That said, I think the people who have been keeping these threads alive need to recognize that the broad message has now reached everyone who wants to hear it. Without some direction and focus, this will just fizzle away in a few more days. Even if a few stalwarts try to ensure it doesn't, they are going to be repeating themselves and preaching to the choir.

So far this is just another skirmish in a war which isn't going to be won for another 5-10 years. I'm not downplaying its importance, because at least within the confines of GFY, the response has been more encouraging than when similar topics have come up in the past. But unless we are willing for the scumware customers to breathe a sigh of relief a few days from now and carry on doing business as usual, this needs to be raised above the level of what someone implied earlier today was just another GFY p*ssing match.

I know the issue has been brought up on other boards. But on some it has barely been mentioned and on others it soon drifted away. There are many serious webmasters who don't come near GFY, so that's one thing which needs a solution.
