Someone has hacked Minstrel Boy's thread

[seemslikeadream]

I wouldn't advise trying to read it. I hope to get the attention of a mod here. I couldn't hit the alert

Thanks

1. Can you provide a link?

2. That is nasty.

After I respond to your thread, I am going to alert on it so the mods can take care of Minstrel Boy's thread.

Don't mean to take your thread down. Thanks for this. Minstrel Boy posts good stuff.

4. Some one has bombed the Malloy thread too.

19. WTF??? What a bunch of LOSERS

They can't win the war of ideas, so they pee in the punch.

Childish little pricks---is there a law with which to prosecute them? Can the moderators determine the perpetrator???

They need to be yanked up short!

[JanMichael]

3. Man, I'm like a rat that keeps biting the electified cheese.

They need to lock that ASAP.

11. Ouch! Doh! Ouch! Doh!

I turned image loading off and went in and sent an alert.

[seemslikeadream]

13. That sounds like a good idea

Thanks

[crispini]

5. I went in, and hit alert.

I didn't see anything except a really really big black graphic? I couldn't even tell what it was.

[Swamp Rat]

6. I was able to alert the mods n/t

[havocmom]

7. Was that something about digitaldownloads? My computer went nuts

What was all that? It locked up my machine.

[crispini]

12. Didn't do anything to mine?

But I'm running SP2, adaware, and antivirus.

9. Same thing is happening in the Mike Malloy thread

[Zorra]

10. What happens when you open a hacked thread?

[crispini]

14. I'm not sure, there's not that much HTML you can embed in

this message board. What could they do to your computer that DU wouldn't catch? I don't know.

[htuttle]

17. It's a few hundred image links to very large images

Brings your browser to a halt, by and large.

[crispini]

20. Oh, that's what that is.

Didn't do much to me :shrug:

[ret5hd]

15. i dont know if its a hack...

or just a HUGE graphic. Didnt do anything to me, but i'm on a mac. anymore details?

[dweller]

16. yuck

had to debug and shut down browser and dialup.

did an alert go through?

dp

[Minstrel Boy]

18. Thanks, I alerted. What the hell is that?

I hope people who are prone to seizures don't open it.

[ret5hd]

22. looks to me like they just loaded the same graphic about 1000 times...

my guess is to try to bog the server down. amateurish. pffft. clowns.

[Fenris]

23. Just a random douche, methinks.

Chances are he's left the planet by now.

27. I ran into something on the Anne Coulter thread

a post with that had nothing but blue bubbles that stretched on and on. Though I just checked and the mod caught it. Weird thing was that I was the only one on the thread to mention it.

[seemslikeadream]

29. He got Minstrel Boy's twice

I saw blue bubbles too and the word KHAN

[lenidog]

30. EXACTLY

I don't know what the hell that was about. My guess is that it was a Trekkie Freeper attack.

[Richard Steele]

31. Wow, that guy never quits, does he?

KHAAAAAAAN!

[lenidog]

32. LOL!!

:rofl:

[Catt03]

21. Happened to me to on the American Progress thread....

I am scanning to see If I got anything....

What's going on?

[crispini]

24. Wow, that's three so far.

Cleanup!!

[havocmom]

28. Ditto on truthpusher's wired earth thread

posted in AA forum.

edit: That thread is OK now

for a bit the one on Ann Coulter and profiling was a mess. Evidently somebody is posting huge graphics? Hope the mods have bounced the dim bulb.

25. You can make it go away in preferences.
