As some of you may have recently seen, we are getting some really sick registerants.  We are aware and trying our very best to keep it under control.  But this may mean stronger measures.  We will keep you aware of developments.

Do not fear your enemies.  The worse they can do is kill you.  Do not fear friends.  At worst, they may betray you.
Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.

Please note that I think I've figured out that our "sick" registrants aren't so much interested in having us view Angelina's naughty bits as gumming up our computers with a Trojan. The links he/she/it posts ultimately go to what appears to be a web site that automatically downloads an .exe file that you ostensibly need to view the advertised porn. The file is in fact hiding a trojan (you never actually see any porn!) - so IF one of these slips through, whatever you do don't go anywhere near it if you're on a PC!! Let us know pronto, and we'll remove the post immediately.

I have, upon occasion, had to look into a computer for material that is outside of the standards required by school district policy; it's kind of uncomfortable but it has to be done.
