Right, this thread is for telling folk that the 'proper' ILX is down again, so if you see this above the "ILX is back up" thread it means ILX is back down

Presumably this is what will happen:

- ILX to remain down until nu-code has been fully tested (or admins to RISK further hacking by putting them back up too soon)
- nu-ILX then launched
- everything returns to how it was the day before yesterday except we can all sleep soundly safe in the knowledge that it will now be much more difficult for a logged in regular (or otherwise) to hack the server in order to demonstrate a flaw with the existing code
- no 'punishment' on anyone because after all no real harm done eh?

That alpaca sex site is the greatest thing I have ever seen!

Friends, Romans, Ilxers, lend me your ears! I LOVE HER. I don't know if it was the amyl nitrate or the dulcet tones of Brett Anderson's reggae song (OMG I LOVE!). Or maybe it was the copy of À La Recherche Du Temps Rerdu around her velutinous neck, and as I went to stroke it she made a bleating noise, and I'm sure I heard... jouissance.

ILE, I shall keep you updated.

There was an alpaca farm near my aunt and uncle's vacation home in the San Juan Islands near Seattle. My uncle looked dimly upon them and figured the whole setup was a tax dodge.

Alpacas are apparently more of a strain to care for than llamas. There were guard llamas at the farm across the way from the alpaca place.

I don't know what's more disturbing, the llama sex of the naked bald dude with an acoustic guitar who's somehow affiliated with the first video.

And banning someone from ile is not ok, but bullying several posters off of posting to threads you start and being a hateful lunatic is totally ok?

No, but there are ways of dealing with people who do that, and being liable to fuck off every ILX poster as opposed to people who can't find there own way of dealing with the problem you describe isn't really going to endear you to that many people. Hovering over a city with a nuclear bomb isn't an effective cockroach squisher. People who do what you describe will get what's coming to them in many ways, some day. You aren't the person to decide to do that (I'm guessing I know who you've banned, right?)

hi, several xposts, erm, just to say that distasteful as it first seemed, i forgave jon pretty quickly when that thread was de-indexed. it was a joke that kinda went too far but it's not caused any lasting damage. the whole 'lj bullying' thing is kinda blown up slightly, it's just that whenever dom and company get bored they need a washboard to scrape, and for some reason i make a pretty good washboard. what's worse is when people judge me, this causes me FAR more grief than the noizy 'lol poppage'-style sniping.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 12 February 2007 00:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Our stud has what is called a fibro-elastic penis and two testicles held in a scrotal sac. He has the alarming ability to be able to move his testicles closer to his body to maintain optimal temperatures. So if you were sure your boy was well endowed when you bought him and then the next time you looked you could see nothing, don't panic!

Could apply equally to alpacas and men.

No, the argument is that the risk above is now too big to take. If Jon's going to be such a loose cannon that he can't restrain himself from hacking what we know to be insecure code, I'm not going to run around trying to stop him.

Yeah, but how do you know for sure that code is insecure without checking it? Ideally, he would have immediately posted as an admin and said "hi guys, there's a flaw, look at what it got me!" and proposed a fix, but it's not like he'd be able to confirm there was a problem without checking. Catch 22? To me, blaming it on him is dickish since:
1. To our knowledge, there is no non-member attempting to hack it
2. In the long period of time it's been up, no one else has attempted to hack it
3. I think that I trust Jon enough to not fuck with things.

It's not like some jerk from off-board came in and tried to mass delete the database.

― mh (mike h.), Monday, 12 February 2007 02:59 (seventeen years ago) link

but how do you know for sure that code is insecure without checking it
You know for sure it's insecure because there are about a thousand obvious ways ILX can be hacked, especially since he has Mod access on one board and can insert whatever HTML he likes, including javascript.

This code is obsolete. We all know it's being retired as soon as possible. There is no useful purpose served by "checking" for "problems", since any problems aint gonna get fixed, because I'm not spending the time crawling through the code patching every damn hole when we're due to move.

1. Yes, which is why the boards stayed up despite having code like cheese.
2. See 1.
3. You might; I don't have any reason to. Perhaps this is past tantrums coming back to haunt him, but I remember the shitstorm after Andrew fucked with noise privs.

― stet (stet), Monday, 12 February 2007 03:08 (seventeen years ago) link

(xpost) That is kind of a hilarious statement given that Jon fucked with things (albiet in a minor manner).

This is a good point actually: we didn't hear the end of it when Kim/Thermo/Barry got their hands on a noisemod login for a short while. HOSTILE CANADIAN JAVASKRIPT OMG NOOOOES.

I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get banned for that. Someone can do it now if they like - it would be ok.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 12 February 2007 03:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Kim! Remember when we had Noise Admin powers and Jon threw a huge shitfit even though we didn't cause the least bit of damage (and never had any intention of doing so)? Remember how I told Jon to calm the fuck down and noted that if he ever did the same thing with ILE, he'd find the whole thing hilarious and would tell us all that it wasn't such a big deal? I'm sure he'll show up soon with his nose running and try to tell us that the two situations aren't the same though ...
