Suggestions
Hi,
Nice to see an independant SpyBot Forum away from Net-Integration
Could I suggest a Test area for new users to scribble stuff, that's usually de-facto for most Boards.
I'd also like to see a Board News area, too, upcoming events, etc.
Regards,
Silj

Since siljaline suggested a "... a Test area for new users to scribble stuff ..." and had to post that suggestion in the Spybot-S&D Forum, perhaps a "Safer Networking Forums" "Suggestion and/or Feedback" area (forum/sub-forum) would be appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,

Are these forums permanent?
I can only agree if these forums are intended to be permanent.
No one has addressed that question at this point and if Net-Integration returns, I'm not sure it's a good idea to have two 'official' forum sites. The more that is built here, the harder it is to close it down if that is the plan.
Until this determination is made, I'd keep the complexity here to a minimum. I'm treating these forums as an emergency temporary replacement until it is officially stated otherwise by Patrick himself.

Thanks Zenobia, I hadn't, though that's what I had assumed.
It still, however, doesn't address what is intended for these forums once NI is fully back in operation. It would be nice if Patrick would address that so we know how much effort should be expended here.
The other thing that would have been appropriate is for Patrick and/or Eagle1 to have posted a simple pinned thread to that effect here. Speculation can't occur if official notice is given. There is the following posted at NI, but that won't even be reached by those who've saved a direct link to the NI forums and don't realize why it's broken as we did.

I had some thoughts/concerns/questions too. I posted to that thread at SWI as well as @ http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=17226
I wasn't going to raise any off topic querries here but since there are already a couple of threads on the subject, there are some very puzzling aspects to all this going on.
Like;
Why did NI move to a low level host instead of just to another box as would be standard procedure with any server farm?
Why were all other domains shut down without even notifying the owners/users.
How could any kind of crash cause this kind of down time? My box could completely burn up and I'd be back in a matter of hours using my backups.
Since it seems totally unfeasible to try to maintain two support boards, why this board?
Sorry guys, these kind of questions just tend to fuel the curiosity in me as well as others.
