Are you still seeing this in the newsfeed? I can't seem to find it.

I messaged Mac about the search. My guess is that it's crapping out in need of more memory allocated to the script, and I don't think Dreamhost lets you edit your php memory allocation settings. Once again the site is met with the limitations of dreamhost.

Yes. I am using Google as my RSS reader.  I re-subscribed today and got the same issue.  I don't believe it to be a memory issue.

I fucked up the address and was sent to Google and saw this:

So, what happened?

We were hacked! Apparently, some bots were able to worm their way into our site from a previous hack years ago.

Things are hopefully cleaned up now. Sorry for the inconvenience. We now return you to your regularly scheduled xixax.


On the bright side, the Search seems to be working.

...HHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY????

(That's the end bit to the "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..." I started 12 hours ago.)

And now I know why.

We should have just told everyone we took the site offline for a few hours to fix the search and we would look like heroes right now.

Glad it's back up. I actually had to do work yesterday.

Take 2

So, the phising hack was rooted deeper than thought and we were targeted again. Hopefully, it is all cleared out now.

Apologies. But we are on our computer expert's free time to help us out with these matters.

We hope you will and thank you for sticking with us.

Which one of you poor bastards was responsible for this?  :yabbse-angry: I bet it was the playlist.

If anyone wasn't aware, in case Xixax goes down for longer than a day, our official backup location / meeting place is imdb's Magnolia message board:

I'm not kidding... we've used it in the past.
