A bot-related technical problem with the forum was causing the entire Philosophy Now website to repeatedly crash. Therefore we had to take the forum offline for the rest of the website to run normally.

After investigating in some depth, Bora has concluded that the best solution would be to increase the level of protection that an external web security company provides. This costs quite a lot of extra money so we may have to put some adverts at the top of the Forum to pay for this. And please consider subscribing to Philosophy Now magazine (https://philosophynow.org/shop) - it is excellent value and we need to balance the books in order to keep this show on the road!

If the extra security doesn't solve the problem, we may have to take the forum down again while we try to think of an alternative solution. Apologies in advance if this proves necessary.

I wanna see ads for coffee, cigarettes, and shotguns (a few of my favorite things).

Sez men who like to display their 'manliness'.

You're gold Henry!

I want adverts for tech stuff - VR mainly. It would be good if we could select what type of adverts would suite us individually.

But yes sub up people!
