Thanks, I've actually had quite a bit of fun with that site, as I'm sure you could imagine as it being a Bird Flu forum. The things we've had happen there in the past are far different from you might find on other sites. At one point, we even had several different extremist groups trying to recruit people, some of which were my close moderators. Craziest stuff you ever saw... I ended up getting rid of every Mod because of that and I've been running it myself ever since. Of course, the former Mods then started their own flu forum and they then began attacking our site 24/7. I must have had nearly 500 I.P's blocked at one point. lol. The forum wars, which we defended against, really became almost legendary. It even got to the point that I was receiving death threats via email if I didn't allow certain people to post, and recruit. Extremist groups think that if there's a pandemic, then they will have a chance to actually over throw the government, etc .. I'm somewhat patriotic so I wasn't about to let them use my site for that crap.
We actually still have all the
#1 rankings on most of the search engines, for phrases such as Bird Flu Forum, Pandemic Flu Forum, Flu Talk, etc .. I suppose if there's ever a pandemic, our site will be extremely easy for the general population to locate.
Anyway, having said all that, I'm sure my posts here will soon hit the search engines and this thread itself will be copied on all the flu blogs and forums. Never any peace ...
