Really Weird Cycling Forum Practices.
Many of the cycling forums are being installed on a single server site. They are using the high security password system that works so strangely that I have simply stopped using them.
I will register on one of these forums and when my system asks me if I want to save the log on information I will respond YES. Then the next time I log on it will say that my log-on information is incorrect. Now really, you have to ask yourself - WHO is going to sign on as me and make an entry into a bicycle forum? Half of you guys wouldn't even read my postings to begin with. So why would you want such a tight security system that even automatic log-ins are questioned? So, I've pretty much stopped talking on any of the groups except here where I can REALLY irritate people. |

Then the next time I log on it will say that my log-on information is incorrect. Which forum? We had a newish one open here a few years ago and it just didn't like my sign-up on any of the times I tried, so I've ignored it for years until recently. It seems it was a common problem and they finally admitted that they were blanket black listing IP ranges. So if your internet access came through an ISP/RSP that allocated IP numbers from a pool, you could easiy be using one used by someone they black listed(aka disagreed with their views). I've also had problems on other forums where the sign-up is fine, but only if you use the exact same browsers & version and IP. No VPN, no different browser, no javascript/flash/etc, different image test, going wifi instead of wired, hair parted the wrong way, etc, when you return. There are also a number of forums where I just throw my signup email address into the "forgot my password" box and wait for a new password that I cut and paste. Then there is firefox which can somehow swap what you've just entered for an old combination. Now really, you have to ask yourself - WHO is going to sign on as me and make an entry into a bicycle forum? Half of you guys wouldn't even read my postings to begin with. So why would you want such a tight security system that even automatic log-ins are questioned?

There are no withdrawals from a sales tax account, only deposits, so what exactly are we securing and why? The peace of mind of the mindless? Plenty of proprietary information including EIN, sales volume, personal or company financial information. Some people are super private about their tax payments -- or lack thereof. -- Jay Beattie. |
