Damn, no quotes from me either. They've chosen a few to make fun of, and have no doubt taken these posts out of context. Easily done.......not a biggie.

lol actually, in general, someone "nominates" a board to be made fun of. Than the writer of the article goes there and researches. Most of the writers there get paid, I believe, so he had incentive.

Free publicity! Whoo!

I didn't think we were big enough to get on SA's radar.

There are juicier bits you could have used, like the pregnant from fingering thread. However, I'm sure you realized that the real charm of the site is not what the new members of the forum post (which is what your excerpts mostly focus on) but how the standing members discuss the topics presented. Where else can you openly discuss topics that say, oh, an average SA member would burn down in flames? Of course, that wouldn't be keeping with the message that SA brings. Good luck on your future endeavors.

Actually, the gun forum there had a whole thread about you last year. It's archived now and you can't see it if you're not a member with archive access, though. They were more amused by ziadel's Ron Paul signature.

Weekend Web is posted in a forum not viewable by the public, and this week's screenshots were submitted by 20 people, most of which were fro go supermodel. Only 3 people pulled anything from TFP, and none of their identities cross-reference to any established members here.

All we do is go to the forum index, click any subforums that might have something amusing, and maybe dig two or three pages into each forum for promising thread titles (sex, relationships, anythign that might be embarrassing.)

double edit: I completely missed this week's call for WW stuff, or I would have given a heads-up here so we could have given them some really wacky shit to work with.

anyway... Taking a few things out of many things and because the few look silly making comments about the whole is fine if they are just having a laugh.

Making fun of anorexic 14 year old girls is kind of loathsome though.

is it more about my rugged good looks, or my imposing intellectual stature?

guessing it is just a whole load of people hating on IDF guns.

i know everything I will ever, ever, need to know about guns - it doesnt concern me if some people know a lot more.

There are only two people with the network solutions login, and neither of us have logged in or made any change. I haven't logged in for months actually. Network Solutions is supposed to be investigating it.

As a funny side note, Ass Tone (aka Acetone, the guy who's been doing weekend web,) was banned for trolling a few days ago and hasn't re-registered yet (for those who don't know, a SA ban is just until you cough up another $10, a permaban keeps you out for good.)

edit: the current announcement:
Quote:
We've had some issues with DNS today (01/02/08) which may be making the site inaccessible for some users. If you have arrived here via IP address, or someone you know is having problems reaching the site, helpful goon xarph posted these instructions on how to add manual entries to your host file to reach SA properly. This will work, but if you do this, make sure you remember to remove the manual entries at a later date to avoid problems down the line. Stick a post-it note somewhere so you don't forget.

Alternatively, you could update your system's DNS resolver to use caching nameservers that are more current. I'll leave that as an excercise for the reader, since I don't have any good public resolvers to recommend. And I'm lazy.

If you have experienced anything out of the ordinary, it would be wise to change your forums password as a precaution. Report any instances of account tampering to support and we'll fix you up.

Well, what happened!?

At 12:50PM CST, someone logged in our account at our domain registrar and updated "somethingawful.com" nameservers to point to Network Solutions' placeholder nameservers. Everyone started getting the NSI placeholder page, as if the domain was not setup yet.

A goon at our ISP noticed this shortly after and called me. We corrected the nameservers and changed our account username and password with our registrar. The change went through at 1:12pm CST and all was well.

Until 2:51pm CST, that is, when the domain was altered again by unknown forces. The whois information was returning the same placeholder domains as before. Lowtax called NSI and got ahold of someone slightly helpful, and he locked the domains for us so they could not be tampered with further.

At this point, it does not appear the compromise occurred via anyone at SA or via the domain email account. I'm reluctant to believe Network Solutions may have some vulnerability that allowed this, but we are not ruling that out. Whatever the case, this should never have happened. For now, I'll just blame myself!

The domain has been locked for hours now, but people are still running into strange goings on. We have no knowledge of who did this or why, and we don't really care. It's the internet - shit happens. To us, usually. We will be reviewing our registrar situation to ensure our identity is secure in the future.

Never a dull moment! 2008 will be fun.
