I'm sick of these girlie cams. The BOFH cam is a verry worthwhile parody. I'm waiting for that day one of these girlie cams has some crazed stalker breaking in and proceeding to beat up the cam owner, with everyone on the web watching. As soon as that happens, you will see every last one of those cams go down overnight.

Some people are so scared of certain words. Sheesh.
Nonononono! Pr0n is the name given to images depicting nude crustaceans, or two or more scampi "doing it". Prawnographic images are banned in Atlantis, and there is a growing debate as to whether it harms participants, especially after it was discovered that those caught in the act were invariably bright pink.
Religious clams are also claiming that those who indulge in prawnography spend eternity, or at least 5 or 10 minutes, in a stir fry, at the local chinese.

Someone is wasting a whole internic registration/bandwidth on this mess? There really isn't anything positive about this so I guess I am in the right. Plus isn't it mostly just a matter of preference and logic to think that the person thought this through really well before they did it? I don't think anybody get's up in the morning and decides to do this.

Yup and it's not me. I just live there. The trick is to go down, not across my friend.
> There really isn't anything positive about this > so I guess I am in the right.
Who said it had to be positive? Certainly not me. If you care to look at the site you will notice that it forms more a part of my recovery from work than a source of income, reason for being, or general point of my existance.
> Plus isn't it mostly just a matter of preference > and logic to think that the person thought this > through really well before they did it?
What required me to think it through before doing it? Back in February it was a spur-of-the-moment, do-it-cos-I'm-bored thing. A single page with an image that refreshed every 5 minutes.
Since then it's become something to try out HTML on, frink about with while I'm bored and something my fellow sysadmins can watch if they need some escape from work. Nothing more.
> I don't think anybody get's up in the morning > and decides to do this.
You're darned tooting! Who the hell gets up in the morning? It's gotta be after 13:00 before you see my shining face!
