  Re: Re: at least it is something.

  I feel as though I sorta owe you an apology. What you are doing here is as commendable as my days are long. It just pains me to see you being dragged behind a horse pushing a cart to make a point.
  
  Props to you though bro. Make it out of this and you can write you own ticket. Don't let em take you alive lol...

  Nigel Lew ( profile ), 12 Jan, 2015 @ 11:19am

  I am currently waiting on a notice to be visible to me there. I admin a forum for some folks that is currently pretty slow.
  
  I woke up one day over the holidays to find about 20 thousand spam posts from a manual login but they clearly released a bot once they did. Mostly links to watch crap online.
  
  Once I figured out how to mitgate the issue(which took all damn day with xenforo) I checked my email and noticed I got some ham-fisted bullshit not only in webmaster tools but from my host as well.
  
  A week later I still want to smack someone around about it.
  
  Slightly off topic I know but as I don't know who to bitch at yet I had to vent lol...
