Problems Posting #2 [continued]

Sun, 08/28/2011 - 12:17

Everyone, I don't know the facts as for what's causing the technical problems on this and other websites, but due to what took place along the East Coast on Tuesday, August 23, 2011, might have had something to do with these technical problems.

According to various news reports, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake was centered 35 miles northwest of Richmond Virginia. It struck at 1:51 PM Eastern Standard Time, and was felt from Georgia up to Canada. While watching the news on TV on that same day, pictures were shown for the structural damage in Baltimore, Maryland. Well, where's the headquarters for the Epilepsy Foundation located at? Baltimore, Maryland. I don't know exactly where the Epilepsy Therapy Project is located, but by looking at the "Contact Us" section of this website, it has the mailing address located in Middleburg, Virginia.

I was going to post this message in a reply to the original topic thread, but the "Add a comment" option doesn't appear to be working on any of the topic threads. So I thought, what the heck, let me create a new topic thread and try to make it as being a continuation of the original topic thread that this community forum's member, who has the username of 3Hours2Live, created.

There is something that I would like to bring to everyone's attention, because it is been going on now for several weeks. A little over three weeks ago some new members started posting links to advertising websites. And I'm talking about advertisements that definitely don't need to be included on this community forum, nowhere, whatsoever. For example, the topic thread titled "frustration with sudden onset on seizures" is loaded with links to advertising websites, and is continuously receiving additional links to advertising websites, it seems like nearly every day. I mean, on here, do you think we need to have advertisements for "beautiful g strings", "yachts for sale", "bikes for sale", or "parrots for sale"? I don't think so.
