Meet Other 2012ers
Advertising mail via 2012 connect
This is really just to find out if this is the norm. Over the weekend I received 3 advertising mails promoting different products to my personal email via 2012 connect. A dating site and a 'business opportunity' no less! Looks as if they were sent to all the UK group.
Is this sort of thing allowed? Maybe I need to look at my settings.

From what I can see I havent been effected by this, although at times past Ive had a ton of spam from Ning, I did post about the security holes in the Ning Network on this board once before, if you have In Private browsing use it otherwise expect plenty of spam when using Nings, they have more security holes than Swiss Cheese. LOL Or you could use a proxy to surf with, Ning also puts a tracking cookie on you everytime you use it, this in itself will mean youre wide open to spam, plus Ning use Google Adwords, anything connected to Google means youll get spam, Look into your online security, youll be amazed at how vulnerable you probably are. phoenician

Thanks, I use Firefox with 'trackmenot' which so far has been pretty good. However I was having problems logging in to one particular site recently so I unticked the setting for automatically clearing of cache, cookies etc on closing the browser and temporarily disabled trackmenot and this is probably the result. So I am back on all that, plus I will probably enable private browsing as suggested.

Dec 21 2011 is -366 Day
Like a NASA rocket launch, we can create a 2012 countdown. While several 2012 countdowns have been running for some time, an "official" countdown would have more gravity. I don't need to explain the power of "this time next year" and how it can translate globally.So rather than just suggesting, I am stating: Dec 21 2011 will be known as -366 day. The reference to the leap year could lessen theAsteroids: We Aren't Prepared
NASA is looking, and does find asteroids. Unfortunately their efforts are far from comprehensive, and our planet is woefully under-prepared relative to our technical capabilities. A few months back New Scientist published what will hopefully be a wake-up call to politicians globally:The asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. It is the size of a skyscraper and it's big enough to raze a city2012 Forum - Becoming Very International
With almost 6000 members and over 200,000 posts, 2012 forum has started to attract folk from more and more diverse parts of the planet. Here's a quick peek at how truly global the 2012 meme has become:Russian survivalist shows off his amphibious armored vehicle, purchased for "1500 $ + 20 bottles of vodka + 1 pig"A Scottish lass dreamed that she was at a "dock on top of a mountain unloading aWhat if nothing happens in 2012?
This is a common question, and one that especially concerns 2012 prophets, 2012 fearmongers, and 2012 spiritual evolutionists - for they could all have egg on their face.First of all, there's a good chance something will happen, because most years somewhere in the world there is a major story. 2012 will still have legs, because proponents of the meme will say things like:that earthquake / volcanoWR 104 - Potential Space Nasty
I really like "bad astronomy" articles, but even more so when they admit they are scared. In this instance it is a binary star known as Wr 104. At a distance of 5000-8000 light years a supernova is not expected to harm us. But a Gamma Ray Burst might, especially if it is aimed straight at us!GRBs are a special type of supernova. When a very massive star explodes, the inner core collapses, forming© 2010 Created by Rob Bast on Ning. Create a Ning Network!
