Tim, on another website we frequent you mentioned some software for tunneling through a corporate firewall to a computer on the internet. What was the name of that software?

Does anyone else have any tunneling software recommendations for a web browser? Preferably something that can use port 8080.

"another website we frequent"

Oh great, you mean I'm not on the A-list? Crap.

HTTPort be what you're looking for. I've had much success tunneling through our company's overprotective censorware. Thanks for asking here, I was going to ask you to do so.

Mark, I believe you were on the A-list, but you gave up your Fxxx Pxxx account because it was too addictive.

I know what Fxxx Pxxx stands for, and maybe this is a stupid question, but why the xxx's all the time?

It's a long-running joke there, "The First Rule of Fxxx Pxxx is you don't talk about Fxxx Pxxx". Now that new user registration is closed due to bandwidth issues, it's not really a problem to talk about File Pile, but we still pretend.

Ah, I see.

Yea, you guys screwed me over talking about how cool Fxxx Pxxx was. I want an account, dammit. So they're not gonna reopen it anytime soon, huh?

Dang.

Partially, it was too addictive, and part of it was I'd go clicking around looking for something funny and see something that would make me not want to eat for about a week. So now I'm a B-lister.

You can't beat the steady stream of great MP3s and the discuss part though.

I wouldn't know about Kirsty Maccoll and a bunch of other great bands if I didn't keep going back.

Mark, if you really don't want to use your account, some people sell them on Ebay. It looks like Kalei would be interested, too.

I had him close it. Doh! I shoulda sold it. Crap.

FWIW, Andre didn't really approve of people selling their accounts, as it violates the first rule.
