The Mother Board

Me and Dad were talking about this place the other week so I thought I'd pop my head in. Nice to see the regulars are still around!

EDIT: My sig is still alive! I'm running Intel now. Who would have thought we'd see the day!

As Pette said it's already started here. IIRC the area I'm in is one of the last. I've already got a freeview (digital) card in the PC after having issues with the usual set-top-boxes.

I like the idea of the US govt. subsidising the boxes though

ok, so I'm not sure on the coding required but what if posts are banned if they are the users first and contain an external link?

3 simple steps to solve this problem are: 1. A probationary period for all new comers, where their posts are moderated before being made public.
