f00bar posted a thing elsewhere in miscellaneous about whether there were any windows forums out there, presumably so people can go there and mouth off, since all the denizens of those sites have been coming here with their idiocy recently.
Well i don't know if i'll be doing that, but since he asked, and for other people's info too, here are a few that i found:
The Windows BBS (http://www.windowsbbs.com/)
personally, i think this should be the windows B$.
You know all those "help, i can't use windows xp, but i am too much of a lamer to get linux" posters? they should go here instead. be sure to read the strict forum rules (http://www.windowsbbs.com/rules.php) before posting.
The EasyWindows Forum (http://www.easywindows.com/wwwboard.html)
This one reads more like a bunch of people who have found a lot of niggly problems with windows but have no idea what to do about them. A community of people huddling deeper into the windowy murk, trying to keep each other warm against the bitter cold of Microsoft.
The BlackCode.com Windows Forum (http://www.blackcode.com/forums/list.php?f=5)
They also have a linux forum, so the site itself doesn't seem prejudiced, I bet you get some raving windoids posting there though! also there is a Spanish forum here if anybody's interested!
The M$N Communities 'I Love Windows XP' forum (http://communities.msn.com/LoveWindowsXP/messageboard.msnw).
This speaks for itself.
This is an actual Microsoft site, just so's you know before you go clicking on it...
And lastly,
The Sysopt.com forum (http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/000767.html) read this fantastic definition of windows 95!
Any other good ones, anybody?

as i said, calum, thanks.
are you active on one of these forums under a different nick/whatever ?

:confused: no, why do you ask? :confused:

WindowsBBS looks rather like this one, but with more psychedelic colors and too many forums. Confusing and too much LSD for me. I haven

the windows BBS needs you to use an e-mail provided by your ISP. And i am too lazy to configure my e-mail with my ISP.
I posted some things in the "we love XP" forum.
I have to have a shower now, i feel so dirty.
the easy windows forum was just stupid.

oh god!
i found the worst combination ever!
i person from Alabama is using windows!
looke here:

its pretty pathetic, but hey, their from alabama.

So then, if I'm correct, WindowsBBS (http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=www.windowsbbs.com) and The EasyWindows Forum (http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=server17.hypermart.net) use Linux, yay!

After reading that.. Maybe there still is a market for Windows. (http://smile.gif)

TaskBar location
The row of icons that were at bottom of screen which showed programs being executed (I think call the taskbar), are suddenly showing up as a vertical line on the left side of screen. Anyone know how I can change them back to the bottom?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply, Daisy.
I finally got the task bar back to where it has always been on this machine. But it was not a one step operation. Sometimes when I click and drag, nothing happened. I eventually got it across the top, then down the right side, and finally across the bottom.
Many thanks for your reply.....Ed
what a cack!!!!!
the same goes for the fact that the windows B$ is hosted on apache servers!
i laughed so hard i broke all my furniture!

Hi Folk's!
I've donned my asbestos suit, and will attempt another post here.
I'm running Opera601 paid ver, and using text only mode, except when I need to go pee, and get coffee.
The "Abyss" site intrigued me so I clicked the link.
I was deluged with popups! I leave em enabled in opera so I don't miss all the drivel.
The main page is okay, but I had to switch to user mode in order to view the yellow text that was on a white background for me.
After throwing off the trash, the site is still intriguing.
Have you heard of the W3 org?
Give us po folk a break!

the abyss is under major reconstruction. I am not very good with the frames. Somehow i accidentally made the links popup in a new window.
check out
The Abyss Cheese Depository (http://cheese.zapto.org) (you'll need to view pictures though)

GREAT SITE!
I love cheese myself! Eat LOT'S.
Gitcherself a nice wheel of aged wisconsin "blu" cheese, and spread it on some hard bisquits, or crackers for a real treat. Smelly(I like the smell), but GOOD.
I also like extra hard aged cheddar, at room temp.
Haven't seen cheeze whiz for a while, only thing similar I can get is Velveeta. Melts great, and goes well with macaroni, or as a grilled cheese sandwich.
I put your site in my opera 'favorites' folder for easy access, and will hand out the URL, if it's okay with you.
Peace and Prosperity!

I thought I'd sign up to give you some membership, but then I discovered that they wanted me to apply for a MS Passport! I didn't even look to see what the requirements were.
I cleared my browser history so no one can ever link me with being near such a sign up page.

there is something strangely exciting about having a fuckmicrosoft community on msn
i use hotmail for bullshit
amazing how many cookies you pick up in 5 minutes on cable
-
strangely hyposritical.
I only have a so called .net passport (got one well before it was called that) because all my friends dumbly use MSN messenger. I use Trillian, so i can talk to them.

reasons for baning me:
quote:
1. You wasn't helping anybody, only saying "get Linux" nothing else
2. you listed your email address as [email protected]
Good luck elsewhere!
I only told one person to get Linux. The rest: I implied that linux is infinatly better.

OMFG MicrosoftBBS has that stupid fag Steve Jones as a mod, that guy is such a complete asshole. he bans you if you say ANY bad word, by bad word i mean something that would be considered bad in the 20s such as "hell" or "damn"
he must be a religious zealot or something
