    Hi,

    I'm getting a broken link for "the [path] path 1 28-06-2001 05:53 PM " on Humanities. Look like spam, based on similar poster and topic.

    Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

    What I want to know is why the post was deleted from the Boards?

    What was wrong with it?

    There was a decision taken on the Admin boards to deleted unsolicited ads from outside boards.ie

    That it came from a poster with one post to his name (the ad) decided it really.

    Its a fine line to walk but we have ads on the site here which we will never sell if people can just come here and spam their adverts.

    Boards is up for renewal soon and its another 5,000 quid out of our pockets. That tends to concentrate the mind on things a little....

    Sorry but our ad rates are extremely reasonable so theres really no excuse to abuse our hospitality.

    Btw, a decision was also taken to NOT delete ads which are in response to requests for information from boards users. As with all things, we'll make snap decisions on the fly and some people wont be happy... smile.gif

    £5000 for what? UBB license, hosting?

    Why not set up a donation option?

    £5000 is serious.

    Its been that since we started boards.ie year on year.

    Boards.ie is a monster. It eats bandwidth and would easily fill a 2 mb pipe so getting machine rental and b/w for that price is a steal but it doesnt make it any cheaper on our pockets.... frown.gif

    No you know why I go mental at muppet who try and wreck the site. Its personal.

    All of the above... hosting is the big one however.
