Kifu Archive

Hey guys! This isn't anything blind_go related, but I wanted to warn everyone about a nasty virus going around on LJ. You may or may not have seen it already. The virus involves hacked accounts posting youtube videos in places. It's presented either as a youtube link or an embed, and the video seems to be in Portuguese. [Edit: Apparently there's an English version too, but it's just as random. You'll know it when you see it.] DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK OR THE VIDEO. I've removed a couple from kifu_archive already, but if you see any, feel free to poke at me and I'll delete it as soon as I can.

Some more information here and here. I think this thing is attacking comms more than anything else, but be aware in your own journals too- everyone be safe!

Hey guys! I have a couple of things to talk about, so please bear with me!

1. hostilecrayon will be joining the mod team. She will have her own special (but super important) job, so you guys will still mostly be dealing with me. Welcome, Lish!

2. Chat! I meant to post this last weekend, but urgh life. The week has gotten away from me. So the plan here is to try to cater to different timezones. What seems to work most for people looks to be Friday and Sunday, so we'll go with Friday night and Sunday morning. Here's where the previously mentioned hosting stuff comes in, though- I don't get home from work until about 10:30pm or so my time, so obviously someone would need to host before that if people want it open earlier. And Sunday morning, generally, is a no go period unless we're talking 5-6am EST. SO. Let me know when along those times you can host, if you can, and of course feel free to open up chat when you can along those lines. :D And don't forget the banner! The text box for the banner is posted here- I tried copying it, but it doesn't seem to want to work for me.

Hi guys~ You're all probably sick of me by now, but I just wanted to touch base with you really quick. It was brought to my attention that entries that had previously allowed unscreened anon comments weren't anymore- apparently, LJ saw fit to change that setting with no warning. I've fixed it, but I just wanted to give you guys a heads up that this had happened- especially since I'm not sure WHEN it happened. (It might've been a side effect of the DDoS attacks or something, who knows.)

And by all means, let me know if you have any issues, okay? I promise I'll get to it as soon as I can. ♥
