taking sides: Livejournal v ILXor

i looked and i could see the boat drifting over the horizon

Yeah, that's pretty much been my impression, with the same stereotypes at play.

Any goddamn chance to write a list!

how do you do this?

On the Edit Information page, just tick the box for "Minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results."

It's a fair question and the answer is I want to make it a little more special than just a normal email. Even with a standard blog design it would look as though some effort went into it (and it is going to be far too long in terms of content for a standard email or Hotmail attachment).

The content is not particularly person-specific, and I'm not bothered about people randomly stumbling across it on Google - it's simply that I would like this person to see it first (and if anyone else likes it it's a bonus yes I know) 'cos basically it is for her.

im going to troll da fuck outta that gayboy

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I don't believe I know a single goth or emo on LJ. If I do, that's not the primary way they define themselves online.

This is not meant to be argumentative, btw, simply to point out possible observer bias - one tends to find what one is looking for.

Basically, there's a cookie security flaw in Firefox that means domains that have domain.com/user/blah subdirectories were somehow vulnerable (I dont know the tech details). LJ had suffered from some hacking that meant some user's accounts were logged into maliciously to cause shenanigans.

To prevent this and further problems they've swapped from subdirectories to subdomains. However due to the fact DNS standards don't allow leading underscores they've had to not let any users with a leading undercorre (eg __freddy) to use a subdomain. They instead get some longwinded workaround, and so were offered free rename tokens. Paid up users got offered useless phone posts (which no one but americans can even use) as a gesture of good faith compromise.

The shit's now hit the fan and people are whinging all over the place.

Hours of amusement reading those news comments.

anyway, its just some cross site scripting BULLSHIT

God knows why anyone would want to haxxor a fat emogoth teen's LJ in the first place :/

goths are kind of fat
