: This site is running the NetX security system. You need to log-in with
: your own sites username / password combination.
: Don't worry, in the same way that the host-server pair knows the site you are
: calling (127.0.0.1) and your username ('mcarswll'), without these being sent
: to the server, your password isn't sent to the server, so its secure.
: When the correct (your) username and password pair are supplied, an
: authentication code is sent to the server, so it will let you in.
: Your password never gets sent from your local machine, so its secure from this
: point of view. There has apparently been a few attacks where crackers have
: been able to fool the server into thinking an authentication code has been sent
: when they haven't supplied a password, but this isn't a problem for the people
: logging in, only for the people running the site!.
: Enjoy the GIFs and JPEGs there. They seem to be constantly changing, so if
: you don't get many 1st time round, log back in later.
: Sadly, as this site has become more well known, the signal-to-noise ratio has
: changed to favour noise more.
: Maybe I'm getting jaded with all the images I've got off this site, but it
: seems to me that nowadays I've already got everything thats on this site.
: This just means that either :
: 1) its carrying stuff I've already got anyway, :( or
: 2) I'm getting so many pictures from it :)
: Anon186b.
Sorry still cant get in.
