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

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This code is obsolete.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.

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

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.

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...

― remy bean (bean), Monday, 12 February 2007 08:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that I trust Jon enough to not fuck with things.

have i woken up in a parallel universe or something?

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...

seriously needs to

― lexpretend (lexpretend), Monday, 12 February 2007 11:15 (seventeen years ago) link

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

ok. ban kenan too.

there are others as bad as him but none seem to have quite the same fondness for the word "faggot"

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.

― sgt joe friday (lovebug ), Monday, 12 February 2007 11:32 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 12 February 2007 11:34 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― ned trifle XIV (ned trifle XIV), Monday, 12 February 2007 11:34 (seventeen years ago) link

or more accurately, a parole violator who will draw the heat here.

Mickey's just a Jagger with EDGE.

I was just reading that BBC have your say thread, having not looked at ILX all weekend, when catastrophe did strike.

Mickey Borchardt: "Sinking a Music Pirate" (L.A. Times, April 3, 2006)
This simpering piece of garbage could have been written by an RIAA operative: a college student busted for illegal downloading details how the FBI dragged him into court while concluding that "stealing of any kind is wrong." Wonder if this essay was part of his plea bargain? If so, they should throw the book at him, though they probably won't since he's acted like such a good little tool.

Um how does one put up images again? (Sorry I should know this by now!)

― kv_nol (kv_nol), Monday, 12 February 2007 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

but put it all a bit closer together

― acrobat (acrobat), Monday, 12 February 2007 13:55 (seventeen years ago) link

(img src="www.comedykitten.jpg")

but with pointy brackets instead of round ones.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 12 February 2007 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks ailsa. How did you know I wanted it for kittens? :)

― kv_nol (kv_nol), Monday, 12 February 2007 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

(the html checker frowns on pointy brackets unless you do them in html too, which is probably where acrobat's explanation went)

xpost - it's ILX, dude, what else would you want it for?

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 12 February 2007 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

To write actual pointy brackets on the screen, incidentally, you write < for < and > for >

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 12 February 2007 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Aye, see that's where I'd fall down, because I'd write that and it'd magically turn into pointy brackets, hence missing the point.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 12 February 2007 14:16 (seventeen years ago) link

so the few miserable cunts who dislike me can have a great argument for banning me?

FWIW jon (as if you care) I don't dislike you but the whole hacker ethics bewilders me. The problems you find are important but it seems the methods you use to highlight just create more headaches for people who are ultimately volunteers.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Monday, 12 February 2007 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

On the bright side, I not only look ridiculous now, but people might remember me for my naivety. I guess I'm just throwing out halfway uninformed opinions after a few years of underposting and overlurking.

If you want to write &lt, write &lt; - and if you want to write &lt; write &amp;lt;... oh the hilarity.

OTM. Have done my work on the other thread. I'll stop now for fear of the madness that might be unleashed!
