For those of you on the social networking “scene”, this may be of interest to you. We’ve now got our very own bbProtection Facebook group . It’s an open door, so join and tell your friends who may be interested in the project to join as well.

Also, look out for some new blog posts coming over the next few weeks relating to the project as well as the spam problem in general .

Those around for our first beta back in 2006 may remember the #bbprot IRC channel located on the Freenode network (irc.freenode.net) as a place for discussion between users and the team.

We’ve re-launched the IRC channel and welcome any and all of you that might have some time to pop in and chat with us. We really do want your feedback, ideas, and concerns on how you think the service could be improved as we prepare for our official re-launch.

For those of you who don’t use IRC, Wikipedia has an excellent tutorial regarding IRC use specifically on the Freenode network. Our channel is an open door, so simply connect to irc.freenode.net with your favourite IRC client and type “/join #bbprot” to join the party.

There will be a number of team members in the channel so drop in and chat to us about your thoughts on how we can make the service the best it can be .
