I'm not talking about him; I'm talking about the people who would use it for something malicious. I searched 'cutenews hacked' and saw one site that had all the content deleted.



I don't care much about Cutenews and VN was lucky not to have gotten worse if the security hole has been there since they stopped updating. It's the people out there who do more than post 'l2security' that bother me.

Honestly, I don't really mind the person who's hacking CuteNews. He's not destroying anything the webmasters created, and thus I wouldn't really call it malicious; he's just taking drastic measures to draw attention to the fact that CuteNews has a critical security vulnerability and it is irresponsible for using that version. If there were a vulnerability in my guestbook or something, I'd be glad if somebody demonstrated it without doing any actual harm. :/



That and I can't stand CuteNews. Not just because it's apparently a piece of crap as software goes, but also because of the very fact so irritatingly many people feel the need to use a third-party script to post news of all things. I mean, sure, news comments are nice, but easily unnecessary enough to make it one of those things you try to code yourself when you're bored sometime.



But eh, that's just me and my I'd-rather-not-have-any-third-party-scripts-on-my-site-unless-absolutely-necessary.

You got any ideas for a website, anyone? I'm open!

I wonder what happened to the host… But just like Silverwing, maybe the site will start updating again!!!

lies, you definitely planned for it to be the dialga festival when you put up the new style :-O

That's a shame. I really liked the site, but stopped visiting when I saw that it hasn't been updated since September.

The Valley of Nightmares got hacked today. The website hasn't been updated in a while, but some BassDrum guy exploited a CuteNews security thing and now the front page only lasts for a while before redirecting to another page.



It makes me sad. The website didn't have content deleted, but it really depresses me that there are people out there that have malicious enough intents to find ways to get into a website and get rid of the owner's hard work for fun. It's a day-downer for me. :/

You go to a page and click something to start the game. You get a 30-minute timer at the top of the page. You must find a hint on a page of the site, which could point you to where the next hint is, and so on; eventually it would lead to winning the game. When your time runs out, you can't see any hints anymore, so you have to start over.



So yeah. Basically clue game, but longer and involving the actual site instead of the clue game's straightforward format (and with more inventively hidden clues, since the pages allow such a range of ways to hide hints or links). Plus that it should, if I manage to do it the way I want it, be more interesting and coherent, at least later on.

What's the new game like? Can you give us a catergory? Play a game of 20 Q?

Can you give us a little hint about the new game, Butterfree?

Yeah, I know. I don't know what else to make it. D: Well, maybe I should make it about that game, once I get it up.

The poll asking whether or not you should take the fan theories down is still there.

For some reason, it wouldn't let me on the guestbook for the past couple of days, instead it would log me off. But now it's back! The new Dialga styles cool, but I'm used to the Articuno style, so I won't switch.

Woah. This style is awesome! It'll be tough to choose between Hellfire… (am I the only one here who uses Hellfire?)



By the way, I finally beat the E4 on Pearl! *dances* And I caught Azlef after hours of throwing Ultra Balls, resetting the game and swearing!



The strangest thing happened to me a couple of days ago. I was playing Temporal Tower, and I only had two Reviver Seeds to aid me against Primal Dialga, so I wanted to get through in one shot. I spawned in a room and got critical hitted by a Lunatone, so I reset the game. When I came back into the Tower, the room, items, and Pokémon were the exact same. Everything was exactly the same as the last time.



It was so weird, but cool. XD

Whoah.



I love this style. There's only one word to describe it: sexy.



(Oh, and I got a shiny Pokémon on the spam verification just now :D)
