It's to be expected that with a larger, more diverse community. Most understand. 20:18:25 I still have <5 posts there and needed to post a URL. Worked around it; wasn't clickable, but anyone interested could easily cut/paste it into most browsers. 20:18:45 Spammers would want the clickable, of course. 20:23:24 nite 20:23:27 finding permissions stuff in phpbb is such a headache 20:23:29 nite 20:23:57 thanks for the work, will have to find something useful to say there. cya 20:24:05 --- quit: roarde (Quit: Leaving.) 23:59:59 --- log: ended retro/11.01.24
