The admin stopped PMs

The admin told me - that due to a bug in the system and lack of time and money,
Private Messaging (PMs) have been disabled. This should be no loss - as it's better
to discuss stuff publicly on the forum, and one could post their email in the forum,
encoded in some way like 333joe@333yahoo.com - most people could figure out
to take out the 3s - but dumb people and spam robots won't be able to.

And this web site and forum are not closing, at least the admin told me that.
There are no plans to close the forum or the site, unless the goverment or the ISP stop it! Just there is a bug in the PM stuff, so time limits stopped the PM stuff.
