It's not good.


Yeah, to confirm:

- The posts we lost when my host got wonky: should that happen again, I would just leave the board down until I got a backup from them. I take one backup weekly, and in that case, they knocked us back to one day ahead of where my backup was. They DID offer to restore things after the fact (and I learned that calling them gets stuff resolved faster) so I am fairly confident we won't have a repeat there. I'd just put up a note saying what was going on.

- The spam was just a speed thing: I haven't had decent Internet access the last few days, and it will be a little bit before it's restored. It was a two keystroke thing to delete everything they were responding to, and then restore Jhoh's post. Editing the posts to get rid of the spam was too time-consuming, with what I have to work with. If I leave their posts alone, it raises page rank of whatever dumb shit they were selling, and I have too much nerd rage to let them get away with it. In the future, any time someone replies to a post with the word "grom" in it -- EXCEPT THIS ONE!!!! -- there is the chance that the conversation may be temporary.

Give me one sec and I'll link to the spam posts that the Google Cache grabbed. I did manage to get all of the spam posts up on the Internet Web Archive, but I can't remember my login for that. If you want to see them immediately, double-check any e-mail account you've had in the last 15 years and I think they, or the general jist of it, will be there.
