Since I'm in the Eastern Time Zone in the US, the new year hasn't hit me yet...
I say, with 2002 right on the horizon, we stuff the old garbage that's plaguing the forums now and move on to a better year with actual productive stuff. Be gone with all grudges, forget past annoyances, and let's just get on with what this site's created for, and that's security on multiple OSes, application, hardware, and anything else...
So...who's with me on this?
Of course. ;)
Sounds like a good thing to do to start the new year
I'm there, dude!
Absolutely, the more security discussions the better.
Happy New Year!!
sounds good to me..... maybe I should post here more often
No, I don't think we should do that. If anything, I think we need MORE flaming in this forum. After all, it gives everybody something to fuss about, and it's SO entertaining! That's why I like oblio and chemical so much. They're always good for a quick laugh.
NOTE: Just so everything's clear and I don't get flamed, that was a joke.
Well, it's a great idea... making the forums more "on topic". I hate to burst your bubble, but it'll never happen. Just like the IRC chat will never be on security. We'll continue to have flame-fests, and "geniuses" like oblio and chemical TO flame. But it's certainly worth a try.
HaPpY nEw YeAr!

I have to agree with more security and networking posts (one must understand networking to a degree to understand security). I'd like to see more intermediate to higher end postings. Heck, someone posted a nice one on Kerberos and no one replied (I need to get my paper on Kerberos up on my website since JP doesn't allow for graphics).
Anyways, a happy new year to all. ;)
good idea.thats another new year's resolution that i'll try to stick to.........cross ya fingers............................happy new year!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, let's post more on security.
Of course, the forum descript for General Chitchat IS something to the affect of "talk about whatever comes to your mind"... And limiting that would violate the First Amendment to the United States Constitution ;)

Uh huh. And what if we're not from the US? Doesn't apply to us now does it? Although we have a freedom of speech in Canada's constitution things like Hatred are still not allowed as they can prevent the idea of enjoy of life.Quote:

Well, while the general forum is for 'whatever is on your mind', I would state that in the month I've been here, I've seen a whole lot more of generalized verbal abuse, people openly flaming other people, and otherwise stupid posts. Why can't people use the general board for "general" posts, instead of having to post how much they "hate" someone, post attacks on others, and otherwise high-school bullsh*t? I'll answer that for you...it's because A: they're on the internet and they can easily "hide" themselves from others, B: because of A) they don't have to really "claim" responsibility for their written actions, and C: they think they have this "freedom of speech".Quote:

As for your comment on violating the first amendment, write an email to [email protected] stating you want to do something bad to the president and you'll see just how "violated" your freedom of speech is. It's a matter of opinion and limiting a message board to get rid of the lame stupid dumbass posts isn't a bad thing. It simply prevents stupidity from being blatantly thrown around and just maybe, the site will get to a semblance of normal. This *IS* a security site, right? Not Jerry Springer on the Internet.
Sounds good, I'm up for that - a new and greater start to the year!

Right on! Keep the positive vibes going!
