I hadn't seen this posted here, so I wanted to spread the word for those that hadn't heard yet.

Go check it out. It's a lot more user friendly, more like this style of this BB. They have a master list with all the board on the home page. There are a few bugs, I've run into some problem editing posts, but it works most of the time.

If you have a previous Skiffy log-in it should still work. Mine worked just fine.

Here's the new link to the Farscape board. You can read without logging in.

This board is sensible in that it records but does not display your computer's IP address. This way, only responsible people can interpret this data, if accurate, to place certain IPs in a somewhat reliable context to screen against attacks. However unlikely, instances of people using IPs to attack others' computers have happened. With more folks using steady IPs, the risk is too great to treat cavalierly, IMO. Now you've posted at the new Scifi Board, your IP is on public display for any one to utilize, because rather than be responsible and either hire or arrange for someone to moderate , scifi has shown its utter contempt for the well being of its own viewers in a way that's now on an individual level. They are amazing aren't they? Email them, all, and tell them to please record if they will but do not publicly display everyone's IPs.

Hope you'll be safe. :)
