hosting this is for members to have fun. it is the number 1 reason. No 2 reason was to create a medium for members of [FuN] to easily communicate. My vision for this forum is a central place for like minded clans to create a community aswell as serve the [FuN] clan.
Alas with this comes the downside, users who insist on disrupting it, spamming and generally using it to increase post counts. We have grown into a community of over 500 members now (511 at tome of posting this). This I am very pleased that my time and money has paid off. But some members just need to tone it down a bit and think what they are doing before they post. Lucifer I have no doubt that you thought it was funny and had no malicious intention, but it caused great offense to some and some problems for other members with thier pcs crashing, if it could lock up my server which is a P4 2.5Ghz with 1.3Gb RAM it could cause ppl with much lesser machines big problems. I thought it was funny until it spawned the massive amount of windows which caused my network to shudder to a halt.
This message goes out to all members. We all want to have fun, but NOT at the expense of others. The Spamming of useless messages STOPS NOW, some of the spammers really want to get into [FuN], but by spamming your applications have been filed in the "no chance" bin. Let this be a message to new forum members, treat this community with respect, decency and honesty and your chances of joining us are much greatly improved.
This community is a fine community, it ranges from children to adults, male and female. we represent a wide range of cultures, beliefs and countrys. My objective in creating these forums has long since been met. I have a fine team of moderators and admins working with me and also a number of members from other clans who also help in this community.
