I got locked out of the forum and had to enter an ad-driven Captcha to get back in.  Something about being tagged as a possible spammer?  Any reason?  Joke?? 

Ha.

Haven't looked forward to a season this much in years.  Sure, i want to see if the new Cuban doesn't suck, but mostly I am so done with freezing my ass off.

57 degrees today, but colder in here by the lake. It broke 50 a few days ago and of course I saw the idiots out in their t-shirts and shorts. That's when I know warm weather is coming- idiots out in their t-shirts and shorts well before they should be doing that, but at least it's an indicator.

Roger Triemstra got evicted and is living in his Pacer, otherwise he'd be posting here himself. It's been buried under a foot of snow for several months and he's had to use a space heater via extension cords to nearby buildings (don't tell them) to keep warm.
Not a big problem on that score, but elsewhere he's not too thrilled about the addition of this colored fellow they've added to the WGN weather team.

IIRC, me thinks Loveland will be pleased with your current choice of baseball cards, Ang.

Maybe Dave23 purchased "ad free credits" as that's the only way to get an uncensored board on CAF.  Unless there's a glitch in the system that is allowing the BBF to be censor-free.

BTW, "ad free credits" for a forum cost anywhere from $8 to $20 @ month depending on the number of ad credits you need.  Not worth $100 a year to allow one to show off their limited vocabulary.  Especially when installing a free AdBlock on your browser eliminates the pesky adverts.

http://support.createaforum.com/8/censor-complaintsinformation-1053/


Edited to add:  Someone at BBF must have bought some 'ad free credits' as I opened my IE 11 browser (which doesn't have an AdBlock installed) and 'ads' appear here and on Phill23's Bulls board but there are no ads on the BBF.

The only thing I have purchased at BBF is a chat room, which no one uses...

dave23 ---

You might not have bought them but "Ad Free Credits" can be bought by any of the site's Admin(s) or Moderator(s).   There are six people on the BBF who have that option and and there are four people here that can so do for this site (Shoeless, JoeyC, Blacksox and me).  All they have to do is use the Admin sign-in and click on the "Forum Upgrades" which is on the left side.

I just checked again and with my  AdBlock Plus disabled, ads show up here and on Phill23's Bulls site while the BBF remains ad-free. Someone from the list of 6 Admins at the BBF must have purchased the credits as that's the only logical explanation for why the BBF is ad-free and is not censored.  Unless there's an abnormality in the C-A-F system that's affecting your site.

The only person who knows the 'Admin' login password is me.

According to the top left corner of my home page, there are 10000 ad free credits available. No clue where they came from, unless they were thrown in when I purchased the chat room.

C-A-F is not a site like leaguelineup.com as there is no unique "Admin" password here, Phill23's Bulls forum or on your BBF Forum.  Any person who is an Admin or Moderator on a site can purchase ad credits. That means not only you but CurtOne, mO, wmljohn, Pekin & grrrlacher have an Admin button on the BBF which would allow them to access the "Forum Upgrade" page where they have the option to purchase ad credits. If you're interested in solving the mystery, why not just ask those 5 if they purchased the credits?

Phill23 upgraded me along with jbn and a few others to Admin on his Bulls forum after the fact.  When I sign-in there using my original password I see an Admin button and when I access it, I see the "Forum Upgrade" option which would allow me to purchase ad credits or a chatroom.

I really don't care that we're able to use vulgarity on the BBF and can't do the same here.  Method might prefer the option to use vulgarity but I'm pretty positive that someone like Loveland wouldn't like it.

My only complaint is the C-A-F list is too restrictive and includes non-vulgar words. 

Like when I try to post this guy's name....



...I get Oscar **** unless I trick the system by typing Oscar G@mble.    I'd prefer to use an "a" than be forced to use the 'at sign' emoticon to identify the man.

Correct. You confused me when you referred to the Admin sign-in...I took that to mean that you had to be logged in as Admin specifically.

I can't imagine any of the other admins buying credits to simply enable the ability to curse. If memory serves, the ability at BBF began around the same time I had grrrlacher make config changes to enable tapatalk on the forum. The rest of the admins dont do much more than start a new topic once in a while, or approve a new user. I do all the archiving and other admin stuff.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!


I'm not sure if anyone else noticed as we have so few visitors at this site, this place has had periods of inaccessibility over the last few weeks.  Some lasting over an hour at a time.  The explanation for this is create-a-forum has been a target of DDOS attacks.

see their facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Create-a-Forum/141276692550178

So I recommend that if you haven't done so by now, bookmark Joey C's proboards site in case this place goes down for a significant period of time.

If you're wondering what has happened to the CWSFF logo and JJ's favorite photo that are normally seen at the top of each page, they are temporarily unavailable. 

They, along with many other photos used on this site, are stored at photobucket.com. 

That site is currently down.

I don't know if they're undergoing maintenance or are experiencing DDOS attacks or are in a 'legal dispute' like C-A-F was last week. 

Odds are the site will be back soon, possibly before you've read this post.
