Your anchor. Due to abuse only ROs can use PM

My fault. Sorry. Maybe Les will reconsider and just block MY access to PMs and allow the rest of the group use PMs. Or, maybe I can make a promise to Les that I will not abuse the PM feature as I had before.

I'm telling mom on you

Why is it that the anchor payment becomes the leverage for everything, even though everyone keeps pointing out that it's a donation, not a requirement to run the site? Lately, every time someone says something that someone doesn't agree with they are berated for not having an anchor. I obviously don't have an anchor, but I'm sure some day I'll get one. To date I've been content with the limited access to things like NBR and such.
While I agree that Africa's approach is not the best, I can't say that I disagree with his intent. Les, would it be a royal PITA to put out a post simply stating a change like this when it happens. Seems it would take less effort for everyone than the current method of letting everyone b**#ch about it for weeks. FWIW, I disagree with the management approach of punishing the group for the actions of one...but then again, I don't have an anchor, so I doubt my opinion matters much

Lighten up...the anchor thing has been thrown around here so much it's the fastest way to have some fun with this. It's the same as when someone asks a question on here for the first time about 20 people chime in to say "take a safe boating course." We're here trying to have some fun and whether you have an anchor or not you're welcome....maybe seeing the familiarity of those "anchored" on here will add to your enjoyment and want to contribute. If not, no biggie since Les is very willing to host much of this site for free....
Africa, rommer is 100% correct. Not only are you violating the guidelines that you agreed to honor when you registered, you are using my bandwidth to advertise your "site." That is unethical. The PMs were shut down for non-subscribers not just because of Bob. They had been used to send spam, including ads for medicine and other such garbage.
Everyone has access to most of the forums for free, including the classified ads. If that's not good enough, I'm sorry but I won't have our participants subject to abuse and spam because someone doesn't feel like subscribing. Again, if all the free access to experts and others with extensive experience isn't good enough for you, then you'll have to find another forum more to your liking. But don't abuse this one just because you object to the policies.

I was starting to like this guy from other post, but how full of it can he be - he says he wants/needs PM's but wont pay for the function, but says he well spend 10-15k a month for a OC12 pipe -
I think he's smoking something in that pipe
He has a hosted server at one of those all you can eat places that promise you everything and give you nothing.
Has a domain based on his first and last name and it's not even set up correctly, generates 501 internal server errors!
