Geeze! I go away to the World for 6 days (Yes, that is 4 trips since September, but who's counting?) and come back to find an annex has been built to combat porn! :-) I've been trying to follow threads to catch a clue, but some of them contain empty messages. Can somebody give me the Cliff Notes version?

Excellent Tigerlily!
Those that have been impacted now have a knowledge base for help in the "how-to's". Any questions, just holler!

Several people were receiving a deluge of emails for pornographic sites (the really nasty ones); and at the bottom of the emails it said that they had subscribed with their email addresses. What it also gave was the IP address of the person who subscribed them. When some of these people started talking, they realized this IP address was the same, and that it came from someone who was a registered user of Common Ground.

If I went to WDW four times in six months, I'd have to be sedated, I'd be so happy!
Sure hope you had a good time, Tigerlilly!
Did you see me at EPCOT on New Years Eve? I was wearing a yellow poncho...
