There are things is this world called libel and slander, both of which are illegal in the US...apparently that's the only thing SA does is libel/slander everything else on the web.

You say it's hilarious? Fine...just don't complain to anyone when your site ends up on there as the awful link of the day and they cut you up like a turkey, metaphorically speaking.

I would'nt complain, like I said, somethingawful is designed to rip apart websites to make others laugh, if it's MY site one day so be it, I'll still laugh

I noticed that... I was waiting for her to make a post.
Atleast she knows we all support her, and I hope she dosn't get too let down about what happened, because it was obviously a bunch of 12 year old "l33t haxxorz" That did it.

*damnhooligan* · 10-09-2003, 09:36 AM

The best course of action would be to try to locate who put that signature in the guestbook by geographically pinpointing their IP (if logged), and then contact the appropriate ISP about abuse. Even then, chances of any actions being made are remote. Worth a shot though.

The only shots possibly made against SA would be regarding republication of excerpts and images from her site without permission. Such cases rarely see the light of day, though.

I just hope crap like that doesn't get her down. It's quite obvious (from this thread alone) that a good number of people enjoy Brina's site and support it.

**HorseTechie** · 10-09-2003, 11:20 AM

I suppose Roseangleo can help in doing that too. The Splunkyard is her webserver on which she let Brina have a subdomain.

The thing that gets me about how SA was nitpicking on Brina's site, was more about the act of writing fanfic. It didn't sound to me like they were saying her site in itself sucked. It sounded like the mere act of writing (alternate universe) fanfic was stupid. In that case, any of our sites are vulnerable, to have the slightest thing on them ridiculed. And THAT is the part that makes me leary about the manner that SA conducts these "pick apart a site" games. ANYONE is vulnerable! Especially if they have even harder to control 'vultures' that linger about to furture slag the site.

*JameO* · 10-09-2003, 02:32 PM

They talk about writing fan fics and that makes them happy. But don't they make stuff for their website. Like Photoshop Phridays and what not. They make stuff for their site and enjoy making and writing stories on certain sites everyday. I hope Brina and whoever was messed up is doing good. That is so stupid. She gets pop up codes in her guestbook just because some fan of SA goes to the site and thinks it's is stupid or "gay" to waste time in a site and do stupid things but isn't making a site like SA just a big waste of time?

Brinatello · 11-01-2003, 07:46 PM

Well, MY TMNT site has been hacked once again, the guestbook is once again removed, and I'm once again having a major fit. I am getting SO TIRED OF BEING VIOLATED THIS WAY!!!! I can't get a hold of Roseangelo right now, so I'll just have to wait till she can fix it. I don't think I'm putting up the guestbook ever again. I have had it, I need to vent. Please, let me vent. Okay, I'm going to vent. *takes in a breath*

DAMN YOU HACKERS! I HOPE YOU'RE ****ING HAPPY!

Okay, I feel better. Now, I'm going to go cry.

*Cascadia* · 11-01-2003, 07:51 PM

I am so sorry Brinatello.....I can not believe that anyone would do such a horrible thing. You have worked so hard on your website. I enjoy it when I do visit it. I keeps me wondering if this would ever happen to my 4 websites.

Meira-Bates · 11-01-2003, 08:15 PM

I already hated "Something Awful" they've 'ripped up' every page they could find on a certain alternate life style a friend of mine lives. While I won't say what this life style is I will say that it is compleatly offensless unless someone totaly scews it the wrong way. The way I see it there is NOTHING funny about "Something Awful"'s awful link of the day. It seems to just be a bunch of prejudice, close minded crap to me -.- No offense to anyone that likes it...but this is the kind of crap that happened to most those sites too, so it's NOT just Brinatello that suffers from being targeted by "Something Awful". IMO if "Something Awful"'s awful link of the day visitors refuse to behave by thier rules, it's obviously a lost cause to try and controll them and the owner should stop running the awful link of the day. I'm sorry...making fun of a simple page is one thing...making fun of someone's abilities, someone's life style, and hacking are NOT jokes!

Misfit · 11-01-2003, 08:20 PM

Well said, ArashiPanduh. I agree. [/quote]

Brinatello · 11-01-2003, 08:26 PM

Well, you tell me if it's hacked. The link is removed from the web site but the file still exists. Tell me what you see when you click it. I promise it won't crash your computer, you'll just be...disgusted.

[Edit: Link removed. --Krang]

Meira-Bates · 11-01-2003, 08:33 PM

You might not wanna do that till it gets fixed @.@ you could get in trouble with what they put on there...it redirected me to that disgusting thing a few seconds into the loading of your guest book

*damnhooligan* · 11-01-2003, 08:36 PM

The link-redirection code is in the guestbook entry from "the giver", I believe it's the top on the list. I was able to snag the source code before it redirected to the goatse site. I'll toss you a copy of the source code, if you're interested and point out where and what the code looks like.

Unfortunately, your guestbook allows HTML, therefore anyone could put a code, picture, or something far more malicious in there.

Misfit · 11-01-2003, 08:39 PM

Brinatello, I'm sorry you fell victim to such pathetic bullies. Just remember you are better than they are. If it's worth anything I think your site and stories rock, they've given me a lot of enjoyment since I found them.

Splinter · 11-01-2003, 08:42 PM

Sorry they targeted you with such immature acts, Brinatello. And agreed, you may want to remove that link. So someone underage doesn't see that filth. The first thing I would suggest doing, is getting rid of the HTML capabilities of the guestbook. If you can't, just remove the guestbook entirely for now.

*Cascadia* · 11-01-2003, 08:58 PM

I would take the link off until you get it fixed. That is a true shame on how they treating with super immature acts. They put their guestbook in place of yours.

Meira-Bates · 11-01-2003, 09:08 PM

It takes a lot to get me to read fan fics...that or sheer boredom....but your fan art is great Brinatello ^.^ and I had to say somthing when I saw him in your archive... "Oh Mi Gosh it's Darkturtle!" Hehe, I really love some of your stuff, like the plushie, lots of your drawings, of course I like DT, it's so rare to find anything of DT (who cares if he is just...well I posted a thread on him some months back that had my theroies of what DT really was).

EDIT: *rolls laughing at herself* I can't belive I typed fan Fart and didn't notice!

**Machias Banshee** · 11-01-2003, 09:26 PM

Geez, these people need to get a fricken life...

Brina, dont give up...we're all here for you....
