I really appreciate all you do for Proxo holding the torch high and maybe you should be added to the Paypal button as your efforts have been critical in keeping Proxo going strong.

I'm glad everyone likes the idea of it I just finished a co-op term as a web developer, and I can say I've gained knowledge on designing web applications, and this is a good test to apply what I've learned. Hopefully it can be expanded in the future so that multiple config sets can be worked on simultaneously. Right now I'm working on random portions of code/functions and trying to get the logic straight (e.g. creating a new filter would automatically check that filter out to you, and updating a filter would automatically create a new row in the database and set the parent filter to use the new filter)

As for a PayPal button for myself, I feel that I would only need to accept donations if I were in dire need of money to keep prxbx.com alive (side note: I do plan to keep prxbx.com alive for as long as I live). The feeling of helping others is more than enough for me Thank you for the kind gesture though! In the meantime, I'd ask that if Sidki does set up a PayPal donation system, that anyone who wishes to donate to me would donate to him instead.

I guess even the page that Paul put up when he learned of Scott's death, and some of us contributed to it (your comment was right under mine I think), is gone also...your link to that page I assume is dead now. I wish we could retrieve that and the Proxo forums.

I checked web.archive.org, and it seems Paul blocked them from archiving CC: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://castlecops.com

He also blocked Google from caching the forums: http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google...roxomitron

EDIT: I hate to sound like I'm not shocked at the closing of CC, but technically we aren't TUOPF anymore, we're TOPF

EDIT 2: In order to accommodate for this, I'm very heavily leaning towards creating a forum for discussion around Sidki's Config Set. I'd be happy to create one also for Grypen (if he does come back ). The forum structure would be: Sidki Config Set, Grypen Config Set, Misc. Config Sets, Website Customization, etc... (note that they won't be subforums, they'd be on the same "level" as "FIP" or "Privacy/Security/Spam".
