I have to say, you're all insane.

One e-mail to a mod to have someone check into it is one thing, but turning it into an all-out war is a bit much, don't you think?

I'm sure we belong in there and not them, but this is wasting almost as much bandwidth as the PBD threads by now.

Nope.

The AITE will defend AI FOREVER!

We are invncible! (Though, we do get a bit loopy at about 3am, when we're all ready to pass on on our keyboards. Anyone who was around early this morning knows what that looks like. )

No, it's not a bit much. At times there are 20 of them flooding us out and keeping us from being able to chat!

The chatroom is for US to chat, it's not meant to be copied and put onto other websites so they get a DigiChat chatroom without having to pay for it.

I was there just a few hours ago, and although there weren't many arabs there, some odd person (who registered as | if I remember correctly) continually posted screens of '|'s, making it impossible to use the chat properly. Indeed, things are getting out of hand.

Newbies generally fulfil one of two functions: being a pain in the ass or fodder for the vets. If they survive to Senoir Membership, then their role undergoes a little change...

Use the ignore function, then flood them out.

Best thing is just to "ignore/squelch" the Arabs for now. Then wait 'till to-morrow when their site gets the boot.

it doesn't work anymore (seemingly at least) so I dont think we will see them anymore.

The "blockade" seems to have worked effectively... last time I checked there was just a stray arabic speaker here and there... but 4-6 AITErs in there ;-)
