Why is that website so hard to follow? Or is it just me? :?

There's no structure. Everything anyone could possibly want to say gets dumped into the same area, which usually causes other threads to fly off the front page and disappear.

Back when Elaine ran things someone asked why they weren't using something like phpBB, and someone else said it was because they don't trust third-party software, because "the government" may have control of it and include features to spy on the users.

Of course, telling them that phpBB is open source, which basically means you can look at the source code yourself and usually make modifications for personal use, didn't change their minds at all.

Of course, they'd probably be even more against the idea if they found out that I touched even a very, very, very small part of the code. Heh.

I did a very minor bugfix, which no one else had touched for about a year. Heh.

phpBB changelog.

I'm tempted to post there, since I changed my name to Candy.

I just don't like the not getting email responses, etc... Or is there a way for notifications?

It's more the lop.com spy/malware. You need the doors very tightly bolted when you go there.
