Recently a lot of people have been getting calls from "Licensed Microsoft Technicians" about viruses on their computers. So far, the callers all appear to be Indians wanting remote access to help resolve your computer's issues.

  • Microsoft doesn't make money doing this; no company does.
  • Microsoft doesn't monitor your computer in the first place, neither would Apple or another similar company.

If you get a call like this, you have several options to choose from.

  1. Do as instructed and have your computer completely taken over; including bank accounts, etc.
  2. Be polite and quickly end the conversation.
  3. Have fun. Screw with the guy and make them pay dearly for the phone call.
  4. ... Read more »

Hey everyone,

We're currently working on updating older sections of the main website. The first thing to go was the old, four-line privacy policy. 

We've updated it to be a little more professional, but also with the hope to be more useful to our users. In addition to making the policy easier to understand, we've also improved to it and added restrictions for our younger users. Be sure to update yourself with the new policy and keep checking back for new updates, next is the terms of service, or user agreement You really want to be aware of changes to the user agreement, on any website.

My good friend Mark A. Williams helped out a bit on our old forum with the making a few guides. I decided to take his thoughts and weigh in on our brand new forum.

Check out the new Spiral13 to view his top ten ways to triple your traffic and my thoughts on each one.

We decided to remove the blog. The blog was hardly ever updated or visited and just took away from time that can be spent updating more important parts of Spiral13, so we got rid of it.

What's more important?

The blog wasn't necessary and other modules can be twisted around to work like one if needed, or it can be brought back. More important than the blog would be the directory, news, forum, and the "Ask a Question" page. Though they need more updates too. We're looking to our visitors & users for this. 

Drop by the forum sometime and post a quick tutorial or answer a question, or ask a question. Whichever service you need or can offer to our community.

We decided to bring back the forum, it can be a great resource for webmasters. We also added an actual blog, a guestbook, and chat box to Spiral13.

The forum
It needs to be more than just a forum. It needs to be helpful. The new forum has much more detailed categories and boards. There are now boards strictly for questions and help, guides have their own section.

Check out: http://forum.spiral13.com

The Blog
We haven't really been using a blog, but I find it better than trying to convert a forum. Not too much to say about the blog it self really, you'll have to check out it for yourself. However, the blog is connected to the guestbook, chat box, and polls.

It's all here:... Read more »

We decided to change the login method for the convenience of our uCoz users. Users who register after November 27th, 2011 will login with their e-mail address, while older accounts will still login with their username.

The convenience of uCoz users?
We use the uCoz web builder/host, therefore uCoz users can just login without registration. This helps for those who have their own sites, visit other uCoz websites or if/when we ever create more websites.

I haven't been doing too much with Spiral13 lately, just basically keeping the current ads active. At the moment I'm trying to grow the site a little more and make it as useful/easy to use as possible.

Spiral13 isn't some big company and there isn't too much time left in the day anymore, but we're definitely trying to keep updating and growing.

I'm not going to beg you to share us on Facebook or Twitter or anything, either you use the site and like it or you don't. Thanks to everyone out there who likes what we're doing and has supported us.
