That's just my security mind speaking.

Yep. I didn't realize it was a security issue. You can't even see the dark alley or off topic sections unless you're logged into the forum. And Dark Alley has a password to keep people from accidentally viewing from work. But if you say it's a security issue, far be it from me to question that.

Yeah, you can swear here (preferably not in thread titles, but everywhere else is fair game)


And for those at work who don't want the language? There's an option on your User CP to add words to be filtered.

That is the best ever!! That way, people that don't like the word cunt, don't have to bitch to me about seeing the word cunt.

OK, I wasn't aware of some of the precautions already on that forum. Nor was I aware of the true purpose behind. One of the collateral jobs I have had was information security and sometimes it's something that simple that can completely ruin locking somehting up.

So is this where all of the cool people will hang out now? I can't figure out where I can upload an avatar?

it'll take a few min for the site to refresh, then you'll see the option on your User CP to upload an AV.
