My family had lunch at Glory Days today. I'll be the first to admit that I've had some "less than wonderful" experiences there in the past, but they seem to have stepped up their game since the last time I visited. And let's face it, their "$5.50 burger Monday" (a happy surprise) is hard to beat around here in a sit-down restaurant, and it's always nice when the staff actually understands what

All that's needed is the ending "" tag in a signature. You're basically using an injection to close out another injection. The "re-opening" post won't be visible, but then posting can resume as normal. In order to do this, you have to have a registered account which allows you to have a signature, and it has to have been open for a certain amount of time (I'm guessing three months) which allow

I suspect the "view counts" were getting inflated because so many people were in the "single message" reading mode to get around the CSS injections, so one person reading a thread with 10 messages could count as 10 views. I don't think that Google takes view counts into account, at all -- there'd be no way to trust the numbers, and it would require special parsing code for each site that showed

DBM doesn't seem to be alone in the "had enough" category. I don't know that stopping him is going to win the war. There's "Mr. Bumpy" who figured out that pulling up old threads also renders the site all but meaningless. If he's using Tor, or proxies, you can probably forget about shutting that down at all. If he switches user names with every post, it'll be nearly impossible to clean up, to

Yeah, I'm familiar with that law, but as I said, I'm not sure that he's broken it, or that the charge would "stick". He hasn't altered anything, technically, he hasn't disabled anything, and he certainly hasn't erased any data. It's likely that he could even argue the "malicious intent" portion. Again, it's not a chance I'd want to take, but it's not a slam-dunk on the criminal side, either.

I'm not even sure that it IS a criminal offense. He's copying and pasting text, but I'm not convinced that he understands why it works. Certainly, there's a civil case if Cary can show damages or lost revenue, but since the site doesn't accept advertising, lost revenue would be a tough sale, and since all of the "DBM" posts can probably be deleted with a couple of clicks, he really can't make t

Look up "Protected Free Speech" sometime... it doesn't begin to cover what goes on here. We have laws regarding slander, libel, and threats for a reason. As long as the "moderator" is protecting those offenses, then he's undermining ACTUAL "free speech".

Not Scott: "I doubt that it's Scott doing this. ... Not his style" I'm inclined to agree. The fact that he said that he's never done an injection attack against this site - and explained why he never will - seems to escape many of the "sleuths" around here, though. I think it's safe to assume that he's not "Honey Boo Boo", either.
