Pron - A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away someone posted a request for porn on a bulletin

has become a bit of a running joke and so it is now deliberately misspelt.

web page or contact a remote server. The message from your computer is first sent through the

maintain your privacy on the net or speed up your connection (much more detailed info on this
subject in the "more tips" section).
代理 - 　　代理伺服器是介於瀏覽器和Web伺服器之間的一台伺服器，有了它之後，瀏覽器不是直
接到Web伺服器去取回網頁而是向代理伺服器發出請求，Request信號會先送到代理伺服器，由代理
伺服器來取回瀏覽器所需要的信息並傳送給你的瀏覽器。而且，大部分代理伺服器都具有緩衝的功
能，就好像一個大的快取，它有很大的存儲空間，它不斷將新取得資料儲存到它本機的存儲器上，
如果瀏覽器所請求的資料在它本機的存儲器上已經存在而且是最新的，那麼它就不重新從Web服務
器取資料，而直接將存儲器上的資料傳送給用戶的瀏覽器，這樣就能顯著提高瀏覽速度和效率（速
度會隨著代理伺服器地理位置的不同以及網路傳輸情況而改變），而且國外的網路大部分都是沒有
限制訪問網站或者所限制的不同，所以我們有很大的機會通過代理伺服器去訪問那些原本不能夠去
的網站。更重要的是：Proxy Server (代理伺服器)是 Internet鏈路級網關所提供的一種重要的安全功
能，它的工作主要在開放系統互聯 (OSI) 模型的對話層。 (節選自某中文網站)

not built. Some pub stealers justify this by claiming that the elitism of private FXP groups

work to try to claim the credit for themselves. Either way though, pub stealers are despised by the
FXP groups and praised by those who would otherwise not have access to them.

Sys Op - The person who has the responsibility for running the computer from which an FTP site
has been established. When warez is uploaded to public FTP sites and then suddenly
goes "Missing In Action" you can often lay the blame at the door of the Sys Op who has an
obligation to make sure his/her server stays within the boundaries of the law (i.e. warez free).

莊子言：
你可以把這種 trade 當做現實生活中的 trade，只不過不用金錢來衡量，credits 在這裡表示你對這
個 site 的付出多少，論壇上的積分也是同一個意思。說什麼「網路上的東西都應該是 free 的，積
分/credits 違背了 warez 原則」 的人都是那些想不勞而獲的人。一個完全 free 的沒有規則的遊戲不可
能存活到現在。 以上翻譯是針對現有現像而發，於原文不同。

warez bulletin boards.
