why not just stay here

I’m back up, yo. what’s this about HEN FAP?

It’s not up, ignore that thread that’s now just underneath.

but i don’t know that, bcuz i’m ignoring this one irony loop argh

I’m so confused.

did you brake ilx, kaet?

The last thing I said on ILX was “teh Kit, why you haet kaet?” so I hope not...

lol??! is that true?

reversal of wai 2 haet teh_kit is probably way too much for the fabric of the interwebs to handle, you fool.

a

Pardon?

How was Lenny Henry, by the way?

Actually, that was the last thing I posted last night. Maybe it was me that broke it.

No, no it was probably me.

I blame those kids with their blaring mp3s at the back of the bus.

I’m sure if there had been such a thing as a blaring mp3 player to be had when I was a kid, I’d have had one.

Len was fine, he was working his new routine(s), occaasionally fluffing a line, oddly being accurate about “woodley’s black ghetto” area (irony).

sheesh!

i want a sheesh kebab

Well, I want a pointy nosed guitarist, but I’m not about to get one, either, am I?

I’m getting turkey tonight.

I got no turkey :(

i got enough turkey for all of us

also bacon

no hen fap though, eh?

to be fair, “that stinks” isnt very constructive

it still stinks, though

Anyway.

ILX *is* back, but basically just to note where we currently stand, so to quote Andrew’s message there:

—-

ilxor.com

What has happened to I Love Music/I Love Everything?

The hosting arrangements for the current server have been terminated. The server software has been re-written, and a new server has been purchased and will be installed at a new facility in Canada in the coming week. To make things more difficult, the server went down unexpectedly around the 25th of November and we’ve had to keep the site down in order to preserve the ILX database.

When will ILX be back?

When the new server is installed. This should be some time around the first few days of December. Watch this space for more specific details in the near future.

Who can I email to complain about this?

Complaining won’t help. We have everything under control at the moment, it’s just a time thing.

Where else can I go while this happens?

Why not do the work you’re supposed to be doing? Either that or try the ILX sandbox.

Last updated: 27/11/2006

And there ya go.

This is actually well timed. I hope nu-ILX doesn’t come back up until the 10th or so — I don’t need the distraction.

It’ll likely be shorter than that, so plan accordingly. ;-)

I still can’t figure out how to properly log in here. I’ve registered, I enter my name and password, get a login successful message, and then I’m still not logged in.

Sounds like a cookie thing. Yr entry looks fine in the user db.

cookies r enabled. Honest!

No Andrew message here, all I get is

Site Temporarily Unavailable

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact the webmaster/ tech support immediately to have them rectify this.

error id: “bad_httpd_conf”

only for community ilx.thehold.net?

I don’t believe that’s only for us. I think you lie like cheap Japanese watch.

Sorry.

sorry everybody &c

don’t worry about it :-)

that was fun while it lasted.

haha

Not a great sign, the box appears to have fallen over.

huh

fallen over?

Well, it’s uncontactable.

it’s back, it got up i guess

Indeed...

we never had all this “maintenance” crap back in the day!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯A month passes⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

The server at ilx.wh3rd.net is taking too long to respond!!1!11!1!1!!

maybe it’s just me.

waht

Hmmm...

This is I Love Everything
The boards are down until they can be secured from JW.

This may take some days.

Oh FFS.

All of our ILXOR boards are missing!!!

Who the hell is JW and what did he/she do????

Jon Williams. Something hacking related beyond my capabilities to explain I am guessing.

FWIW, I haven’t heard anything from anyone about this. If any of the coders would like a 2 second workaround so we can get ilx back up, email me.

Would it really have killed you to have just suggested the workaround in the first place?

When have the admins listened to me?

why does it bother you? you’re the only one who takes advantage of the weaknesses!

I’ve been fucking listening! I’ve been looking at the spam-sorting solution you talked about, and I implemented your idea on PEW as soon as I read it.

I’m no longer interested in workarounds for the old code. It’s riddled with holes. One could do an injection from the name field for a while there! I’m not going around attempting to close every damn hole solely to prevent *you* from taking advantage of it.

You *know* we’re moving to new code. There is no advantage to “testing” the old code.

They don’t listen to you or trust you because you keep pulling shit like this and then unnecessarily playing the victim, perhaps? And because half the time when you DO stop being dickish and actually make a constructive suggestion from the off it’s taken on board and you are usually thanked?

(xpost)

I’m enjoying the computer kittens, though. Thank you for that!

I had a gray manx just like that one!

Its not like I locked everyone out of posting to ILX. That was the real admins!

There’s no reason for ILX to be locked. I don’t want this to get into people accusing me of seeking attention or whatever. But I had admin on ILE and I did notthing to try to annoy everyone or publicly show off. No one else (other than the admins) know how I did it, so kindly stop blowing this out of proportion and unlock ILX. Or do you feel that you need to crucify me in the court of public opinion so the few miserable cunts who dislike me can have a great argument for banning me?

hi dere

I did notthing to... publicly show off. (sic)

vs

No one else (other than the admins) know how I did it

Alex in SF, you’ll regret the lack of googleproofing, I tells thee...

Also, fwiw someone mentioned there had been a CSS flood on a Sh1mura Curv3s thread on thehold(?) that I had been accused of doing. Not me!

Aldo, the point being, there’s no reason for ILX to be down. Now I’m going to brunch so I won’t be around. bye!

When have the admins listened to me?

— jw (jon@////), February 11th, 2007

Jon, I’ve listened to you many times! You’ve emailed me about googleproofing stuff in the past, and I’ve got onto it str8away, just the same as I wd do for anyone! I even emailed you the other day to ask you what that “fuck you googleproof me” thing was about.

FWIW, I looked at ilx this morning (uk time), ACCIDENTALLY looked at the modlog on ile, and noticed that Jon had carried out a couple of admin actions last night, checked the admin page on ile, and found that he had somehow added himself to the ile moderators list with full privs. I emailed stet about this, and he pulled the site. I think stet did the right thing, because if Jon can exploit vunerabilities in the old code, so can other ppl. Getting in at top level means among other things, the ability to delete the entire database. Personally, I can’t see Jon doing this. Other people I don’t know about.

so if you’re worried about the other people, why does ILX say boards are down untill they can be secured from Jon? It does make it sound like he’s sitting there destroying ilx. If that’s the case, it’s one thing...

Everybody:

Jon found a security hole in ILX that lets him get access to the database. Full access, so he can give himself mod privs, delete posts, threads, boards, the whole site.

He didn’t tell Keith or me how he did it, he just took advantage of it. Keith and I are the only people with access to the server right now. We both have full-time jobs. The old ILX code running depends on people not trying to break it, or hack in.

If Jon is going to hack the boards by finding holes — of which there are many — we can’t leave them up without doing a lot more admin work to try and stop him. On top of which, the new host’s backup system hasn’t been set up yet, so we have no backups right now.

We’re going to move to the new secure code. It’s not quite ready, it hasn’t had all the features fleshed out, but it lets you post and is largely secure.

thanks for the update, stet.

“Alex in SF, you’ll regret the lack of googleproofing, I tells thee...”

Is this a threat?

I don’t want this to get into people accusing me of seeking attention or whatever.

good luck with that

Um.. If you all know the code is bad & full of security holes, and are already in process of moving to the new secure code.. What is the problem? It seems like the “ILX is down” message should say that ILX goes back up when the board is secure, period, not when the board is secured from JW.. Can a backup be done quickly just for safety’s sake and then the board be put it back up now with the notice that the code isn’t fixed yet but nobody using the board is to do that again or risk being banned. After all the admin log did show immediately what happened and I presume it would show it again.
