Hacked Site (again) · 11:41am Nov 4th, 2013
RANT INCOMING
Okay, fucking seriously? Does this prickjob have such a low brow, piss poor life that he must make it miserable for everyone around him? I mean, come on. Grow the fuck up. Messing with a site like that only proves that your an attention seeking little kid. Nothing more, nothing less. Get out of your mother's basement and do something useful with your otherwise useless life. I can't view any of my own stories, I can't view anything in the featured box, I can't view the sequel from one of my favorite authors on the site thats in the featured box, can't view my groups, can't do much of anything-- all because this cock block seems to think he has to take his preteen frustrations out on people that have done absolutely nothing to him whatsoever. I can't even post my newest fic I was getting ready to release because of you. Now that's gonna have to be pushed back a couple of days while they try to fix your Celestia forsaken mess. I wouldn't even be surprised if no one will be able to see this blog. I swear to Luna, kid, if I ever find out where you live I'm going to hunt you down and knock some sense into you. I very rarely ever get angry at anything, but I am way beyond pissed at you right now. [/end rant]
Now, for those who are yet unaware, the site has been hacked once again. Someone (very unlikely the real kaidann, who does not even spell his username like that and who is a rather decent author who knows how to use punctuation) decided it would be amusing to block most features of the site by linking you to a page with the words, "dont ban kaidann!!11!11!!" all across the screen. And naturally, he made me so mad I just had to go ranting about it. That being said, I'm afraid my newest fiction is going to have to wait before being published. I'm not about ready to publish it and have that fucker screw it up somehow. So, I apologize. I also had new chapters of Valkyrie and Peacekeepers ready, but again, thanks to this jerk, can't get them published. There are rumors that some functions work for some, and don't work for others. I'm one of the ones who cannot view my own fictions. If I can't view my fictions, I can't post new stuff. So, I guess ya'll can anticipate updates as soon as the site is back to a semblance or normalcy.
Cheers, my faithful readers, and I am sorry for the random rant from nowhere. I just.... grr!
Ah, I see what you mean...
Okay, yeah, site's not hacked. Problem just occurs from this "Brony Dingus" person posting a comment that apparently exploits *something*. I ain't a web dev though so I don't really know what's going on, but I sure as hell am curious how this exploit works.
Well that's my theory anyways. What I can glean from the page source.
EDIT:
Eeyup, basically just taking an image and telling it to draw that image repeatedly over your entire page. It also gives it an index of 9999999 so that it draws at the very top.
If you delete that little <p> node in his comment data the problem goes away.
I haven't seen that before so I kinda consider myself lucky...
Anyway, I'm looking forward to see what you have in store for us once this [redacted] is taken care of
So that's what happened.....ahem, when I first started on fimfiction (officially, I've been reading here for a long time) after a few weeks I couldn't like or favorite anything, and the site started moving extraordinarily slow. After a while, 'bout a week I'd like to say, it went away, but my mobile still no longer works. So in conclusion, you have my sympathies. Nothing is worse than having to postpone a fic just because a hacker's being an ass.
1480858 1480899 1481015 I kind of feel stupid for not bothering to inspect the elements of the webpage. I know enough about what I'm looking for to know something was there that did not belong. I blame lack of sleep...
Oh, did I miss some stuff going on? Or is it still in effect?
Regardless, I'm sorry to hear you're upset. Don't worry, I think we can all wait a bit more!
Go have some fun!

Trust me, done that more than once. I get most of my best work done when I'm supposed to be sleeping......because my thoughts won't SHUT UP! They yell at me...
