It should be downloaded to a CD and placed in his casket when he's disposed of.

There is a trojan and virus on that site. If you go there you get infected.

It is Exploit-URLSpoof.gen trojan

If you did go there make sure you scan your system right away.

umm if there is a possible trojan on the site.

Wouldnt it be a good idea to kill the link rather then put everyone at possible risk for infection?

I didnt click on it but you know some will.

Rather be safe then sorry.

Cuz it's past 60 minutes I can't edit it to put up a big flashing warning.

Can any of you MP's slap on a view at your own risk warning, please?

ahhh the old time to edit limiter in action again.

I still say the best way would be to put it back the way it was and nail anyone who abuses it.
Or at least give us 24 hours.

I know I sometimes post things on the fly and see things I want to either correct or change even the next day.

Good example of this is the other night I was having problems posting and ended up posting the same post twice but hit "submit reply" and went to bed.
When I checked on it the next morning I saw it had posted twice and wouldnt let me get rid of it because of this time limit.

Skuzzy, please change it back.
Were there really that many people abusing it?
