Yet another one posting in another thread.
I wanted to post this in the proper thread. I have noticed a disturbing trend going on in this great forum. I believe this trend needs to be addressed and taken very seriously. I am definately not the only one noticing what has been happening. This has been going on for quite awhile but more so recently.
I only have to say this: please do not let the trolls win.
This forum is too good, there's too many good people on here, mongers and providers alike, to allow a few trolls to ruin a good thing.
Everyone needs to understand something. There are people on this great forum that do not have agendas like the rest of us. Their agenda is to create shit, to start arguments, to feed drama, to insult members and providers. They do this to impede the flow of information on this forum. They want people to get frustrated and leave. This is really what their goal is. They are religious zealots, LEO, anti-hobbiests, moral minority members, and just plain assholes that like to start shit.
They are not for us, they are against us.
They are winning, please don't allow them to win the war. Those of you that have been here for awhile, simply think of all the solid members that're no longer part of this great forum. Coincidence that they are no longer here, I think not.
If any provider needs photos
If any provider is in need of some new photos please let me know via PM. My basic camera rig that I take photos with cost over $1000 so I can guarantee quality photos.
I have done photography professionally on and off for years. If you are interested please let me know.
And this is why we should all be using separate hobby email accts
[QUOTE=Mister Pickles; 1303064]I had a similar experience with my email account over the past couple of days. I won't go into detail here because, quite frankly, I'm paranoid as fuck. However, I will say that whomever you send an email to is automatically saved to your contact list which means if your account gets hacked then the hacker automatically has access to all of your contacts so be sure to clean out your address book from time to time.
And this is reason #192 why I will never give my personal info to a provider. A situation like this could very well leave your personal info floating out there in cyber space exposed to prying eyes despite the noblest intentions of our lady friends.
Stay safe everyone,
Mr P[/QUOTE]They are DISPOSABLE. Just like a hobby phone. Trouble? Close it out & open a new one. Hell. Have a couple of spares ready to go. They are FREE. Do not keep contacts in the account. Keep a text document (NOT word or word pad. Use notepad and save the file with an extension other than. Txt. Then drag & drop it into notepad to open.) The wife can then click on it all she wants. And nothing will open it. Mac users. Come up with your own way to hide a file in plain sight. Am I paranoid? You bet. You should be too.
PS. Mr Pickles mentions his email client auto saves contacts. DO NOT USE THAT EMAIL SYSTEM FOR THE HOBBY! There are any number of free webmails that don't. A word to the wise on Gmail. Google makes it's $$$ by collecting information on YOU. If you are logged into Google. And this includes Gmail. They are keeping track of every place you visit. That is their fee for using their free service.
For all of you paranoid folks
How many of you were aware that everything you posted here before the forum changes was turning up on CityXGuide?

I wonder if that was the motivation for the changes? Spoofed or not, personally I prefered the old UI.
Am I just now seeing this feature?
I just noticed that each poster has his handle in white, bold letters, on his post, but the color barely stands out. It's almost invisible but is there. Don't tell me this has been this way all along and I'm just now noticing it!
Is this new?
