Thanks for posting the link for sign-ups, almost forgot about this one

Just bin going through the forums and found this gem.

they dont have the budget to develop anti helios software, im sure. that guys good, you'd need an army of programmers to stop him. send a letter to your national lawmakers to start a bill to make it illegal to create software which ruins online communities and maybe he will stop tormenting us
