The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Bad news.....

That is very sad.  Maybe you can get on at a library sometimes, and or a friend's house.

Try Bluelight internet.  It's free (dialup, but free).  Or of course you could use the neighbors wifi if that's an option. :p If it's encrypted, talk to them and see if they'll give you the password.  If they won't, I'm sorry to hear you'll be leaving us.  And please don't send me an email/PM asking me how to hack your nearest wireless network.  If someone says no they mean NO. :neutral

I understand...hopefully you'll be able to keep visiting.. did your mom give a reason why she's stopping Internet service at your house?

Maybe you can use one of the free internets as well as maybe a friend's computer sometimes and a local library sometimes.  Not as good but better then nothing.

That's to bad, maibe you spent to many time there.
But have you talked to your mother about it yet? It could be just temporarely.
If it its permenant, well, you will have to find another way, librarys, a friends house or school.
Either way, good luck.

basically the only time i ever used the net was when i found this site........i'm only on the net for a few hrs (3hrs), and yes she could afford it because i offered her money to let the internet go on in our house.

I think my mum is cancelling the net because she barely uses it...

Ya, thats kinda odd that she dosen't use the internet that much.  I'm on it 24-7.  Even when I'm out of the house I use my Iphone to go online.
