August 1st, 2009 by kteck | Comments Off | Filed in General

Sorry for the lack of my personal touch posts… i have been busy working on things that will come to light soon hopefully. I hope mattatobin’s RSS Digest posts have kept ya reading.  Here are the things that have happened in the last while:

  • Planned site redo – Local server copy done ready for transfer
  • Bully: Scholarship Edition (PC) Videos – 2 out of 21 uploaded to youtube
  • Broken Macbook – Sent in for repair… waiting for status
  • Wasted time – MANY hours in the last 2-3 days spent trying to get onto the GMod Tower server (always packed)

Anyway that is what has been keepin me busy… here is a sneak peak at the planned site redo :)

Spammers & StreamDesk

January 23rd, 2009 by kteck | Comments Off | Filed in Spam

There is one thing that has gotten worse over time… SPAM. Spam in email,forums,blog comments,link backs,web forms,news groups and many other places. Nothing worse than waking up to spam on your site/service of choice.

For me it is worse…. Due to spammers I have been forced to take the auto posting of StreamDesk requests to the pending requests page. I can’t be a portal for spammers to abuse… im not doing a service to my adsense, users, & anyone who visits site if i allow the asses to post their crap to the pending request page.

Until further notice ALL requests to Streamdesk will have to be appproved by me in order to be posted on the site… If you dont like this support your local spam legistation or any other anti spammer services near you. Don’t blame me for this…. I didn’t want to do this but i had no choice.
