Oh, those Russians...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

i've noticed a recent influx of fake registrations on heartland, all using random names and bogus "russian" email addresses

eg:

program20a 69personal@bk.ru
VioletMan alanstorm@bk.ru
AlexCoppas alexcoppa@mail.ru
hadley catkin03@yandex.ru
TinyMiss20 dating-try-it@mail.ru
joiqdpnbc dsf5555@mail.ru
orkfkrqjg er50001@mail.ru
khizlyuklcg er50002@mail.ru

in the last few days there's been at least 25 of them.

i'll be deleting them soon and in the meantime i've decided to ban all *@mail.ru and *@bk.ru addresses.

my sincerest apologies to any genuine russian sisters fans affected by this, but i'm afraid i think its better safe than sorry.

on a slightly related note, wishville seems have been down all evening due to some russian hacker finding an exploit in their bb software (dont panic, its a different system to HL!)

http://forums.thechameleons.com
Board offline 'cos it's been hacked by somr Russian goon.

Shouldn't take long so pop back soon
they seem to have done something thats granted them access to WV's user database - i received a spam email claiming to be from the forum:

I got the email too. The fact it said "we" instead of "I" gave it away. Unless Mik is a royal "we".

What the f**k is it with Russians of late. Had to throw a drunken one out of my studio on Saturday for harrassing my female customers.... that's my job.

Had to clean up a similar mess recently, so my heart goes out.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Cardiff- Leeds are in the playoff finals there Andy.

@Markfiend :notworthy:

Thanks Mate - I did suspect it was something like that - I will be sure to stay AWAY from Cardiff when this event takes place!

Just because I happened to release approximately 2 albums worth of material for free, it does not mean I'm a commie.

Besides, I'm charging for the next one. Purely to recoup materials and keep the other guys happy, but it's capitalist in principle, honest :(

I don't like people. Unless they pay for our music, so the next lot can be released for cheaper.

But hey. We're goths, not people.
