Those stupid spambots seem to be back, and seem to find one of Shadowe's pages solely worth puking their crud into.

Max: "Me too."

Thanks. I'll fix it and get Pious or Z to lock out the bot.

Edit: This has now been fixed, and the bot is blocked. Thanks, Zortel!

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Hey! I was in the neighbourhood and saw this. Awesome! I've made an account and will be making things about my characters when i can. Finally, somewhere to put my ideas that people might have a gander at. :P


I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

My SG has been added to the handbook so I'll be adding some stuff about my characters soonish

Spambots are out in force again. Suggest deploying the rocket propelled chainsaw, zombie care bear and velociraptor batallions* to maim, mutilate and destroy them. Or just give them their marching orders.

* = all of which may or may not exist.

Sorted for now; undid their revisions. They seem to be focusing on four pages and making numerous additions to each one.

EDIT: Damn, they're still at it

They've been at it for some time now, with a couple of people, myself included, getting rid of it as soon as we've seen it. It's only been now that they seem to have ramped up the pressure for some reason.

Looks like my Psychonova page has been hit again. Not in a position to correct it myself, so if someone would do the honours, it would be appreciated.

Edit: Got Zortel to block the latest round of bots. Problem solved for now.

Spambots don't know about my banhammer. I heard they like being banned, so I put a banning in their ban so they can be banned while they're banned. Yo, spambots, Imma let you finish but banning is the best feeling of all time.

Ahem. The bots have been IP Blocked.

Lots of reasons, but essentially I felt it was a waste of time. Here's a brief summary of what I'd like to do to improve your current boxes:

Modularity - Users can hide undesired/unused rows, rather than having blank items display a forced default. Users can drop 'modules' in or out of boxes as they desire (this can't be done without implementing hidden rows).

Functionality - Users can modify the colors and positioning of the character box without having to create a separate template. This can be expanded or controlled to allow as much or as little customization as we'd like.
What are your views on this improvement, if the majority speaks out in agreement, we can go ahead with it.

Pious... The main page of the LoRD's is being redirected. Where is the old data that was on it?


- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

Yo Pious, any news on the handbook being frelled up?


 

Posted

No news so far.

Hey Pious and the rest of the Unionverse, passing on an update from the Virtueverse admin about the current site outage: it is being worked on. According to Kadekawa it's going to be a couple days to repair whatever it is that broke, all the sites at virtueverse.com should be back up and running by the weekend. If they get any details from the tech guys on what exactly happened, I'll pass that along as well.

Oh heavens! It is good to finally hear something, thank you great messenger, thank you for letting us know! People of the Unionverse, our handbook has indeed fallen, but behold, the helping hands of the tech guys, gods among men! Let us impart well wishes and good fortune to his humble excellency, wiki overlord Kadekawa, may he salvage our precious memories and ressurect our book of life on Union. Amen my brothers, amen!

*cough* I'm relieved to hear that, Always, thank you. *cough*

*cough* Yay! We're back! Thank you Kay, Alwaysaprice, tech guys and everyone else involved.

Now, I must implore everyone on the Unionverse wiki to please back up their pages. Copy the data onto your PC or SG forums, or something.

Reposting this for you guys from the Virtue Thread:

Probably a good time to note, its a good idea to back up your data on the wiki.

http://www.virtueverse.com/index.php/Special:Export

Go to that page then enter the exact title of you page, it'll export the whole page in a XML wrapper, then if you ever have to restore it its easily done. Obviously have to do images separately. But I always backup my wiki stuff, though mostly because its easier to work on offline where I don't have to worry about losing a massive edit to a browser snafu.
