[Kori Ellis]

If you lose a few posters in the process that's fine by me.

Careful, those might be your last words.

And these could be mine.

I hope I'm not on the chopping block. The political forum would turn in to a Liberal echo chamber.

[jmard5]

Thanks Kori!

I left the Political Forum long ago because several peeps there are insanely uncivil. They can't discuss anything without resorting to ad hominem attacks, derision, bullish behavior, crassness and smug cynicism - it already is a liberal/socialist echo chamber... Most importantly someone there threatened my livelihood - so that pretty much made up my mind. Again, many there are just jerks of the highest order.

Hey Kori, are you guys updating to the lastest vBulletin version? Just curious. Thanks!

[ismael-robert]

Or pink a few

[ElNono]

I know. We are fixing that.

Kori Ellis

Talking about that. Sometimes, if you go to google.com and search for "Spurstalk.com". Click one of the links, and it'll take you to this link that tries to download a virus:

http://myfilestore.com/download.php?id=fe7e5c59

So you might still have a virus somewhere there in vBulletin, that's looking for google.com as the referrer. Just letting you know.

Apparently, the information you need to get rid of it is here:

I second that. It's usually on the off times I google instead of hitting bookmark.

Awesome. This place will thrive with all 10 real accounts.

This message is hidden because RD2191 is on your ignore list.

We're migrating SpursTalk to new servers in the San Antonio area. The forums will be down for approximately 24 hours beginning tonight at around 9 PM CST. The downtime could be shorter or longer than that, depending on how smoothly things go.

Thanks,

The Management

Can I send the gang Chinese take out while repairs are taking place?

Thanks. timvp will look at it.

We are doing that, but not tonight. Sometime soon though.

Bring the cinnamon whisky, IMO.

That will likely never happen. Most trolls mask their IP, so it's impossible.

[ElNono]

Thanks. timvp will look at it.

Some additional info here:

EDIT: Also a good way to test this is to use a browser in Incognito mode that doesn't save cookies, go to google.com, search for spurstalk.com and follow the links... the issue happens much more often when cookies are off.

Are you trying to drop the panties of some of the krew members?
