Okay, for some reason http://kitschcore.com is appealing to spammers and hackers as a target.
So I’ve removed SMF Forum completely. I’m sticking with Wordpress ’cause it lets me handle Spam, and y’all can still interact with me.
The hacker(s) had corrupted this blog, my forum, and bad enough I’m forced to scrap all that came before and start from scratch.
I don’t know why I’m the target of such attention, as the page rank for this site is piss poor for how long it’s been around. I’m not a Network engineer or security guy – so there’s zero prestige in the hacking community targeting me. No one that dislikes me enough to attempt something like this would have the skill set to be a script kiddie even.
So, um – maybe some random anti-gay hacker? Why not hack this site with something anti-gay instead of having my blog load a site Firefox, and hopefully other browsers, already blocks as a known scam or virus site?
Other than the index page there seems to be no damage to the html (and I’ve the html and flash backed up).
I have been neglecting this site, but I am working on a new comic, Horace and the Holy Ghost – and will present it here. I’ll also rework this entire site. There’s too much on the index page, the javascript rollover navigation is whack, there should be more pages, I have more portfolio now – and I know more CSS anyway. This site is largely portfolio, so I need to present it well with 21st century web technology.
I’ll look into losing the flash for portfolios. Yeah, you can’t right click and download the art. Worse, you can right click and print to pdf. Yeah, most people too dumb to figure that out – but my readers aren’t so stupid. Bottom line tho – the comic pages look better as image files not embedded in flash.
Pretty cool post. I just stumbled upon your site and wanted to say
that I’ve really liked browsing your blog posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you post again soon!

Hey, thanks. But I'm – eh – confused as there's just the one post here so far. If you like to read, try hhttp:kitschchaos.com for the blog there, it's thick with content.

Having you site is truly annoying, it happens to all of us.
I had my site hacked by someone from Romania I can't even guess why. caused me a great lot of trouble.
I had to get someone smarter than me to clen it ll up.
Reading thro your stuff, seems you know what a web site is jav script and so on, look forward to the time I can be as smart as that.
Good fortune
