Now you get ads to buy non-Toyota vehicles. As I type this there is a Dodge RAM ad at the top of the page. Are they trying to tell us to leave & go elsewhere?
I am still getting no ads! I could live with a few, but for awhile -- even with FireFox -- there were a bunch of video ads on the left side that basically crashed my computer each time. Then, something happened with FireFox -- maybe it was me -- and no more ads.
no ads on safari with ka block. i offered to take danny up on his paid membership, but nothing but crickets. chirp.
There was a real outcry from advertisers when Apple released the latest version of Safari. I was lovin' it!!
Well, I am. What can a plain old member do to delete threads and users? I volunteer. Anoint me I shall only use the power for good.
Feel bad that spam flood is coming from China. Or appears to be. Thought I was only one here who even knows our humble abode exists. hkmb does not count. He's a visitor (mentally say that word in some malicious accent) Even though his language skills dwarf mine
I sent a volunteering email to 'contact us' further down this page. Ray, do the same; you can have California Norte
I also volunteered, but heard nothing yet. To bad we can't find a way to do a reverse spam. Attack back !!!!!
There was something like that. I read about one IoT botnet that patched infected security cameras. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
Reverse spam would require software knowledge so far beyond mine, I can't sketch the edges. All I want is a delete button. Pew pew pew. In simpler times, when telemarketing was top spam, I got calls from LA Times newspaper asking me to subscribe. I let monologue go with just 'yes' 'oh' 'wow' as stimuli in response. Finally the money question "so can we sign you up?" "Sorry I don't know how to read" (not the only lie I ever told, sadly) Shut 'em right down
LOL!! Reminds me of a coworker who got a call from Sears years ago offering a free estimate on vinyl siding. She said, "Sure!" They were kind of upset to come out and find that she had a brand new brick house.
I think our current moderators were chosen to cover the US time zones. Somebody needs to tell Danny the Internet (and PriusChat) covers much more than just the US. Restricting the site to North American ip addresses (Need to include Canada) would exclude many valued users here.
