Seeing as Joseph is selling to individuals and BBS's cator to individuals of 
a corporation can't use the site or have the brains to free the port if they 
wish to see it, me personally, I really don't care. lol

access is off but if i ever need to turn it on for something well, welcome to 
port conflict hell.
