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

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.

Hang on, what was a joke - you asking to be googleproofed after using your name all over the boards for months?

and if things ever get too boring we can always count on you to post some photos of you in drag to get the action going again.

Oh, OK, I missed that. I can't keep up. You dudes totally deserve medals for modding this crap.

well, the sniping i've kinda brought upon myself, the judging i haven't, it being entirely a product of prejudiced imaginations.

I think I've guessed who was banned too.

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).

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Monday, 12 February 2007 03:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I remember the shitstorm after Andrew fucked with noise privs.

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.

― m00kiepr00f (m00kiepr00f), Monday, 12 February 2007 03:44 (seventeen years ago) link

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 ...

it's a good thing that wasn't passive-aggressive, cuz otherwise...

Little does Grimly know but he has fallen through an internet paradox... Gone is the ILX he knows instead he is in the twilight hold...

From this:

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?

I'm guessing it was Kate. xpost

Yeah, because mickey's so much worse than any other annoying cnut round here

mickey's "relationship" w/the RIAA lifts him above garden-variety internet assholism. he's an undercover narc, 100000X the threat to ILX that many ppl seem to think JW is.

opinions are like the cellular composition of a body, they replace themselves completely every few years yet somehow remain almost exactly the same

All i can say is it's only slightly amusing that I had started a thread about the depressing state of BBC 'have your say' threads only for this to happen.
