Glad to be of service

. Yes it will be ad supported. The person who ran suprnova has stated that it will not have spyware like Kazza. We can only wait and see.

hope that helps.

Seems I was took for a ride, i am unfamilar with stuff lke .co.uk and .com and .tk what does it all mean, apart from national meanings of like .com to .co.uk I am stuffed.

.com usually designate commercial sites, .co.uk is used for UK sites, .tk are from a little island somewhere DOT.TK

The domains allow for localisation, specialisation and allow people to know roughly what sort of site they are going to and also mean more addresses can be made available for use (bit like dialling codes in England)
Here's a list of a few

Already read reports that it's loaded up with Cydoor etc. since they are supplying the ads, how this is going to be a clean piece of software is beyond me

Something interesting here too about it:

Mod Edit (Chris T): Links removed - please see my post below.

I think its fair to point out that this site, does not look so much like spam but more a 'fan' site, a spam site would normally be thought of as a sight that tries to make money off you be it via lots of ads pop ups etc or charging you for something that is freely avaiable or not of interest.

After some team discussion this morning, we have decided that we will not allow links to Torrent sites to be posted at Cable Forum. While we acknowledge that there are legitimate, legal uses for P2P networks, the fact is the majority of content available via the links posted above is warez of one kind or another.

With organisations like the MPAA becoming increasingly litigious over these issues we do not intend to risk allowing Cable Forum to become a soft target for a lawsuit by being seen to condone or encourage breach of copyright.

So, please, discuss P2P all you like but do not post a link to any downloads site unless you can guarantee all of its content is 100% legal.

From a legal standpoint the forum must do what it thinks is necessary to protect itself from any future action that is taken again P2P, P2P users and any sites that actively ecourages the use of software that allows people to access illegal software, music, materials etc. Removing links to sites or software is a small price to pay to make sure the team don't end up in court like some sites have.

That is exactly what we have done here.
