I have removed the two offensive posts you made to this topic.

You may like to know the reason that your topic was overlooked.

In this board I (and the other admin/teachers) tell all our staff to look for topics within the last week that have had NO replies.

Because you 'bumped' your post within 24 hours, it from then on was not looked at by our staff.

Inspite of that, whatever the frustrations that you must has felt, the posts you made are not acceptable to the admins of this board and if they are repeated you would find yourself banned from the forum. The owner of this forum prides himself on being a family man and running a forum that he would allow his (or other peoples) children to visit, he therefore does not tolerate the type of posts you made for any reason.

As your log is now very old - could you post a new hijackthis log and I will get one of the helpers of this forum to assist you.
