Sheilds UP is a free service from Steve Gibson, I don't think he advertises anywhere.I should also mention that Steve Gibson has his web site at grc.com (Gibson Research Corp.).

One example would be the forums at http://forum.context.cx, granted there is the occasional Asian language ringtone spam, but I guess that's what moderators are for. But there I have seen a lot of people start off as guests and later register once they realize no one bites.

1. Update your DNS server to redirect all requests for w3schools.com on port 80 to www.w3schools.com. Seriously. There's no technical reason why you can't. It looks lazy, and considering the site's content, it looks incompetent. It would be nice to be able to refer people to go to w3schools.com, it's easy to remember, but instead I have to make sure I specify and they understand that they have to type in the www subdomain for it to work, or else I field questions from people saying they can't get to the server.2. Allow guests to post on the forum for people who don't plan on posting more than 1 message.Thanks.
