Alright peoples, there - I've managed to get the <RandomPages> tag functional. Turned out to be a massive error in the code thanks to the way things had changed in the calling parameters. So we've got the random pages showing up on the front page again, though there are some limits in the tag right now. It could be easily solved and made more robust, but there is no chance I'm going to risk screwing up the tag again right after I've gotten it working properly. Anyway... There are now the "Five Random Stories" on the front page again - Enjoy!

Some enterprising idiot in California (Santa Clara/SF Bay Area) has taken it upon themselves to mirror the entirety of Shifti using a really crappy piece of MacOS software named "SiteSucker". If that person happens to be reading this, then please - F*CK OFF! If you were to actually '''''ASK''''' any admin, we'd be more than happy to point you at backups of the database that we have available. Oh, and F*CK YOU VERY MUCH for being such a douche that you flipped the "ignore robots.txt" switch and also turned the settings so high that you've managed to [[wikipedia:DoS|DoS]] the site repeatedly.

And yes, I am very irritated. There is no reason for me to have to forcibly restart Apache multiple times in one day. Please, forgive the language, but I learned a long time ago that some idiots only respond to strong language.

Revision as of 19:00, 12 April 2011
Alright peoples, there - I've managed to get the <RandomPages> tag functional. Turned out to be a massive error in the code thanks to the way things had changed in the calling parameters. So we've got the random pages showing up on the front page again, though there are some limits in the tag right now. It could be easily solved and made more robust, but there is no chance I'm going to risk screwing up the tag again right after I've gotten it working properly. Anyway... There are now the "Five Random Stories" on the front page again - Enjoy!

In similar news, Comcast has been contacted over this matter in an attempt to resolve this without having to involve lawyers. DoS and DDoS attacks are illegal in the US - and since this person is clearly a US Citizen, I can easily file a lawsuit. However... I am loathe to do such, because I would get nothing out of it except for a lawyers bill.
And yes, I am very irritated. There is no reason for me to have to forcibly restart Apache multiple times in one day. Please, forgive the language, but I learned a long time ago that some idiots only respond to strong language.
