I just got a note from Jacqui Valerio. The TOBB will close shortly. They are working on it now. But the CI "now", hmmn, not sure what that means in real time.
So sad to see the ship drown like this.

Sigh...So sad that they really do not care about their (in my case, previous) supporters and clientele. The board was fun while it lasted.

What's up with the spam over there? They have always been getting affected, but this is like someone just gave up.

Ken,
Forum spam is up everywhere. This board gets 10X the number of attempted spammers we got last year. It's just that we have decent technology to fight off spammers, and they don't.

If they don't do it soon, everyone will just think they are protesting SOPA.
