Re: No Children - misogynistic? - 11 months ago
Update! I posted on Tumblr about this and the two editors have responded. It's not how it sounded in the original Kickstarter description, and they'd edited it accordingly. See here:by Alpha - Mountain Goats

Yep, this hit a lot of people. If you run php-based stuff on a shared hosting server, check out your .php files ASAP.by Alpha - Mountain Goats
Re: Please read: Redirections - 1 year ago
From what I'm seeing around the internet, this is possibly a WordPress exploit, and it's hitting a LOT of people. So, be on guard, and check your servers (especially your .php files)!by Alpha - Mountain Goats

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean. On which page(s)?by Alpha - Mountain Goats

Hi folks -- Just want to let you know that we're aware of the issue that people are getting redirected to suspicious sites when visiting here. I've discovered the malicious code and am working with our web host on removing it ASAP. Update: We should be clean. Let me know (post here I guess) if it happens again, and on which pages. Thanks!by Alpha - Mountain Goats
Re: 4AD microsites offline - 1 year ago
Huh, that's a shame. I should have local copies of these sites on my computer. I'll have to check. It's possible we could host them here, though that would take me 'getting around to it' someday.by Alpha - Mountain Goats

Re: Pitchfork Review: Wurster, "Stops Readings Mountain Goats board" - 2 years ago
I think it's helpful to remember that for some people, it just takes reading one or two people saying things like 'it was better without this person' (I don't know what actually was said) to make quite an indelible mark on someone. I can't and don't speak for JW, but sometimes one or two negative opinions can stick out way too much, even in a sea of positive ones. And when that happens, the bestby Alpha - Mountain Goats

You'd think Comic Sans was mandatory or something for all regional email newsletters. Yes, limericks do sound lame, cheesy, hokey ... and that's part of what makes them fun.by Alpha - Whole Wide World

Re: Actual Question for the Mods - 2 years ago
I don't know, must have been woejilli who deleted them. I haven't talked to him, but if I had to guess, I'd say that because of the uptick in the trolling/baiting/etc., he was trying to cool things down a bit. It seems like a place like this shouldn't need 'rules' -- just don't post things specifically meant to provoke or offend. .by Alpha - Whole Wide World
Re: Bad Translator Game - 2 years ago
It is really fun, in fact someone already posted it here. PS - I can tell that your email address is from the same domain as linked on the site, so you should be honest and not say things like 'I just came across this'. It's cool to link stuff of yours if you really think people will enjoy it, just be up-front about it.by Alpha - Whole Wide World

Would be happy to, but this forum software doesn't have name-change features, and I don't really want to go hacking around in the database.by Alpha - Whole Wide World
Re: Durham, NC- July 31st - 2 years ago
Just want to echo some of chessire's comments there. Pinhook is very small, it's a bar with a nice stage in a SMALL room. They are selling a LOT of tickets. If you don't like really overcrowded spaces, you might want to wait for the next show -- there will be some more in the area soon. Also, this is a solo show -- not sure if that has been mentioned. Though, the implication that it's not a saby Alpha - On The Road
Re: Fucked - 2 years ago
Quotefever Why the hell can't I feed the trolls? It amuses me. I thought these were OUR forums? I really don't like being censored but go ahead and lock this one, too. Because, while the forums exist for you guys, they're also something that we put time and money into supporting. And we don't like well-fed trolls making it inhospitable for all but a few people.
