OTs : ridiculuous suggestion. You're suggesting you are to decide when someone else's opinion, expression, whatever is deemed worthy of posting. Sounds mighty arrogant and self-centered to me.
What you may see as irrelevant or off-topic is how someone else likes to express themselves in reaction to a post. Who are you to rule that that expression is unwanted?
And what you may see as cluttering of the forums may be a forum that a lot of people ar perfectly happy with.

The whole idea is a form of censorship and nothing more.

If you guys are so adamant about how you think posts should be, fine, you go ahead and keep yourself to your made-up rules. In the meantime let everyone else post the way they want. It's a free internet after all.

FAQ / Re: FAQ - the most common questions and answers

 I did a bit of quick network monitoring but it looks like it's not using a fixed port, unfortunately. Here's what happened when I ran, closed and restarted achat:

  • while achat ran it sat on UDP port 55405 (I think)
  • after shutting it down and restarting, the VersionUpdater was using UDP port 58479
  • when achat itself was running again it used UDP port 54835, i.e. not the same one it used previously

Conclusion: it's picking new ports every time you run it. I've no idea which range it is picking its ports from, so you could either open up everything above 1024 or try something a little more restricted like 53000-56000 and hope that that suffices.

The Support page doesn't say much about it either unfortunately, it simply says something like "allow all UDP traffic on your router".

Any suggestions from the ATeam maybe?

Another one to avoid: belle20 (free user),  "mechelle.mateo71@yahoo.com"

I got approached by belle20 today. She first asked me if I had yahoo, I said nope, then asked if I had a credit card.
She claimed it was for age verification for her webcam site, but that it was all free and legit! Yeah right.
