Blog rolls are hosed
Argggg… Something happened overnight and my blogrolls have gotten hosed – everything listed has been replaced by a single link… not sure if blogrolling got hacked or if its just a bug but until it gets fixed I’m pulling mine…
Bums me out.. thats where I kept my links to all my favorite blogs… Arggggggggg
UPDATE: Looks like blogrolling.com got hacked over the weekend.. Bummer… They’ve restored from backup and I’m gonna see about exporting my rolls so I don’t loose my links to y’all..
Ugg… Do ya ever get the feeling that there is a shocking lack of morals and respect on the loose these days? Between the frequent mop-up I have to do from comment spam, the amount of time we ALL waste with email spam, and hackers pulling stunts like this I’m starting to get really angry (ok.. well not starting). I’ve been sorely tempted to disable comments on my blog cuz of this but thats part of what I enjoy about blogging is the interaction. I’ve heard all the hacker and spammer justification for why they feel they have the right to pull these stunts and, frankly, its all bullshit. Just because our legal system hasn’t caught up with technology (and probably never will) doesn’t give them the moral right to invade our privacy in cyberspace any more than it gives them the right to crawl through the windows of our house… It is all a violation and a simple lack of human respect for other people that they get away with because they’re protected hiding behind their keyboards in some remote location.
Uggg…Sorry… Just venting… this kind of thing just REALLY pisses me off.
Oh.. And thanks to the folks at blogrolling for mopping up after this mess – they shouldn’t have to and I wish I could help them out somehow… Good luck

I thought you said it well when you said, “It is all a violation and a simple lack of human respect for other people that they get away with because they’re protected hiding behind their keyboards in some remote location.”
You put what I was thinking into just the write turn of phrase.
Saw your links page while things were down; talk about desolate… glad to see that it wasn’t permanent. I’d certainly have been gutted.
Yea… and the crappy part of it too is, accroding to the blogrolling folks, there in no reason to believe that the link that all my links were replaced with had anything to do with it… Far as they can tell the culprit used blogrolling as a way of mounting a denial of service attack on that blog by replacing EVERYONE’s blogrol with links to that blog…
really shady
