Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: (Human) spambots are back :(

Looks like the wall of obfuscation is starting to crumble a bit; getting quite a few dodgy registrations each day again... :/

Re: (Human) spambots are back :(

This is not concerning spambots but I do not want to open a whole thread for this...

Is there a reason why the site is so slow in the last days. Sometimes it even does not want to post my posts - had to rewrite two of them and send them again. And then it takes ages to open pages ...

This is NO complait just a mere observation I wanted to share with  Hierarchy and Mantidom.

Had similar issues.... even that the whole site would not start up... Not a complaint, just something I noticed!!

Heya Sahi, very well thank you! Just finished reading Bobby Dollar so I thought I'd pop in and see how things are going.

Re: (Human) spambots are back :(

Yes, that's very much spam. (Another forum I moderate was completely inundated with "watch movies free online" spam until some really strict filtering was put in place. Let's hope we won't go the same way!)
