Helps keep the community alive!  Its a funding source.

I realize it has benefits to finance.. Sometimes you need to pick the right ad (?)

So far, in my country, I only see Moroccan real ad's.

We run a mix of different ads.
In general we run:
20% sponsor
30% Google
30% affiliate network
20% mixed other ads
The mixed others are often directed specific at a country, as would Google be.
In general we would prefer to have 100% sponsored ads, but companies who wish to advertise are not too often found.

I have one question, do you receive benefit from the rogue, infected ad's as well?

Nope, we only have to see where they come from and they are reported to the network. Then the guys trying to spread malware are punished by law.

Give me a few moments to stop laughing

It's not really something to laugh about. He's actually correct on that.

So It's how you care about users safety. I can understand if it hard to fix or you just don't know what to fix and how, but you know this all. What the problem then?

It's being actively dealt with already.

Then you don't get what the "correct" part is.  The XSS is an SMF vulnerability due to... some really big risks left open in short. However, I'm laughing at the fact that he is beating a dead bush, and going all wikipedia. Practically everyone has been aware (who works with SMF on an administration level) of the XSS issues, and they have been slowly patched up since before 1.1.1 SMF by the developers. Not to mention, these exploits are not the same as most common skid exploits where its click, click, done.

It isn't hard for pretty much anyone, especially for the owners. They are professionals in these fields, and I am too am a professional in the field of web development and I highly trust that my security over my account and personal information here is secure and a very high priority for the owners, leaders and even all of the members of Administration on every level. So have no doubts that something is being done, or has already.

You mad bro. I used link to wikipedia for let USERS know about that, i don't think that everyone knows what XSS is. And this XSS is not at SMF.

l0l web developer fight.

Alright, Humm i have been in a wierd situation with the Windows Technicall support so i'll explain my story.


Was playing as normal one day when i recived a phonecall from a weird number, i picked it up and they started to tell about themself, "Hi my name is hbalbalbal im calling from here and there" and i was aha alright how can i help you. Then they were talking about Malware spyware and how harming that can be and so on, They told me to go and search for my computer logs and so on, So i did it and found some red crosses which mean "Something is wrong". So i told them about it and so on. Then they asked me to check my CLSID code from the CMD on my computer and he started to read my code and everything was correct. Then from nowhere the subject were changed and she asked me do you got a bankcard with you, I was like no i dont sorry and she asked how old i were so i responded 17, They were like Oh my god , Oh my god in the backround, And then they were talking to eachother in diffrentlanguages and they putted the phonecall on hold serveval of times so i couldn't hear them and so on. After all i said that they shall call back when my mom is home. And then the conservation were finished.... Very strange phonecall and im asking you guys if you have been experiencing any kind of this shit?

Would be awesome with some respons.

[Teddy]

You mad bro.

Real mature, I'm sure with this maturity you've gotten far in your career.

l0l web developer fight.

I don't fight with kids, actually, I don't argue with anyone if I can help it. Confrontation isn't a solution to problems more a road to more problems.

Hardware is still better

Without software, hardware (for PC's) would be useless. So one can not be better as they complete each other.

Are you sure it was Windows Technical Support? Surely doesn't sound like it. You'd have to call them, I don't see a reason in them calling you unless you've opened some sort of support ticket online or something.
