why does ATF need so much maintenance?

[WelshBloke]

This. If you're going to call him a racist, don't dance around it, come right out and say it.

Ummm Isn't Boomer the guy that hates Asians?

i like how people are calling out that stormfront site but everyone knows what it is lol. i have no clue what it is and had never heard of it until this thread, but im guessing it is a white supremecist forum based on the comments in here.

BBYT is the resident ATOT racist.

What's the Asian version of stormfront?

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

ahh, leave it to AT to act all innocent when 90% of the posts in those "threads" (you guys know the ones i'm talking about) could pass as SF posts.

I really don't care if you're racist or whatever but it seems like such a waste of time and energy to devote yourself or time to hate.

No other forums I've been on are as bad as this... and this is supposed to be a computer technology website.

There is more going on behind the scenes than you guys know.
Years ago, Evadman wrote a program that strips all the IP addresses, runs them through a proxy filter, than a search tool like Geobytes IP Locator, then through a program giving to us by google, written in conjunction with every major ISP and the Fed Gov. It maps all the IP addresses to a google map.
AT knows who you are and exactly where you live. It made it easier for us to catch trolls.

There a metric shit ton of data to go through. It's all done by a secret, invitation only Distributed Computing team. It takes a lot of work/tweaking.

Highly experimental but working great.

There are buttloads of other forums running VB with more members and more posts. They need less maintenance and somehow break less frequently.

Would an annual fee help matters? If only 5 dollars?

It would help as 99% of the posters would no longer be around thus no need maintenance.

That was not supposed to be let out of the batcave. I am disappointed in you olds.

Meh, it got out when the members got in. It's like closing the barn door after the horse escapes.

I actually think that is pretty cool, and gives me a lot more respect for what you do:thumbsup:

Agreed and another reason I love the FS/FT forum here. They'll sniff out trolls quick.

 

[Mike Gayner]

lol i like how you threw that in so casually. trolling is a art indeed.

"An" art, moron

This is actually a good question. I'm going to run it up the flagpole and see if we can get some kind of answer.

 

[EagleKeeper]

Schedule it down about 0200 Eastern time on a weekdays.
That gives the West Coasters a chance to use it in the evening and get it operational before the gangs show up the next AM.

Now if it also requires human monitoring; then that timing should be adjusted for if possible.

 

[BoomerD]

I know next to nothing about your beloved boomer. Just seems odd that he would defend this forum over someone mentioning that it is racist. No one said it needed to be shut down yet he acted like someone's freedom of speech was being stomped on.

I'm not defending the site. I find them to be offensive as hell...but it seems like around here, any time someone finds something to be offensive or doesn't agree with their views of the world, they go on a rant about how bad it is...
Like I said, it's easy to defend free speech when you agree with what's being said...it's when you hate what's being said that it can become more difficult to defend.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally...some more equally than others.
