Tech update...
2005-07-18
The system's still sluggish, with the firewall using a lot of CPU cycles. I haven't found any little gifts left by our visitors, but I'll keep checking. Their IP addresses suggest they were from Bayern and Bratislava. I'm really tired of fighting off beauzeaux like them...

#11  Jan - no registration or other "outting" requirements (at least so far, lol), and you are very welcome here. So many of these interesting folks have been around so long, well, it's like family, lol! We can often finish each other's sentences - and epithets, heh.

Our very best wishes and thanks for your son's service - you are both honored here, I assure you.

We do hit the tip jar now and then, especially when we screw up and waste a bunch of Fred's bandwidth, lol! He's the best town sheriff on the 'Net - and the 'burg is a great home. We're glad to have you!

#10  Hey, I came across this site a few weeks back and have been loving the articles submitted and comments of everyone here. I've never seen a site quite like this one and feel very fortunate to have found it.
Which makes me wonder, are we supposed to register with you or send in our information so you know who we are? It seems like everyone knows each other in some way.
I'm a military mom, that lives in Colorado, and I've been trying to keep up with everything going on since my son is active duty. I hope that I haven't been intruding where I don't belong or anything. So please advise, otherwise I really do enjoy what you're doing on this site and if I can help by throwing a few bucks your way to help pay for another firewall or whatever I would be happy to (let me know how and where).

#7  Do the email thingy when asking for details which you wouldn't want the fuckwits to know. They're here, you know, polishing their fuckwit skills, lol!

#6  What sort of firewall are you using? A dedicated PC set up as such?

#5  Unfortunately, as we well know, the world is filled with beauzeaux. Keep on fighting, Fred. I tossed some coins in your cup too.

#2  Mr. Pruitt, I know you may be weary of that nonsense, but you're doing a great job here at RB, and I'm sure everyone would agree. A true class act, with wits and some real 'raw meat for the mind'; don't let a couple of retards drag you down, think instead of the great website you and the rainbow editors are offering to an undeserving world ! I'll hit the tip jar just for that. Thanks for RB!

#1  Revers IP, and complain to the ISPs - and talk to your provider to see if they can filter off those guys IP range at the upstream router.
