I just tried going there, and it displayed a server login popup and started playing an audio message (sounded like a text to speech program) saying that my computer was transmitting my Facebook login and bank details or some shit. I had to close Firefox via the task manager. The audio message was probably bullshit (I hope), but I'm running a full scan on Defender anyway.
-
It'd be great if it imploded
-
It's not the first time I've seen something like that there, but it's the first time I've heard it play audio. I had NoScript on my old computer, though. I wonder if it's a frequent occurrence. I don't go to WP very often.

... all that ugly green, blue, and yellow, collapsing into the black hole of the site! :rofl:
-
That sounds like the typical spyware/adware that WP has always been infected with.
With 2x4 basically gone from the site, I imagine the site needs some major league cleaning up.
-
How... sad.

The last few times trying to read there, anti-virus blocked attacks. It's been avoided for a while.
-
The only thing that came up in the Defender scan was a file in Firefox's temp folder that it couldn't identify and wanted to send to MS for analysis. Malwarebytes found nothing. I've cleared all cookies and temp files in Firefox and reset all my passwords, and my Facebook and Bank account show no sign of any untoward activity other than my own.

Just tried going there on my Kindle. All I got was a blank page. Definitely something going wrong there.
Yesterday I was getting pop-ups saying "Rats! Web GL just hit a snag. Learn more."
"Reload" "Ignore"
It was a very annoying pop-up.
-
Is this the end of WP?
-
It's the end of me ever going there again.
-
I do not know how to respond to that.
It has been many, MANY years since I was there.
-
Can't say I feel a need to visit the place.
-
Well one of my interests is autism. And there's plenty there on the subject.
-
That's up to you, of course. If it's useful, then good.
-

Yep. Impossible to get to know people there, there's too many coming in and leaving for whatever reason.
-
Who's in charge there these days? Does Alex ever post?
-
I have seen...2 of his posts I think? There are moderators but not many.
The site is absolutely terrible to view on a Kindle, there is so much that just doesn't work and profiles on post pages look mashed together, e.g., mine says Veteran twice.
One of the reasons I went back was to view my old PMs between GA and I. My memory is not clear of that time so I wanted to see what we wrote. Alas, nothing there. :(
-
Heh, ren. Being a spazz ain't just the best way, its the ONLY way :D
And WP looks terrible on a kindle? I don't own one, but WP looks like shit no matter what you do with it.
Does it still have that fucking hideous colorscheme? Actually I find 'WP' quite the appropriate abbreviation for the place. Chemists use the same shorthand to mean 'white phosphorus', and the colorscheme of WP (the webs(h)ite that is) isn't all that different to the lurid glow that one can see if for example, one takes a little white phosphorus on the end of a spatula or a stick, and uses it to write on a piece of paper, in a dark place, you get a very similar lurid yellow-whitish 'radioactive' shade of green, akin to radium paint or closer, the shade of a tritium gun-sight or watch dial, before the willy pete then ignites spontaneously and burns whatever was written permanently through the paper.
Got a few other things in common too. WP is poisonous, leaves a bad smell and a corrosive environment behind wherever it goes, glows a lurid uranium glass shade of green and its prone to bursting into flames and leaving a horrible burning cloud of noxious fumes behind. Not particularly stable either, unless handled with kid-gloves (although unfortunately that means the area quickly gets depopulated of kids, you don't get many pairs of gloves per one you skin, tan and sew into a pair of gloves:autism:)
Which WP do I mean? just take a coin, flip it, and take your pick as to which one I meant. Although at least one of the two is useful....and the useful kind is the only kind currently sitting in a measuring cylinder full of water upstairs
And whilst there might be far more than the fair share of toxic and incendiary materials present in this home than there are in most, I sure as shit draw the line at the poisonous incendiary thing that goes by the name of alex plank.
Unfortunately, it seems that planks constant :heisenberg:
-
Can't say as I am surprised at there being problems at WP. It's been around a long time, even with all the drama. A lot of forums have come and gone over the years, maybe it's WP's time. It will be interesting how this develops and I feel sorry for those who love the site and enjoy going there.
-
That hideous white phosphorus in a dark room color scheme needs to go though no matter what happens, its fucking awful. I don't mind the way white P glows, but as a colorscheme on a forum? its as lurid as the inside of Planck's head.
-
Agreed, the color scheme or set up there hurts my eyes and it never improved. Amber gave up on it and a close friend did the same, I had a brief second life there and it was not good. Dunc did go back for a brief time and even he left for reasons I can only guess at.
-
Yeah, its like staring into a really bright fluoro light, or one of those really powerful LED torches. With a big steaming spadefull of fermented ugly scattered liberally over the top.
-
It always hurt my eyes. Though, my major thought was that I was too old to be bothering with this place. Sort of what Dunc felt with some of the posts he saw and restrained himself from flaming at.
-
Only visited it once when AFF imploded as a "backup" took one look, hated it and didn't join.
The colour scheme was part of that, obviously but the other factor was that it looked like the same shit as AFF. :dunno:

I only joined Wrongplanet after the Tamgate incident, and somehow whenever I tried posting on there it still isn't as familiar as, AFN, and I^2 turned out to be.
-
Same, more or less. Went on there briefly after amy shit over our collective front doorstep and took to rolling about in her own faeces and ranting about the spider people under the floorboards (taking a day off from inhabiting the inside of her skull, I presume).
Lasted for an introduction post and IIRC a single post participating in a thread before being banned without any explanation. I figured fuck it, the place is run by a gigantic perineum (I.e surrounded by bollocks and with a dick and an arsehole to stuff it up either side) with delusions of personhood and a monstrous narcissistic complex, and general complete oxygen-embezzling waste space wherever he stands that hobos could need to piss on) and it looks like somebody hit the place with a veritable army's worth of willy pete munitions. Ugly and I didn't see any point in trying to get myself unbanned, not that I did anything, since I'd just found the place I called a home from home, so to speak, pulled down on top of itself by the Queen Bitch, what would be the point in running from a smoking heap of ruins inhabited only by the ghost of one mental case narcissistic, histrionic little cow, into the arms of an odious narcissist tosspot who can't get his pencil dick up unless some little pet troop of brown-nosers have given his chocolate starfish a licking first?
I'll pass.
Wish my stalker/ex gf's forum had managed to take off though. She's a no-nonsense kinda lady, and I REALLY can't see her being one for butt-sniffing. Anyone that tried it would almost certainly have gotten one of her cute little feet in the nose for their trouble long before any such nose came any closer than kicking distance from her (even cuter) arse. She'd have done a great job IMO, down to earth, not a histrionic little bitch or anything of that sort, generally all the best things that can go into an autie woman went into her. Including quite a lot of other people's share of the best bits too:)

I stuck around on AFF due to the RPs and a few kinder folks who tried to support a troubled kid like me. Looking back, it's explosion or some kind of decline was inevitable. Amy Nelson's return (as well as Admin status) only drastically sped up the process.
AFN was nice at first but it went to shit. If it's improved since I left, I'll never know but I seriously doubt it. :dunno:
ASD community was nice while it lasted but it just declined overtime. Got a lot of good laughs and some support out of it and I remember it's brief time rather fondly.
I^2 is upfront about what it is. It may be a shitshow, but it's an enjoyable shitshow. :thumbup:
-
The colour scheme for posts on WP isn't blue and green any more, it's grey and white. I don't know what's worse. It's nice to come here and view everything on black pages.

AFN has the highest mod to regular user ratio I've ever seen on a forum.

How many people even post there anymore??
-
About ten regulars in a busy week, and it hasn't been busy for a while. At least three have mod powers.

I am one of those three.

You may be on to something there, Jack.
There's a film tech board I used to participate in. Those discussions have all slowly moved over to FB.
-
I’ve heard the same about social media. The message board is certainly dying. I think Reddit would do a better if the users had avatars. It would make me more comfortable. I can’t stand everybody being on Facebook, it makes no sense to me because it’s so privacy invasive, I can’t stand FB itself. Nobody seems to care that it means they keep your photos forever and use face recognition software, and insist you prove your identity. It’s fucked up and warped IMO, and like Big Brother.
-
I spend most of my internet time on FB or reading MSN and looking for books to buy. Or a DVD from my youth. The vast majority of my interests are available there, Volcanoes, Geology, Rocks and Minerals, Dr. Who, Robert E. Howard and other literature that I love, etc. Humor shared, the people I consider friends here are there on FB. At least most of them. So forums have lost some of their appeal to me. In fact I sometimes feel very little in common with most other forum folk. Nothing personal, it's just me. I've had good times in the past and those memories are treasured. My daughter, Amber, spends most of her internet time on gaming forums, she lost all interest in AS forums. Change is the only constant.

Someone else said it some time ago, and at the time disagreed. Though facebook was more new then and forums were still active, even though not as active. Would definitely agree with them now.

I think one reason is that people go there anyway, so why not focus the discussions to one place?

That probably makes sense to most other people. Just can't relate to how people can do that, having loved ones, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, and complete strangers, daily life, work life, hobbies and interests, all in one box like that. Prefer my life organized into tidy boxes, and that includes people. There's no real room for overlapping those boundaries, so people and things just have to stay in their box or things get really messy.
-
True. Have shared stuff here that I wouldn't want family to know.
-
I can't stand Facebook for all sorts of reasons. I only use it to respond to other people who are insisting on communicating there. There's no way I would attempt to have any semblance of private life or meaningful discussion there.
-
Facebook is a means of keeping connected with friends, family, acquaintances, and community.
Everything else is just posting my views without sounding like a pompous ass hooked on religious convictions....
-
Facebook sucked from the beginning. Liked myspace a lot more. Then, it learned to suck too.
FB just keeps getting worse and worse. Like everything.
-
I think I'm allergic to social media, facebook in particular.
-

Yep. I wouldn't know if everything is ok with my family if it weren't for Facebook. Plus I've joined an autism group who has meetings once a month in the city that I go to. I enjoy them a lot better than the structured meetings I used to go to.

FB, farce book, fuck book or whatever, is what it is! I recently reconnected with a very dear friend from nursing school, she and I had both been thru "mill" and we formed a deep friendship at school. I have a few friends who hate and left FB for their own reasons. Fortunately, I have other ways to stay in touch with them. As long as I find what I want there, it's all good...for me. 8)
I'm just surprised that nothing has shown up to compete and replace it. LinkdN is a joke! And walmart is trying to make it's own "social network" among it's employees. Talk about a joke! Considering the number of people they have fired since I started, I can't be arsed! :LOL:

Because of the real name policy, I've found facebook very good for getting back in contact with people like this.
Its ubiquity also makes it a platform for distributing content to large audiences. I'd much prefer something (like the old myspace) where
users control their content presentation better - not just a stream of garbage from everyone but a real hompage as the focus - but sites
which have done that just don't have the same reach.
-
My garbage, my choice! :laugh: And since we have a mutual friend, I've seen yours...and your welcome to it! If you want to judge me.......keep it to yourself! Or block me....E!

Maybe, I just made that name up, or so I thought. Now that you brought it up, I may have seen it before somewhere in my spam box in gmail!

Oho. Someone (a) thinks I'm judging them, and (b) would like to be able to reshape this site so that others don't comment.
Yeah, you really belong here. :zoinks:
Go curl up under a blanket and hide from opinions.

Message boards are less likely to sell your personal information to the highest bidder.
