| We are trying to allow everyone to use peeron, so we have removed the blocks for the t-online and the wanadoo users. We still have to pay for bandwidth though, so please, don't abuse our trust. We will block any user caught slurping, to avoid having (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.db.inv) !!

|
| I'm not quite as computer literate as everyone here on LUGNET, so I have to ask, what is "slurping"? I've never even heard of that term before. For all I know, I could've been "slurping" every time I visited Peeron and not even known it. I don't (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.db.inv)

| Dan, If slurping is using a program to download a whole entire site, then I'm quite safe in saying that I won't, can't and probably never will be able to do that.
