Challenge of the Poker Forums !

speaking of brick walls, actully you can log on as guest even if you are banned.

hey but what do I know I only ran a billboard system for 3 years.

[rookette22]

This is what I got when trying to log on: Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!


Yes, what exactly do you know? You're definitely wrong about this!

[BrianSwa]

guest passes dont log on rook, (bangs head against wall). Take off the auto log on then just go to the forum.

its just like on here when you go to bottom of website it has 2 catagories guest/user.

[BrianSwa]

and I want to clarify for those reading going yea right Brian ran a forum....


no it wasnt a forum it was a BBS (billboard system) I was the sysop (system operator). It cost me about $100 for this system and took about 6 months to get up and running. It was not a already built system and I had to do alot of work with it.

if I remember correctly it was a wildcat system and it was kinda like a Mini america online. Had about 100 users, single line meaning only 1 user could be on at time. Had a games section, post section and adult section was in works BUT I found it was more trouble then it was worth. See when you run a BBS you are responsible for everything and if users would upload pics to my system I would have to scan all them 1st to make sure they wernt underage or something. Had A guy I knew that missed 1 pic and ended up getting busted.

It was fun but also a pain in the ass trying to do all that crap every day so I kinda feel for TP sometimes when I think back.

[BrianSwa]

just looked at system, you are right he has higher security then most forums and guests have to register 1st like you said. sorry my bad.

[rookette22]

Well it was nice of you to admit when you're wrong....heck I've been wrong so many times I lost count lol

Maybe we'll never be good friends; but we can sure try to get along can't we?

I mean look at me and Dogg; we hated each other and now we're ok. Hmm ...I think?

Let me be the first to apologize to you too, ok. Just want to point out to you that I didn't hate your opinion of the tourney idea; I hated what you said about ppl not being able to afford them. So ...Sorry 'bout that. Let's try for TP & the other members, to get along ok?

[BrianSwa]

trust me I have no problem admiting when im wrong around here done it about a million times. Never had againt you rook, I made the comment in general and you took it personally. If people cant make general comments then well fredom of speach just went out the window.

Im fine with trying to get along but I tell you what I really am afraid to give you advice on anything like I think many others are. I mean damn look at this thread its like 100 posts long on really nothing dont you agree? this was way way way blown out of porportion. I know I for one wont off my opinion to you or give you advice until im sure you can take the negative with the positive.

and I know you just said it wasnt about the opinion but it kinda was because what I said tied in with it. Im fine though but I dont want no kissie kissie save that for TP.

Hey...ever watched 'Seinfeld'? That was a "show about nothing".

What a hit that was !

Least it woke up some people in here. Gordogg seemed to enjoy it. Maybe we should start charging! lol

If it's an extremely high security forum, it could ban you by mac address. But, that's hard to do and unlikely. Just tossin in my two cents on the thread about nothing.

[rookette22]

Read that! Did you say LOG ON????

Only repeated what you said. As for guest viewing that site you can't. Once your IP addy is blocked you can't view nothing on there. I'm pretty sure of that and I never ran a forum such as you did. If I were to still be able to get on there, as a guest; then banning me would be silly don't you think?

[BrianSwa]

not sure about all sites like I said I set my own stuff when I banned people from my BBS. Unless things totally changed, we have had people banned from this site and log onto with different names so obviously its not by your IPA adress.

and Like I said didnt run a forum ran a bbs.

[rookette22]

Yes it is by your IP address Brian.

They might have what is known as a 'dynamic IP address' : this means you're able to change your pc's IP address.

If someone has a 'static IP address': this means you're not able to change it everytime you log on to the internet; this type of address is mainly used at work or school.

I may be 'crazy' but not wrong on this.
