I've made a few changes to the Blogroll, normally I wouldn't mention it but I'm making an exception in this case ...
My Warcraft guild's website is now off the list and I thought I'd better say why. You should be able to vouch for all the sites you put in a blogroll but because of security holes in the Mercs site, there's a very high chance that there will be something naughty in the General Chit Chat area. Too many spammers have the address and we have to delete probably at least 10 spam messages a day. Most of the spam is porn spam too. I usually delete it fairly quickly, if there's an "Iceangel" in the recent visitors list, that means I'm on the lookout. I gotta sleep occasionally though and it looks like the other moderators on the site don't bother deleting the spam.
So I've taken the link off the blogroll due to concerns over the content. We are testing a phpbb3 upgrade to the site but due to configuration trouble, we can't deploy it. The configuration trouble causes what we call "White Screen Of Death", where posts get rejected out of random. We can get around that on the phpbb2 version but not on the phpbb3. So we can't deploy phpbb3 with its security enhancements.
PS Also looks like my internet is knackered ... Will have to give Virgin Media a snotty phonecall in the not too distant future.
