Welcome to another edition of the ToeQuest Newsletter!

Spam Registration
-----------------
If you noticed a lot of users being banned recently it's due to a big surge of spam registration. The spammers have been able to bypass the image verification implemented at ToeQuest and many other forum-based websites. I've implemented a new image verification scheme and the spammers are no longer bothering us, at least for the moment.

ToeQuest Guilds
---------------
The ToeQuest Guilds are off to a good start with dleviwing heading up the "T. Q. Physics Alliance". An introduction by dleviwing can be read at http://www.toequest.com/forum/t-q-ph...nce-intro.html. ToeQuest will be kicking off a second Guild this coming week that will be headed by mkirkpatrick. We should have a name decided soon and the forum will be configured within a week. mkirkpatrick as graciously agreed to take up forum moderation of the Spirituality and Psychology forums.

Chat Session
------------
We had a chat session last Saturday with three attendees: baudrunner, dleviwing, and myself. The next chat session will probably be soon after the beginning of next year. I hope to make some modifications to the chat room to use socket server technology. That should place much less stress on the server with much faster responses.

TOE Glossary
------------
I've installed a new Glossary at, http://www.toequest.com/forum/glossary.php, but I don't think anyone knows about it yet. I'll make an announcement shortly. The glossary that can be edited and expanded by all community members. So, if you don't like a definition, you can edit and make it better. If you use words not known to the general layman, you can add a definition to the glossary. All words in the glossary will be marked within the posts, so by clicking the word, you will see the definition. I've entered a very poor definition of a black hole and I'm waiting for someone to improve it. You can reach the glossary on the lower navigation bar, MISC->Glossary.

Link Manager
------------
I've upgraded the Link Manager at http://www.toequest.com/links/, and posted the announcement at http://www.toequest.com/forum/news-a...n-updated.html. Come check it out and add you favorite science link.

That's all I've got for you this time. Newsletters go out every two weeks or so. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, please don't hesitate to send me a PM or some email at robert @ toequest.com.

Regards,
--Robert
