What's With the USFA Web Site Forum?

Capt. John Fitzgerald · March 05, 2009, 11:49:17 AM

Just checked the USFA web site forum. Of the 15 posts on the first page, 11 of them are "spam" type messages from posters who list their locations as The United Arab Emirate, Bolivia, Romania, etc.. No body to these posts, just titles - cheap air fare, discount insurance and such. It's annoying!! Sure would be nice if USFA's forum board admin could delete this junk.

I e-mailed Gary and got a reply stating he would look into the matter with administration. Those "messages" are a darn nuisance, and that is me putting it politely!

Checked again this evening. It is now up to 12 out of 15. Looks like someone has set out to trash the forum. Frustrating!!!

Our current administration thinks we should lay our arms down and play touchy feely politics with the world including our own because they are all good people. The Internet is kind of like a lawless frontier, and we see how nice the world is with SPAM, CRAP, VIRUSES, & WORMS just to name a few of the problems. We should appeal to the very nice people and ask them to please stop their sensless SPAMMING. I am sure the faceless spines will play nice in the sand box from now on.

'PAM, CRAP, VIRUSES, & WORMS' ... yep,,that is exactly why ones computer has to have so much security that the security slows the computer down...and cost money ,,good money,,,to purchase and keep it current.

I'm almost to the point of supporting Capital Punishment for the above offenses.

Kill'em all, let Bill Gates sort'em out....

For those of you who may have been avoiding the USFA web site forum because of all of those annoying "spam" post, they have been deleted! Forum looks pretty good now and hopefully it will stay that way.

Someone at USFA is definitely taking care of it. That SPAM junk is ridiculous. What a waste of time.

You know, the anger that I feel towards this daily bombardment of SPAM cannot be described by words. I realize now why in the old days things got settled by a six shooter.

So far the forum looks like a waste of time and bandwidth. CAS city is still the place to get the best information on USFA products.

I have received some very good information from there so far. I hope it will continue as additional resources are always welcome. In the mean time I know it is frustrating for us as well as USFA.
