I nuked my website!

"If you think this is bad, well, it's because of all of the stupid people on the net. You can help this situation by punching the next stupid person you see."

I dunno. It's mostly the pictures. I'm so sick of people on the net just taking pictures from my page and doing nasty things to them.

So I basically tar/gz'ed my entire site, downloaded it to my home computer, burned it to a CD, and then rm -rf'ed the directory on the machine it's hosted from.

I'm slowly adding some things back, like quotefile, resume, PP page, whatnot. I don't think I'm going to put many if any of the Bemani things back. The DDR cosplay is DEFINITELY not coming back. Maybe I'll update the Hasegawa page. At least you can't really do much with something like that.

But, yeah. It felt really good to nuke it. Nuke nuke!

Anyway, if you've been linking to things from my site, and something breaks for you, let me know.

I know exactly how you feel. For years I've had to deal with idiots on web forums linking to my pictures -- not always in a bad way, but often enough to irritate me. I put in .htaccess files to stop folks from linking to my photos directly, and that seemed to fix the problem.

There are a lot of folks out there on the 'net who have made a culture out of incessantly mocking other people. I know how you feel, but there's really no way to deal with stupid people on the net otherwise.

Hm, the .htaccess woulda been smart. Instead I would just move pictures out from under people when I found them directly linked. Not as effective.

I hate Something Awful and the like. What makes me sadder is how nobody wants to have pictures or anything cool up any more because it's so likely that someone will do something nasty to the pictures.
