Lets get this board moving!

I've added a few starter topics for this one, lets get this new board up and
moving, we're still in very early days.

Perhaps you're not getting much activity because:
1. This newsgroup is here, and is active.
2. You don't have to sign up for this newsgroup.
3. Nobody spammed me at my home address to invite
me to this newsgroup.

Who spammed you at your home address? Certainly not me, i have put just two
posts on this newsgroup about this forum and never emailed anyone personally
about it.

1. This newsgroup is here, and is active.

As is the new forum, a lot of subject get repeated in here unfortunatly due
to a short life of the topics - all topics covered are easily available on a
forum without having to access 'google' to see previous posts.

2. You don't have to sign up for this newsgroup.

Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything they dont want to, its called
choice. If you choose to join a troll-free environment discussing only pets
you can, but also staying on an often troll laden newsgroup is also your
choice.

No-body is forcing you to sign up to this one, its not asking for complete
address details just email, name and chosen password, email is then hidden
from sight unless you are wanted (by another member) to be contacted, its
also a members only type forum (I couldnt access it until I had signed up),
everyone can see an email address on a newsgroup

I'm really not interested in seeing advertisements, either
for magickal devices that cure all behavioral problems or
for dog "boards." I tend to assume the worst about people
who post them, like that they've got three anuses and stuff
like that.

I saw your posting on the newsgroup and thought you might like
to take a
look at www.pet-forum.co.uk. It is a new site that needs
people with
knowledge of certain animals and birds to moderate the forums,
take a look
and let the admin know if you are interested.

Well, isn't me, so I would appreciate you stopping the
finger-pointing. Try asking them instead..

I have stated before...I didn't spam anyone...did you know that if you visit
a website, your e-mail and ip address can be recorded automatically...I
don't know if something is set up by either the administration of that board
or by the software it uses, but resorting to name calling and saying I have
three anuses is quite childish and is also pointed in the wrong direction!

This is how you get spam. Not always by somebody emailing you.

I'm sorry you have got spam, but it isn't because of me. Please don't
assume.

You posted your advertisement here. This is a discussion
forum, not an advertising venue. I did receive the same
piece of spam that Matt posted here, however.

...did you know that if you visit

Your IP address can be recorded. Big deal. Your email
address can't be collected unless you give it out. In my
case I don't configure my email address into my browsers,
anyway, but it's really not as if I'm likely to be taking
security advice from someone who posts advertisements to
Usenet and who thinks that it's a security problem if someone
gets your IP address.

Hi,

I got that e-mail too! Plus I'm glad I didn't use my primary e-mail
account when posting on this board. The account I did use has been
completely bombarded with all kinds of crank e-mail messages & was
overflowing the day after I posted my first message. It is still
overflowing too, even though I empty it every day.

Anyway, enough ranting off-topic (dog breeds).
