SCF is an unmoderated usenet newsgroup -- anyone can post. Yes, anyone. It is read throughout the world and was the first technology to truly bring pinoys from all over the world together. This was and still is the pride of pinoy internet, where we first put a stake to mark our own prime internet real estate!! This is our newsgroup, this is your newsgroup.
Before posting in SCF, there are a few words of caution. Because everyone can read the newsgroups, it is a place where bots regularly harvest email addresses for spam. Therefore, either use an unimportant email account (that is, NOT your work or alumni email account) or set your posting email address to something bogus. I use the prior method, as I would still want to know if someone responds to me via email.
If you prefer to create an unimportant email account like me, you can for example use yahoo or gmail. I like gmail because by signing in to my gmail account I can immediately post to SCF.
So go to http://mail.google.com and create an account by clicking "Sign up for Gmail"... go through the motions. Once you have signed up for a gmail account and have logged in, you are ready to post. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee Okay, that was newbie speak for hurray, right?
Next word of caution, as it is anywhere else in the internet, you need to be cyber smart. Do not just click on any URL that you see posted. Your computer might get a virus that way. Get good antivirus software if you do not have one yet. There are also a lot of scammers, hackers and crackers around. So beware. Do not post login and passwords for your machines.... never ever ever.
Happy posting!
SCF <3
Did I just say that?
