Hey Jackson, just in case this hasn't already been brought to your attention, it appears this website is plagiarising your China forum:

Hi Comrade 2255,

Yes, my attorney has been on their case.

Thanks,

hello,

i'm sure you are aware that kuwait is an authoritarian hell hole, with a very active police force that loves to bust prostitutes. even alcohol is illegal in this country. i think it is extreemly unwise and dangerous for the girls to have their numbers publicly posted on the kuwait forum. from personal experience i can confirm that two of the girls who's numbers were publicly listed on the forum were busted by the cops. being busted for prostitution in kuwait involves being arrested and gang raped by the entire police department and all their friends, then a few long months rotting in the deportation jail before being shipped off like animals back to their home country (without ever even being allowed to collect their belongings). it is a horrible fate that you wouldn't even wish on your worst enemy. please jackson remove all the publicly listed numbers from the forum. these numbers were not put there with the consent of the girls, and it is putting their well-being at great risk.

cheers

Hell Jackson,

In my paid subscription under active subscription, it is showing start date 1-11-11 to expiry date 1-11-12. Does that mean my payment re-occurred. I have not made any payments for renewing. Please advise on this. I might misunderstood how it is put or it might have re-occurred. I don't want to renew subscription.

Hey Jackson,

I really like the improvement to having pictures show right in the messages.

Good Work!

Hi Jackson,

As I could not initially decide on a username, I wound up with two accounts (one never used). Because I have an unlimited supply of email addresses, I use a unique email address for everything that requires one (e. G. Forum registrations). So, I have two accounts with two different email addresses. These addresses have never been given out to anyone or posted anywhere. The only place I ever even typed them was on the ISG registration form.

Imagine my surprise when I began receiving spam at these addresses. On Sept 17, I received two identical emails promoting escorts in Kuala Lumpur, sent around the same time, separately to both addresses.

Yesterday, I again received two identical emails promoting Asian escorts, one to the first address I gave ISG, the other to the second address I gave ISG. Again these addresses have never been used anywhere else and the only connection is that they were both used to register on ISG.

Can you explain how this is possible? Unless this was done with your knowledge (and presumably for profit) , which most would have to assume is the case under the circumstances, I do hope you're investigating a major security breach right about now.

Thanks for your help. I hate spammers, don't you?

Hi Jackson,

Thanks for all the effort you put into running this forum.

I wonder if you have considered how the value of the individual posts could be rated in order to make it easier to find interesting posts. I know you setup with reports of distinctions, but it is not used a lot and not really helping us.

Very often I click on posts that are completely irrelevant or of little or no value to me. That could be posts from regular members just requesting other members to give more information that is posts that should have been sent as PM and not as a public post. Also some posts contain a very long citation and then just a no-value comment of less than one line.

It would be wonderful if you somehow could leverage the power of being many members in solving this problem. I'm thinking that we as members might be able to help each other by tagging the relevance / quality of posts. I know relevance is subjective, but still I think it could be very helpful if some kind of value-indicator could be shown on the front page and on the threads – just above the individual posts. Maybe counting and displaying number of clicks on a 'Thanks for your effort / work'-button could do it. I think original contributions either in the form of new knowledge from the field or putting an effort into typing and editing a good post should could be the way forward.

I would love to see such an improvement.

All the best.

On some threads there are a lot of mystery-typing (ie. Substituting a few letters with stars or others characters). I know it is with good intentions to protect the places and providers / contacts, but I find it very annoying and it reduces the quality of the information and hence the ISG.

Lately I haven't been able to find the old list of abbreviations. Did you remove it? Or maybe it should be expanded to also explain thread specific abbreviations. This is certainly relevant in the Indian threads.

Could thread specific abbreviation lists help on this issue?

All the best.

Copenhagen[/QUOTE]It had been moved in the FAQ section, bit tricky to find it.

And it is missing quite some abbreviations one can see around in the various forums.

Some might be obvious but some are a mistery.

I agree with the niosance given by the stars and uncomplete words, to which I would add the tendency, in some forums, to use local language words that means nothing at all to anybody not familiar with the language.

But those guys think to be smart.

Dear Jackson,

Just to let you know that yesterday I received some spam e-mail at the e-mail address I used for the subscription here.

It was by a "Russian" escort agency (running their server with a Dutch ISP) providing escorts in (of all places) Kuala Lumpur.

Now I use that e-mail for a lot of things, so I cannot be sure that is not from somewhere else they have acquired it, but the coincidence is rather surprising.

Not that I am terribly upset by this spam, but I thought to let you know nevertheless in case you want to check the security of your databases.

PS: I wanted to send this message by PM, but I could not easily find your PM-address (unless it is Admin?).

Jackson,

Have you given any thought to putting a limit on the number of posts a regular member can add in 24hrs? A few of the newer members have added several posts in a row on the same thread all within a few minutes. They contain no real information and are all basically the same thought. Clearly just meant to boost the post count.

Thanks for your time.

Hi. I can search the forums. But the results I get. Well, I must not be doing it right. I searched the forum for "Lorenzo" 'because I wanted to find a certain report of his, an overview of countries. I got many hits on "Lorenzo". But they were not highlighted, and got these LONG lists of threads that I had to wade through. I finally just messaged Lorenzo, and he sent me the link to the report.

Also,"reports of distinction" will have a link, but it's a big long thread of discussion, so I have difficulty finding the actual report. Say, one of Tungahura's reports.

Another search was "renting apartments". I keep expecting these highlight words when I do the search. Thank you kindly for the help you have given me so far. NO. I am not trying to build up my "report count".

Hi Carroll6,

Change the search settings to display the results by report instead of by thread.

Thanks,

Thanks for your time.[/QUOTE]Hello, Stroker. I see your point. I am a freshman. I want to reply to posts. I am not trying to, cheat on my posts. I really see your point! The useful information is obscured by the discussion. I am looking for HARD info. Such as this.

[url]http://wikitravel.org/en/Asuncion.[/url]

This link has hard, specific information. I really had to search the web to find it! Not ads by real estate hustlers, the pricey kind where people are trying to sell very upscale places.

You are right. This will count as a report, and it is not a informative report, it is a discussion.

Hello,

When performing a search on the forum the search will display a thread with all the posts with relevent information. The bug exists where when I select the link to go to the actual post in its thread the forum redirects me to a random place often going back years in the thread. The landing page is nowhere near where the actual post that I clicked on is located. I have been finding that this happens on the UAE section of the site. I hope I have posted this in the right section and please excuse if I posted in the wrong place as I could not find a report bugs section of the forum.

Hi Jackson,

Yeah! The boys have not been behaving too well for several months now. Flaming, biching, all over the forum.

Overnight I see you have nuked Egypt, Nairobi, some place in India, and God forbid! Bangkok?

Whats up bud? ROFLMAO!
