what is the deal with these x rated post titles that are popping up anymore? the one that i clicked on (because it had a reply) didnt have any links or anything just the title.

    Admin has a program that scans and deletes them every 15 minutes or so. They are auto-generated, and auto-deleted.

    Yes, this is a public forum open to anyone with internet access. They find a forum, program their computer to go out there several times a day and create a new account and make a post. We can't stopm them unless we shut the forum down, so rather than do that, admin just created an auto-delte program to clean them off.

    That's the best they can do other than closing the forum.

    Or I just lurk and delete them whenever I see them.

    Sometimes the devil is in the details. I haven't looked at any of them for quite some time but I did open a few when they first started showing up. There were links to malicious sites in the profile.
    I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

    You probably shouldn't click on things you know you won't like regardless if it has a reply or not.
    I know, I know. It's a radical idea. [:0]
