I think maybe you should do something abou the METAs, JP. People might get the wrong impression.... just a thought.

Good Idea, could make the Scriptkiddy percentage drop with about 10 or 20 percent..
just my Euro 0,02
I know I've had a problem with it before. I went out of town a few weeks ago to visit my family and my only connection to the world was through my parents filtered internet provider. Their service classified AO as a criminal behaviour site and wouldn't let me access it. :( I filled out a form to have someone take another look at the site, and I explained that it wasn't pro-hacking, but rather anti-hacking, but I never got any answer back.
I was at my school, checking AO, only to find it blocked by Novell Bordermanager. I was given a little user/password prompt for what I must assume was an override. Figuring I didn't want to spend my 15 minutes of time trying methods of circumvention, I just typed in a username "WhyDidYouBlockThis?ItHasGoodForumsAndIsn'TIllegal" (or something of that vein, I don't remember)
Surprise surprise, next week unblocked? Who can say? It's nice when the technology coordinator's computer-laden office is a short walk away...
I didn't think that those parental thingys worked on METAs, I thought that they already had a huge long encrypted list of sites to block. But maybe that is just some of them.
While on the subject of headers... you could include a favicon header to each generated page :P
hmm i think JP could just get rid of the following META names..
coz those are the ones that attracts kiddies..Quote:
Hacking,Hacker,Crackers,Virus,Virii,spoofing,key logger and phreaking
I haven't seen many posts about "phreaking" ever. So maybe he should get rid of that anyway.
just my 10 c
JP is running a buisness of this site.. so he wants all the attention he can get?? works well as he reguraly has 200 + ppl on at one time
he earns most of his living of this to take away his flow of script kiddies / possible clients etc etc
RiOtEr
Yeah, I guess. That makes sense. So maybe taking script kiddies away from the site is a bad idea. But something has to be done, because some people are getting really annoyed and some old member are starting to leave.
not to mention the percentage of NON-SECURITY RELATED THREADS are going up..
What exactly are you trying to say? :)

exactly what i said.... i mean, i have no probles with non security related sites.. but lately they have been goin up too fast.. i mean.. u can barely find a security or a computer related thread on the front page..
Good Idea....... Less kiddies sounds good to me.....

I don't know what forums JP streamlines to the front page, but don't General Chit Chat and Cosmos go to the front page?
They all go to the front page, its just the most active posts...(also includes recent)
I think maybe he should filter out General ChitChat from the front page and thats about it....
But i think the problem is when someone DOES ask a security question alot of times it goes without an answer as to someone who asks how to hack hotmail gets aboue 200 flames..... thats the problem, less flaming more answering...
Didn’t jp already try taking chit chat and cosmos of the main page? I think he put them back on because people started posting non security related stuff in the security forums.
I understand that JP is running a business but if he lets AO decline into script kid central I think I would be bad in the long run.
