Please note one of the site rules:

No hate speech against people of a certain religion, race, sexuality or gender. Genuine criticism of religions or nations and their people is fine, but if hate speech is identified it will be removed.

Why are Islamophobic threads/posts still tolerated?

These types of posts were common on another forum but they are on open view in this forum.
I thought we were above the hate speeches that were prevalent on the previous forum?

Just to explain that our hosting problem had a major problem yesterday afternoon with one of their Linux servers, the net result was that they lost the server and had to rebuild it from scratch.

The reason the rebuild took so long is that we share this server with 1756 other websites and I believe the reconstruction is still ongoing.

We are now on my temporary server as the hosting company has sat on its backside and done nothing for 36 hours.

There will likely continue to be interruptions to service until Fasthosts actually complete the move to an alternative server.

Attachments of any kind don't work here today, this was never supposed to be a live server, links to pictures and videos hosted elsewhere should continue to work.

Really sorry about all this we have been at the mercy of Fasthosts a company...
