Right.

Strange that there are nearly as many people who answered N/A for gender as females.

Do the cookies get deleted when you restart Firefox?

I don't think his account was hacked.

Thanks for sending me a copy, Matthew. It's great!

No.

I want to trade without a fee.

That mod doesn't show a full view of topics like "show new replies to your posts" does. It just allows you to add topics to a simple list. There are no "new" buttons or a "last post" column, etc. Pretty useless.

I agree that that would be better, but SMF doesn't support it.

I'm selling 125 BTC for USD at the market rate. I will accept Western Union, US wire transfers (not ACH transfers), or cash in the mail. You pay any transfer fees. I might accept other methods if the method is irreversible or you are very trustworthy. Smaller amounts (at least $20) are OK.

In order to collect more money for the creation of good forum software, the forum is selling ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page.

Ads this week will be allowed to contain any non-annoying HTML/CSS style. No images, JavaScript, or animation (no marquee or blinking). Ads must appear 3 or fewer lines tall in my browser. Ads will be prefixed with "Advertisement:". Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page. Ads may be rejected for other reasons.

There are 10 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a one in ten chance of appearing. Eight of the slots are for sale here.

The ad lasts 7 days starting from when I put it up.

Auction rules

Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC per slot. You must state the max number of slots you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all eight slots are filled.

So if someone bids for 8 slots @ 5 BTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all 8 slots. If the two highest bids are 8 slots @ 4 BTC and 1 slot @ 5 BTC, then the first person will get 7 slots and the second person will get 1 slot.

- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.5.
- The bidding starts at 0.5.
- The auction end time is 20:00:00 on June 29, UTC. Countdown. (The end time may be extended -- see below.)
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.
- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity, or if they could not possibly win any slots

If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the auction end time, then the auction will be extended by 30 minutes. If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the new end time, then the auction will be extended again, etc. The time will not extend beyond 6 hours total.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slot may be sold to someone else.

My guess is that he's using some sort of criminal proxy network thing. Maybe a botnet.

Temperatures are thankfully predicted to be pretty nice in northern Wisconsin.

I'm going camping starting early tomorrow, so these ads will not go up until late Saturday. (The ads up right now will end up getting a couple of extra days.) I also won't start another ad auction until then.

Let me just get out my checkbook...

I don't know why he bothers. His posts usually get nuked pretty quickly. No need for a sticky, IMO.

These are the IPs he's used, if someone wants to try tracking him down:

OK.
