In process of deleting the ass yet again.

What I can tell you all for certain is that Whoever is doing this, it's all automated I'm almost positive it's the same one or a few people this one is spoofing an IP range which is totally unrelated to this user (ICANN) *sighs*

I'm almost certain this is the same one or two people doing this.

Already working on it

'Tis the season I guess... This one plagiarised two different stories, from two separate authors. First story... original- plagiarised version- Second story... original - plagiarised version- Let's hope this one doesn't make a return appearance...

Theft the third... original - plagiarised copy- Needless to say, we don't like plagiarism. But this one was really, really bad. 3 stories, 3 separate authors. SHEESH.

Well, we only have proof of three of 'em (because I deleted the other two stories before one of the other mods could finish researching 'em...oops). Anyway... This user signed up in mid December, and in two days put up 5 stories. As I said, 3 of those 5 we have proof of plagiarism. It's LIKELY the other 2 that were up were also plagiarised. Theft the first... Original - plagiarised copy - Theft the second... original - plagiarised copy-

This one decided to plagiarize one of our users who goes by Booknerd_Miss She changed the title, added a few things, but otherwise copied the first story exactly. original story-- plagiarized version-- These people never learn do they??

It's also possible that the database server was rather busy at the time you got the error. The arcade IS working, more or less. There are some things which may not, until I fix the skins.

Enter Sandman

Wouldn't this be per sub domain?

This particular troll has been deleted EIGHT TIMES now from the archive. Archive profile Has a bad habit of posting "story" upon "story" of nothingness....which does nothing but take up database space.

It wasn't just all the youtube access which caused your slowdown, I'm sure. I would be checking their systems for downloaded stuff as well. Because that's the reason they gave you for bottlenecking, basically, was that you exceeded what they (your ISP) considered fair bandwidth usage. Depending on the ISP, that usage doesn't have to be a whole lot, in reality. It's why I have to pay extra to ensure I ALWAYS have good connection and don't get bottlenecked. With the ftp stuff I do, and various other things, were I on a normal connection, that would happen to me too.

The ONLY subdomains that were not spambombed were books, cartoons, comics, celebrities, tv, original, non english, yugioh, and yuyu. Everything else was nailed to some degree or another. It also tends to coincide even more frequently with major holidays.

There is a pinned topic in this forum where users request a new category. Be aware though that we require that the person asking already have something ready to upload before the sub category is created.

To edit your profile, you would select "My Controls" from the top menu. Once you make the changes you want, and click "Amend Profile", you should see a little box that says "settings updated". For the avatar, below are the requirements. As long as the file you are using is no bigger than 75kb in size, the avatar utility will resize it to where it's no bigger than 150x150.

NO NO I cleaned up a review bomb attack. We have not yet implemented this tool, as we are making certain it won't make the old code inoperative. As soon as we do, I'll ask for guinea pigs. This tool IS implemented in the forum, and the forum ONLY at this point in time.

Not a prob. I'm anticipating (groans) that I will have to do this a third day, meaning tomorrow morning as well. That's generally the pattern to this crap. One to three days of it. ugh.

generally when we get a spam bomber, it goes for 1 to 3 days. So I am anticipating coming home to having to clean this up a third day in row tomorrow morning. In any case, it's all gone. Again.

not a bother. this is one of the ways I know I have to do a massive s&d of garbage... which I did, all of it is gone

troll has been deleted two days in a row now...

yep, same asshat. not surprised at that though, that is generally how these jerks operate. All the garbage is gone

under 5 different pen names actually. 2453 stories throughout the archive. All of 'em are gone.

killed it and the other spam fics
