@Bob Tallon I sell ad space, the ads just don't show up on every page in every scenario.  Entire segments of traffic see no ads.  Sometimes you have to sell yourself instead of someone else... but there are still bills to be paid.  
 
Your topic wasn't ever deleted, it just never went live.  Moderators were probably on the fence because you included your facebook URL.  They're being cautious, exactly what they're supposed to do.  We get a lot of spam that the public never sees, being selective with who's allowed to post and filtering what comes through has helped a lot.  There are far less posts to the forum than there used to be but what is posted is quality conversation from real people.  Once you've built enough status here the posting restrictions are removed, it has to be earned by making clean posts. (you're a full member now by the way)  
 
Our biggest assault doesn't come from people, it comes from robots.  Much of the authentication and moderation is to make sure that all posts are made by humans.  We also scan suspicious content and search it against Google to make sure the content is unique.  We don't want content that's been posted on other sites unless the source is cited.  Mods are not allowed to delete posts or threads just because they don't personally agree with the content or the poster.  They are allowed to hide content if they feel it can in any way harm TestMy.net or it's reputation.  For instance, if someone starts posting a bunch of hateful KKK stuff... sorry, this isn't the place.  That post isn't going to last long here and will most likely will never be seen by anyone but the staff here.  Some people talk politics here and that's okay it only becomes a problem if the conversation becomes completely hateful in context.  If you exercise any level of common sense, you'll be fine. 
 
So when you're new here and you make your first posts, it's normal for them to not show up for a little while.  Any more that 24 hours is unacceptable though, I apologize for that.  The mods had left that for me to look at closer and I didn't have a chance to get to it in a timely manor.  In the middle of moving my home and office so I'm not at my computer like normal right now.

Thank you very much!  I have much more to offer, hope you stick around.

I got your link and am using it now.  Thanks very much for your quick and helpful reply.
 
I use OS X and was looking for a native app, the only one I could find was called 'Network Logger Pro'.  Unfortunately I had to return it for a refund because I just couldn't get on with the interface, it wasn't designed well at all.  Your website is most useful and well laid out, keep up the good work.
 
I'm curious how you make money, do you sell the data back to ISPs?  I'm okay with this I'm just wondering out loud.
