This is not the first, and will not be the last.

Generally forums should not advertise the forums throught the gateway. Even the linked thread URLs can be considered advertising, so I turn all the footers off, only leave the username to be sent with the message. Also the forum owner should educate their users about what the gateway is. Failing that, making the USENET forums as moderated forums may be the way to go.

Edit: the newer version I am working on (not uploaded, only used in my board and in the cvs) tags all the imported user names with Ext User(usenet user name). So it will be more clear for the origin of the USENET messages.

BTW, new features will only be added to the version vb3_5 branch. vb3_5 branch is the newer version to work with vB3.5.
