With MediaWiki (what most reputable wikis use), one can be banned either by username and/or IP. If MSFT decied to ban your IP, you'll need to get creative. I have suggestions for you if it comes to that. If it's good enough to circumvent wikis and irc, it should be good enough for MSFT's excuse for a forum. <eg> -- Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Bawwk!

I used the existence of those to plea for a VB6 german forum. We have it now, although under the misleading title "Visual Basic 6.0 - Interoperabilit�t und Upgrade" named after the english forum "Visual Basic Interop and Upgrade" However the chartas differ: "Diskutieren Sie hier Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6)-Themen oder besprechen Sie, wie Sie Ihre Anwendung von VB6 zu VB.NET migrieren k�nnen." roughly translated to "Discuss Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6)-themes or discuss how to migrate your application from VB6 to VB.NET". In opposite the english forum charta: "Discuss how to do upgrades of VB6 code to VB.NET. Covers questions on interop features, Interop Forms Toolkit, Upgrade wizard, but NOT for questions about VB6." See the difference? Ongoing efforts try to switch at least forum naming.
