A Brief Update: Stop Commenting

One of the personal sites that I also host on this web server (for my WoW guild) was hacked and its contents replaced with Russian viagra spam. Although this blog wasn’t affected, I’m going to be restoring the entire server from a backup prior to the attack to be safe, which means any comments made today will be lost. So, don’t make any.

On the other hand, comments made today will disappear, so go nuts! It’s like the old-school server backup wars in UO!

Edit: No rollback will be necessary. Carry on with the server war, though!

Those server wars were classic, I remember getting up at four one morning to tear down three houses in a crowded area to see if we could fit a tower there. The possibility that it would somehow save the removal of the houses but not the tower being set was terrifying.

Sounds like a SQL injection vulnerability.

Unless you solve the vulnerability, it’s going to happen again when some bot randomly picks your IP address again.

Yeah, there are a few security holes that I’ll plug once the backup gets restored.

Of all the reasons I should stop commenting, that you’re about to restore a backup is one of the more benign ones.

Restoring the server just to get rid of some spam proves this blog is carebear.

Not sure if you saw it on the news yet, but Free Realms hit 2 million users. 12 days after they hit 1 million. Yeesh.

Obviously, if your “toy” is “broken”, you need Viagra to get it working again.

Oh man, I remember those server resets. At the time for some reason I didn’t realize what was actually going on, and being that it was so late and I would often find myself thinking about UO trying to sleep at night… it was a long time before I was sure if what I remembered happening was just a dream or not. All part of the mysterious wonder that comes with your first MMO experience I suppose.

Does this mean the post where I professed my undying man-crush to Lum, and told him about the shrine to him in my basement is NOT deleted?

What, no rollback? Come on blues, what’s going on here, we were *promised* a rollback! Also, the hunter pets seeing through stealth bug still hasn’t been fixed and my warlock deserves a free talent respec because you changed a tooltip for one of his talents!

I want my posts duplicated nonetheless prior to an individual rollback, but only after I’ve handed the originals to a friend for safekeeping.

@Rawrasaur I’ve been tinkering around in that game, for FREE, actually I have 3 FREE accounts that I AM NOT PAYING FOR!

The game is fun as balls though, just playing the mini-games alone is fun as all get out.

wait, no rollback? ignore the balls bit. I don’t think balls or “bits” have any place in a game like Free Realms. mwhaha.

I did have a suspicion, “maybe Lum is doing this just to fool the monkeys into crapping their cage for the humorous amusement value of watching them having to endure what’s really going on inside of their little digestion tracts.”

Which was awesome, so I played along with that gamble.

Of course, if that was never his intention, that is a popular enough game with fickle fate for me to still have an agency to blame.

I think that’d be more than funny when he posts that he was able to restore just the parts affected, and that the comments here will remain for all the interwebs to see for years to come.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

A single player game with a lot of minigames is catering to the lowest denominator in videogames.

No wonder that it sells.

Oh and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

I liked the Crafting and Diplomacy minigames in Vanguard, but i wasnt going to pay 15 buck a month for that. And i didnt like that all the races were: EverQuest copys and furrys.

I also wanted to add that Lum hanging to his anti-PvP views in not alike abstinence sex education. PvP is in human nature that you simply cannot deny, your best bet is to prepare for it to best of your ability or it all ends up in tears.

I was going to go on and on about how WoW is evil and causing these kind of things to happen. Instead I will whine about some other game and how the end game, while full of good ideas is missing one thing that makes it that could make it great: FUN! It just isn’t fun. I like lemons, I like limes, I like to rhyme most days. Mean while on another server farm, the golden key on how to merge things seems to have been lost (attacked by the layoff monster?) and people suffer and have to listen about other plans that will most likely cause more problems. If 12 million people do a stupid thing, is it still stupid?

If nothing else, it’s the closest we’ll get to Whamadoodles Online until desperate talentless hacks looking to be provocative decide to create a furry nazi version. (And it’ll sell like hotcakes and destroy its creators.)

Once again, Lum is breaking his promises to the Broken Toys community. This is a slap in the face to all your loyal users that just want to read about Darkfall. You are literally Adolph Hitler.

Did you consider that we might be interested in some fine Russian Viagra? It’s the caviar of the erectile-disfunction medication world. Or so I have heard.

So, I’m waiting for the ganking of Syncaine, Lum. Be honest, that’s the real reason why you downloaded darkfall, isn’t it? The rival bloggery has reached a point where only simulated violence can clear the air.

Syncaine is the old ranter that enjoys pissing off people while still making a valid point on things *which I agree with* whereas Lum comes off as a RAGING HOLE WHERE A VAGINA THE SIZE OF AMSTERDAM(LOL GET IT) USED TO BE
