EXTERRITORIALTM Message Board
~~~
Shit!*/Merde!*/Scheiße!*
~ E ~ This message board or forum, online since almost three years, and the first one on this site, was based on a script by Matt Wright. It is permanently closed down as per today. I am really and definitely fed up. I will not even keep accessible an archive of it, as I did with my first guestbook, which had to be closed down too. It does practically not contain anything of value. Should someone resent the absence of an archive, presuming censorship here, there is always the possibility to write to the webmaster and ask for particulars. No, the reason is that my message board was simply misused/abused for advertising instead of being used for serious discussions, and spammed with partly grossly illegal content (illegal kind of porn for instance, but even legal one had not its place here, especially if some of the links in the postings lead to dangerous software traps, which less experienced visitors of my site might fall into!) by unethical idiots, coming almost exclusively from the United States, a country, it seems, where there are more people around, more than anywhere else, to whom the pursuit of the dollar excuses anything (a "pursuit of happiness" a bit too trivial for my taste, and a sign of liberty without responsibility, a thing made easier by the Internet). Not with me! Some of it was maybe a vengeance by those in the porn business
who did not like my not allowing porn on this site and not understanding my good reasons for this (see Porno(graphy)/Sex/XXX/Adult). But the most noteworthy event was that the last couple of weeks, where my website had featured texts that were more strongly than before against the present American administration and its supporters, ended with the latest batch of spam coming from Texas, more precisely from Houston!
Preemptive warmongers, you can shove your Freedom Fries up your arse!*
One or more new forums will be opened on this site ASAP. They will be based on safer scripts that can be administrated more easily, with less manual work on the code level.
*The four-letter words I am using on purpose are a problem to Americans only (not all of them, of course), not to us Europeans :-). They will help to keep those not so intelligent, little educated, unliberated, anxious or freedom shunning visitors, who think it necessary to use software filters when surfing (and I am not talking of ad blockers or detectors of spyware or of abusive dialers, and the like), off this site, for their good... ;-)

~ F ~ Ce forum, le premier sur ce site, et en ligne depuis près de trois ans, sera fermé aujourd'hui. Pour clouer le bec à ceux qui en ont abusé. Pour plus de détails, voir mon texte en anglais (traduit éventuellement en français ici plus tard). Un nouveau forum, qui s'administre mieux (basé sur un logiciel plus sûr) sera ouvert dès que possible.
*Le langage fort utilisé ici sert un peu à effrayer les bigots d'outre-plouf (grands utilisateurs de filtres en navigant la toile)! :-)

~ D ~ Dieses Forum, erstes auf dieser Website, und seit fast drei Jahren bestehend, wird heute geschlossen. Um den bisherigen Mißbrauch endgültig zu verhindern. Näheres hierzu im englischen Text oben (wird vielleicht später hier übersetzt). Sobald wie möglich wird ein neues Forum eröffnet, das sich besser verwalten läßt und größere Sicherheit gegenüber Mißbrauch bietet.
*Die Kraftausdrücke dienen dem Seelenheil (und Ausschluß) einiger dämlicher Filterbenutzer beim Websurfen, hierzulande und besonders jenseits des Teiches! ;-)
