In the event anyone was wondering why alien fishbowl didn't update last week or this week- the site has been hacked.

The site was hacked and the person who watches over it and deals with all the problems has had a shit ton of crap to deal with  (like getting infected teeth FINALLY removed and having to hunt up some wage slave job to get ends to meet cuz nobody can pay her husband correctly ((the economy is GREAT everyone))) on top of the site getting hacked and infected. Plus *my* job sent me off some where and I'm surprised I can even get internet at this point. This is NOT helping me learn that death threats don't solve stressful problems.  I would like to learn a way to solve problems without death threats and yet death threats are what gets me something that looks like results- shoddy and held together with spit and tape results but what ever.

anyway- site hacking and work got in the way of updates.

And latter the me going out into the field will get in the way of up dates if the site dose not stop getting hacked. Which it won't cuz this keeps happening and has been getting worse.

That sucks. We're looking into using a blog website to update our comics, Ron tells me it would be much easier and we wouldn't have to pay for our webspace. Have you guys looked into that at all?

Probably have.

The issue, I think, is not the site so much as something keeps getting into the other computer and infecting the site that way. I say infected, probably should have used the word hacked. The computer has been getting hacked and infected by some hacker.

Our web service is $10.00 year- or my part for alienfishbowlonline is $10.00 .

Well, interestingly enough the wordpress sections of the site were also hacked. The entire area was hacked: comiccms, wordpress, php wiki, php forum... if it was an area with index as the starting page it went down. The thing is, though: I was able to bring the non-wp areas up faster because they were cms/php code one could simply overwrite. WP proved not to be that simple.

So far the simple fix is to change the ftp password. We'll see.

We pay for our space because we wanted to own our own domain names and do things other sites don't offer. The ads are ours and would bring revenue if we had the readers, etc. And it's not that expensive.

When I tried to build a WP comic site - the rage these days y'know - I hated it. I hated the layout, how it worked, how I was limited in certain ways, etc. They're tidier. That's... about it. But I guess I'm just a free spirit.

But yeah. I am tired of hearing how easy and rich soldiers are and how everyone "supports the troops" while charging soldiers double. Yes, I'm not joking. Double. :-P
