    The only thing I miss in here is a few good emoticons. :)

    Anyone know if emoticons for usenet is a possibility or maybe even in
the works?

Why where you banned?

Personally I quit RSC because of their policy of pubicly attaching warning
label to their members. I got a warning for posting a link to a video that
one of the moderators claimed was copywrighted, when in fact the video was
public domain. When I explained that this false accuastion was the
equivalent of defamation of character, the moderators at RSC got all nervous
and asked me to re-agree to their policies, which I refused to do and I
quit RSC instead, asking them to delete all my posts, which they did.

As far as I know RSC is the only forum that pubicly adds warning labels
to it's members.

And, as we are all aware, being pubicly attached to your member can be
extremely painful!

    Yes, but it does seem like a fair policy, attaching a warning label to a
member, for any known to have VD. I suppose the leaking puss, ***, sores
and scabs is enough warning in most cases though so.....................

Note also that the RSC warning are yellow (low) and red (severe), which
seems appropriate. So RSC should be known as the Scarlet Letter forum
site.

Their site was shut down a long time ago because of complaints to their
ip host about links in their site, so they are a bit more paranoid than
most sites.

On the other extreme, there's Pirate Bay in Sweden, which I found when
looking for the NR2005 mod. I'm not sure what else they have there, but
their "legal threats" section is pretty funny.

language right anymore! lol.

It's funny you say that, considering I've been banned in the past.  I
guess not going around and acting like a martyr makes me some sort of
raging fan boy, huh?

How's the National Enquirer of sim racing magazines doing?
