The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Thank you, people!

From the Wiki, they would be able to find the address of the Board.

But these were Suethors who had responded nicely to my concrit and asked for help improving their work--not the sort I'd expect to be behind a vicious spam attack.

But anyone who Googles "PPC" can find Miss Cam's website, which links to the Board.

MINE! *Misses and falls into the stampede of Ypurs*
I've been looking for a Pokemon fic to PPC / MST. It's one of my favourite fandoms, and so is Digimon. *Sighs*.

ANywho, *Pulls out spork*

*And goes off stalking the person behind the spam-bot*.

Might I enquire, what kind of acid is this? Because I only use Grade A Basilisk Poison as mine. It burns, AND it kills if you don't get burnt.

Enjoy. Sorry it's late.

It's an old Pokemon/Digimon crossover badfic.

PS: I've just discovered that the Urban myth about Digimon being older than Pokemon is just that-an Urban myth. See here for details:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Digimon.
Since the Urban myth has been gospel truth to me for about five years, I feel...shattered. Yes, I know it's immature, but I just can't help it. Can someone please tell me that all i'm seeing is just vandalism or false assumption? I'm just not ready to go past the denail stage yet.

Another PS: I've left fandoms for less. I hope I won't have to leave this one. It's been so important to me!

Yet Another PS: Sorry for any errors in grammar.

I'd totally PPC it. I'd find doing so hilarious.

I'd also probably create a sockpuppet account and post AUs on what was going to happen if it was a series and then put in the disclaimer [X Universe] DOES belong to me! Ahahahaha! Just because I get bored of reading [X Universe] doesn't belong to me. BAWWW.

Besides which, I doubt it is your fault. If someone approached me for an internet interview (hey, alliteration! :D) I wouldn't think to google their penname. I'd just sit down and do the questions, and tell them if teir was something I found offensive.

Besides which, you're not getting spam on your LJ account, so I doubt it's them. I might be demonstrating my complete naivety on the minds of badficcers here, but I don't think that it's your fault. Partly because I doubt they'd be this dedicated.

I assumed the 4chan livejournal page (i.e. 4chan(dot)livejournal(dot)com) was the extent of it all. I didn't realise there was more to it. *is an intarnetz noob*

Find your own thin skinned person to acid etch!

*hands over acid beaker* Would've been fun... *pouts*

I'm pretty good with stylesheets. Let me know what you need tinkered with.

If nothing else, I knew I'd get a sane, intelligent, reasonable response from y'all.

Put the acid away, Sedri. I see you holding it there behind your back, trying to pretend like you aren't! ;p

I didn't make it to the botanical gardens when I was there, unfortunately. Next time!

Because of my interviews of various authors for my university essay - I included a bunch of obvious badficcers (some of whom never responded), including a Legendary Badfic author (who did respond).

It wouldn't have been hard for any one of them to google my penname and find both my livejournal (which does link to the PPC, as I archive my missions there), my FFN account, and the Board, all three of which appear in the first two pages of a google search.

I don't think I said anything offensive to anyone, but the very fact that I went out and interviewed some *cough* 'Highly Sensitive' authors about their work, while being part of a community that so blatently mocks it, could have offended them. (I'm not inclined to suspect the Legendary Badfic author, though, as his tone in the emails was quite satisfied, but then again, I could be wrong.)

If this is the case... guys, I am SO sorry. I considered using a second (little used) penname to send my interviews to the badficcers and other random writers (as opposed to the people who know me by this name), but figured that it would be all too easy for them to be connected (how many people do the same project at the same time?), so I didn't bother.

Until now, I didn't really think it was connected, but from what you've said above, Dann... well, the timing is just too close.

I really, really hope I'm wrong. I'm even hoping that the offended spammer (if that is indeed the case) found this through another link just so I can stop feeling guilty. It wasn't even a foolish choice on my part, but if this is the result... damm, I'm sorry.

...Or near enough (Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire border) Oxford is the name of the city, Oxfordshire is outside the city limits. There IS a very nice botanic garden in Oxford, but it isn't THAT big, and the only livestock are waterfowl who will come and mug you for food!

We're on your side. Comfort yourself with this thought: that thin skin of theirs won't hold out long. Eventually they'll be sorry. (Of course, acid may help speed the process...(

I'd be flattered beyond belief, and twice as much if the PPC went after the badfic.

As for reading the fanfic, it's hard not to remember what happened to MZB. I'd love to read what they wrote -- but I wouldn't dare. People like OTW would make me twice as paranoid as they already do, since it would be my work they'd be trying to stake a legal claim on.

Ah, yes, I misunderstood which logs you meant. I really should be doing my sleeping somewhat more horizontally.

If you want to discuss this out of view of the perpetrator, contact me via the Pit or GAFF and I'll give you my email. For obvious reasons I don't want to post it here; I'd rather not find it being used to solicit ypur pics in some other forum.

The first attack came from an IP belonging to a web hosting website, cyrtexhosting.com. I E-mailed their abuse line, and they agreed that flooding our forum was most definitely abuse worth terminating the account that was responsible, but they needed the logs from yourwebapps.com to work out who it was. I E-mailed yourwebapps.com's abuse line, and while they deleted the spam posts, they didn't send the logs to either myself or Cyrtex.

You are entirely correct, though, there is something about this that definitely does not add up. I'm still trying to work out exactly what it is...

You're not going to get the logs. 72.167.203.129 traces back to a proxy server. Several, actually, including unblockedspace.com. I don't have the IP from the previous attack, but I wouldn't doubt that it was another one. Kind of by definition, they don't have or won't hand over logs, and getting their host's logs will generally require a court order.

What's intersting is the binservices connection. That's the email address listed on binservices.com ... are they the targets of a joe job? Why are we getting flooded with something that is apparently trying to get them spammed or abused? If it's someone who has it in for us, which is certainly possible, why not flood us with some suitable PPC-targeted insults?

There's something about this that doesn't add up. Something missing.

We have you to thank for alerting Techno-Dann in the first place, July. We also have you to thank for helping spread the word so people could find this new haven.
