What forum would be more suitable?
Ummmm, no.
FlyerTalk is not a usenet newsgroup. You may have noticed that you can't attach files to posts on FlyerTalk, so there would be no way to infect anyone here.
It's also dangerous to propagate myths like just clicking a link can unleash a virus on your computer.
Even if someone were to link to something like this, the user would still have to authorize the download and approve with an enormous box that says "Don't run untrusted programs" the running of the unknown program.
I have to say that I have very little sympathy for people who run unknown code on their computers just to see the latest farting osama kissing bush joke program.
Furthermore, viruses are rarely deployed through weblinks because it's far more traceable than the anonymity of a usenet posting.
