I believe that the "staff at Dave's" consists of... Dave. He probably knows a programmer when his problems here extend beyond the technical forum for board owners here on phpBB.

I would even bet that the Saudi staff would think they blocked it permanently and would not bother to check (to busy drinking tea and waiting to go home at 2:00pm after a hard 2 hours of work).


2 hours! Man, they would be demanding over-time for that sort of effort.

So... why don't you send an email to Dave. His email address is on the page. Besides, the Saudis could just pick it up again and block the new one. How many times do you think that they would want to bother from this side?

They have an entire workforce (probably Filipinos) overseen by some guys in white dresses, whose only mission in life is to make life a secret from the Saudi people. They have nothing else to do and once the oil straw makes that sucking empty sound, they too will be out of jobs.

Nah, the guys in white dresses probably change shifts about 4 times while the poor Filipino works 12 hours non-stop.

The Saudi forum is working now without subterfuge. No promises on how long it'll last.
