mu.nu - We're sorry we accidentally destroyed your panties.

I've got blasted with gibberish spam all weekend long. At first I was just deleting them and closing comments on posts that got hit (The pattern was three comments per post before moving on) because it's too much trouble to take down all their IP addresses on my laptop.
Well, this morning, I'm back in possession of a mouse and here's a list of IPs that left comment spam last night: 89.33.115.72201.245.173.147
85.180.66.28
70.173.43.159

222.151.211.93
62.231.243.136 Update: Not that it seems to make a difference, but here's the list of IPs from the spam I got last night: 216.23.249.18

Looks like someone F-ed up Blacklist again. Comment error message comes up as follows:

I'm having problems with spam on brain.mu.nu again. Also, it seems as if my pings/trackbacks aren't working. I can't figure out how to update MovableType, and I really liked the level of control I was able to get with Word Press (during my prodigal travels). If it's okay, I'd like to install WordPress to the brain.mu.nu website.
If it's not okay, do you have any hints about making MovableType better? How do I update to the Minx/MT system?
I guess I also need to get my password to the control panel to do either of these things. Could someone re-send it to me?

People, People.... I was just de-spamming and one of Rhymes with Right's comments came up because one of our number (*cough*-Mark!-*cough*) blacklisted "gmail.com." And no pointing and laughing, Planet Stories, because you blacklisted "google.com." (Ok, I'll admit it, I once accidentally blacklisted the word "teen" but it was an accident and I have had sleepless nights over it ever since then...)
Plus, just as a hint, if you are getting spammed from "aaa.xxxporn.com", and "bbb.xxxporn.com" and "fff.xxxporn.com" and "xyz.xxxporn.com," doesn't it just make more sense to ban "xxxporn.com" and smack 'em down before they work through the rest of the alphabet and every innocent word ever invented (which really clutters up the blacklist)? That's my opinion anyway (as someone whose browser crashes before it can list 20 thousand variations of one spammer's website). Of couse, use some judgment--don't ban all of bogsplot1 because of a few maggots... End of kvetching.... 1 Yes, I know--I call it that because I had a blog there back in prehistoric times, before the Golden Age of Munuvia (Thor bless Pixy Misa and all his issue)... UPDATE: Well, now Eric went and blacklisted google.com, and Physics Geek blacklisted one of his own archive pages..... I took them both off, but if you folks keep adding junk to the blacklist at the rate you're going, I won't be able to load the page again before long... UPDATE 2: Today, stotch blacklisted google.com! I may have to start sending you to bed without supper.... UPDATE 3 Eric! Google is your friend! Auuurgghh~! Update again Billy Budd blacklisted google.com today. Maybe we should have a contest, and give the prize to the Munuvian who successfully avoids blacklisting google for 30 days.... Running Tally... Prochein Amy is now out of the running for the prize, so let's recap: Planet Stories, Eric (twice!), stotch, Billy Budd and Prochein Amy have all blacklisted google.com in the last three days (we won't count triticale, 'cause he was saved by somebody else doing it for him). Plus, there was one mystery blacklister that someone else caught. Anyone have any suggestions for the prize?Posted by: Susie at 01:18 AM | Comments (445) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

When I go to publish a new post, very often it takes a very long time to rebuild, and then the screen goes white rather than indicating it is sending out pings. Why is this, and can it be fixed?

My cPanel login doesn't seem to work (haven't used it in a few years, that might be why!)
Can one of our nice admins help? Is it still at: http://helen.mu.nu:2082/frontend/x/index.html? And what do I do if I can't remember my username and password? Thanks!Posted by: Everydaystranger at 07:45 AM | Comments (54) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Is it necessary for me to maintain DNS management with my registrar, pointing to mu.nu's name servers, or is that somewhat superfluous? For my new site on mee.nu do I need to purchase DNS management, and if so what name servers do I use? Prolly NS.MEE.NU and NS2.MEE.NU right?

Hi everyone.
I've stripped all the cruft from the blacklist, reducing it from around 31,000 entries to about 7500. In doing so, I collapsed multiple spammer domains down to their parent domains, and might inadvertently have blocked someone like, oh, TypePad. (Oops.) If you bump into anything like that, feel free to comment/post here, contact me by email, or just delete the offending entry.Posted by: Pixy Misa at 05:45 PM | Comments (521) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

I found another one to be removed from Blacklist-can you remove "us.com" from the banned list? I have some legitimate users who have gotten the ugly on that one.

A commenter - a legitimate one - was unable to leave the word "fucker" in my comments as someone in mu.nu has added it to Blacklist.
Can it be removed from Blacklist, please? I'm a fan of the swearing and so is my blog.Posted by: Everydaystranger at 12:26 PM | Comments (86) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Someone has apparently added "com" to the blacklist, preventing people from commenting because their email addresses are invalid. I can't fix it, because I ADMIT THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!!!
There. Is that so hard?Posted by: Ted at 12:33 PM | Comments (183) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

My archives list is getting rather long, so I was wondering if I could condense all those months into a drop-down menu. What code should I use and where do I stick it? (lol)
The article here: http://www.learningmovabletype.com/a/000862pull_down_menus/ does not say where to insert the code. Call me crazy, but I would think the location of the code would be important.Posted by: Mark N at 07:14 PM | Comments (59) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

OK, I've been absent for quite a while. But when did NZ Bear have a farewell party? His domain seems to be dead, and there are no forwarding links. Is this some dirty trick by the Kos Kidz, or has he really gone? What happened? Somewhat mystified...

Sorry about the latest server wobbles. Someone decided to grace Sarah of Trying to Grok with tens of thousands of pieces of email spam. I've deleted the garbage and blackholed the incoming spam, so we should be okay until the next wave of crap that comes our way.

So whenever someone wants to comment they get this error:
"Quantifier follows nothing in regex;" followed by a long damn string of what appear to be blacklisted websites.

Hi everyone! mee.nu, the commercial sister site to mu.nu, has gone live. That means that anyone can sign up and set up a blog right away. If you have readers looking for something better than Blogspot (or who want to set up their first blog), point them that way.
If you want to post a little announcement on your own blogs, that would be very welcome.
I'm testing the MT to Minx migration right now. This will be an export/import; currently it doesn't keep your templates or maintain permalinks, so if you're worried about that you might want to wait a bit. If that's not critical to you, though, we should be ready for you to move in by the end of the week.
This week I'm working on the forum module; you'll be able to run forums that are fully integrated with your blog. Next week I'll be uploading the new theme builder, which lets you quickly build a custom blog design. Following that are polls and quizzes, photo albums, podcasts, and chat. And a special surprise. 
The next few months should be lots of fun for mu.nu and mee.nu!
P.S. You don't need to move to mee.nu. You can move to the new software and keep your mu.nu address.

Is there anyone out there in Munu land who would care to take a look at my old bit of fluff on the net and see what I have done to screw it up? I have "redesigned" the blog (changed the Index and stylesheet) and now am no longer able to post on the new version. The html seems to validate correctly and there are only some minor flaws in the css. The site meter is probably going to go so that code splotch on the bottom will be gone as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

New posts won't save and I can't rebuild. I get an error message each time.
