The PPC Roleplay Board - Latest posts

"No, really, you don't want an Arrakeen sandworm in the middle of here. It is a big, scary monster that could literally swallow this room in one bite. I don't know about you, but I don't feel like being eaten by my own son."

Don't kill this guy just yet. I have a feeling he'd probably end up stalking us all and stabbing us in the ovaries or spleens if we do.

Lady looked flustered. "The Marquis de Carabas was the name Puss in Boots fashioned for his master." She shrugged and finished off her Bleepka.

The Marquis brushes at his lapels. "I am not a cat, after all."

Lady smiles bashfully. "Like the Marquis from Puss in Boots?" she asks.

I just don't want to cause a war with 4channers - we didn't do anything, but you know what they're like.

Yay Techno-Dann!

And don't go avoiding the Board over something like this, 'kay?

He smiles at her. "And I am the Marquis de Carabas."

Lady giggles. "Well, that's what those crazy scientists that I bumped into earlier say. But I wouldn't trust them."

"But you may call me Lady." She giggles a little and sips more of her Bleepka.

Unlike FF.net, IPs tend to get their act together fairly quickly to work at problems, since, y'know, legalities and all that.

We can email them again if necessary. It's probably best if multiple people contact them, that'll get the problem through quicker.

Since, y'know, it's a Sunday and all.

I'm currently in the process of emailing their abuse function, so that should sort it out on their end. The contact is abuseATfdcserversDOTnet (insert punctuation as necessary - no need to attract spambots to them).

Though, an IM thing or whatever'd be keen, since constantly checking the board is tedious. grin

hugs nearest ypur At least we were already hanging out here.

If I get directly harassed again I am going to involve the police.

Doubt that will happen. In all likelihood it's just one person with a grudge.

And I'd say don't bother to avoid the Board.

I am kind of worried by those articles that got linked. I don't want that kind of thing happening if I can avoid it. The kind of behaviour described in the articles is highly illegal, but it's not possible to arrest hundreds of people at a time, and I can't exactly totally avoid the internet forever.

Maybe I should avoid the PPC board for a while?

Not too good with this stuff myself, however, so can't.

And yea, just taking and dealing with it is the better choice rather than getting flustered and upset.

... but the site I reverse-DNSed it on doesn't have anything other than the information that it's coming from the US. Can someone with more tech know-how than me fix it?

I won't go nuts again, don't worry. It's an automated bot this time, there'd be no point. Sorry about when I did. I was just angry.

This is just something we'll have to deal with.

Without getting our knickers in a twist, yeah?


And yes, it can be blocked, but the IP of the bot probably needs to be notified so they can put an end to it on their side of things. Note: I don't have any but the vaguest idea about how to do that.

Look, I'm sorry if I accidentally provoked anything. I didn't mean to do anything wrong if I did.

They're all coming from the same IP as far as I can see. Can we block it somehow?
