Zip slowly, medical statistics show that over 100,000 people are injured
annually by their clothing.

"We have discovered certain unsecure code in some sub-sites , which
resulted in Us taking down the site to restructure the installation in
general.

Unfortunately we had no time to put out information regarding this, and
we therefore hope that we will get the rscnet.org back online real fast."

Yep, they found out that web forums suck and recommend using usenet
instead. The five-year scientific trial has now officially ended. ;-)

Cheers,

oooh somehow I think that won't go unchallenged  ;)

Couldn't agree more. btw.

I know it's a labour of love for the guys who put it together and I
appreciate the effort and intent but I can never find what I'm looking
for in there, but I can find 50 different varieities of smilies...

You know what, that really makes all the hard work, effort and personal
financial investment myself and the other site admins have put into RSC feel
really worthwhile. Maybe we should just forget about trying to get the site
back online and pull the plug on the forum and websites we host for the
community.

Thanks once again for your support.

Although the comments about speed (which, as you well know, sux sox
nowadays, even if it's mainly due to server hardware and not RSC admins)
and not being able to find stuff (a lot of files are still missing after
months) did contain the odd grain of truth, as you well know.

But the downtime right now kind of reeks like hacker attack or major
server error. What happened?

Regards, Rudy

In fact, I can't believe my eyes.  Newsgroups better than the RSC
forum?  If that was said in earnest, I'm just about speechless. The
sharing of ideas and files - even if some disappear occasionally - and
the community spirit  is far better than what I find here.  At least
from my perspective.  How many car or track upgrades are posted here?
Or have I missed something?  Mind you I don't come here often, but this
reminds me of why.  And speed?  Until just a few days ago, it took many
hours for posts to appear.

There are no moderators here and if I want to wish your pets a painful
death or insult people it's a free for all.
Ah wait, I think that I see now what the attraction is.

You run a fine site and I, for one, would miss it terribly.

PS.  Usenet is OK though.  (when the wacko's leave it alone.)   ;o)

    Moderators are a double-edged sword, and have ruined many forum sites.
There's pros and cons to both formats.
