.. for example in this case, enough verifiable intelligence in the form of forensic evidence to put the DDoS ingrate(s) in the slammer! Twisted Evil

Agreed!

I wasn't suggesting anything at all, just commenting that the allegation, true or not, laked anything substantive in the way of proof of veracity. I was a devoted BFer also, and appreciate greatly what they were trying to do, so don't misunderstand that. But it is dangerous to give credence to rumor and innuendo lacking anything more substantive than a couple of news articles with statements attributed but not verified.

When you fight a war, it is far better to deal from verifiable intelligence that you can rely upon, then subscribe to logical, but unproven, suspicions.

We had enough proof, PCBruiser. The reporters were just guessing.

It's a long story, and this isn't the time or place. Smile

Welcome back Paul & Robin. I never knew how much I missed this site till it was down. Guess you had your ups and downs and hope things can get taken care of and they get the ones that attacked you.

I hear that some folks in that general area of the world haven't been doing to well lately. See here for more information. But you probably already know about that.

Yes I was Paul.
Looking after the WinPatrol forum is one thing I do here but hey the program works so good no one is posting but about the listing in the add/remove.

Version 10 was a really good version too so no one posted but a couple people and I am talking about here and other forums too.

Bills done a great job on WinPatrol too and seeing how he even made it for Windows Vista that was not even out yet you know he did good.

He hee I came here many times but had to keep busy at other forums.
Bill even signed up and posted so guess he missed things here too.

Search seems to be pretty quick this morning. Still having issues with downloading pictures (such as the flag in my sig or the Premium Icon) taking their sweet time - or timing out. _________________ Bill, AFE7Ret Freedom is NOT Free!

Thanks Paul - do you have a tentative migration timetable - not just for my minor picture download issues, but until CCSP is 100% back to pre-DDoS (or final post-DDoS) configuration/performance levels? It seems we are nearly there. Are we going to see on our side improved performance once migration is complete and CCSP is fully up? _________________ Bill, AFE7Ret Freedom is NOT Free!

Donations and sponsorships is what we need monthly.

Has anyone thought about charging annually for the Premium Membership? I know sites like Experts Exchange do this. Maybe it would help generate more cash.
