While the sad truth is that any website is potentially vulnerable to these random attacks, it's always a little embarrassing when they do happen, which is partly why we went into so much detail about our response. It is Three Rings policy to be completely open and honest about what goes on here, but it turned out to be a bit of a challenge to explain this particular event without a lot of technical jargon: I'm glad you found the end result to be readable as well as re-assuring! Thanks Josie!

As you say, it will have gone unnoticed by the vast majority of (if not all) users, but the fact that you value your users enough to have taken the time to explain exactly what happened - in considerable detail! - is one of the many reasons I hold the Three Rings organisation in such high regard :-) Josie I’d just like to say thanks for going to such lengths to explain the problem and what you’ve done.

I don't think I have ever used a system that is so easy to use and so easily accepted by all of the members of Kettering Branch. In additon to this you are now only going to charge us £40 and all we can say is that we are very grateful and will ensure that the £110 is used wisely. We at Kettering & District Samaritans would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Properous New Year To all at Three Rings

It's been a "hidden bonus" to us that, for some volunteers, <em>Three Rings</em> is the thing that finally makes computers accessible to them, and empowers them to bring the Internet into their day-to-day lives, if they want.

Great value, and very generous to offer a discount this year. Congratulations, you are a great team.

I know there's a lot of people feeling the pinch right now, especially in the third sector, so I suppose this is pretty well timed! We couldn't have done it without the support and encouragement from our users, though, so I really appreciate knowing we're helping, and I'll make sure the rest of the team know, too!

What an achievement! It is almost our 1st anniversary and what a difference Three Rings has made to us with our rota, communications and much more. It has all been made possible through your dedication and your fantastic support – thank you! We have always considered this to be money well-spent but this is such a very generous offer especially at a time when costs are rising!
