That worked!
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Um, so if I use a quickedit for italics ! followed by a !, that happens.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure what you're saying. I mean, I know it does that. Does it bother you that it does? It was part of the testing for the problems people were having getting the last change to take.

I don't recall it doing that before. Why would it do that? Does it do that for all punctuation marks ?
I guess it just hates exclamation points.

How can I find out if buffistas.org is also infected? Where do you get this information?

Okay, I went to Google's webmaster tools (good god, they get into fucking everything--it's exhausting), and they think alt.buffistas.net is infected and buffistas.org isn't which would be a cute achievement, since they are exactly the same unless someone's hijacked the DNS.
Which I'm assuming Suela would notice if we'd all been replaced by Russian mobster AIs.
So I've submitted that URL for a review. We'll see what happens.

If it's the same problem I had with my iStrata hosted server it's based on a Plesk exploit. The attacker users Plesk to insert some evil JavaScript into index.html files. It could be that the more complex setup of b.org defeats the script.
I ended up changing all the control panel account passwords and applying two patches and I think that's taken care of it. I didn't see any new accounts or cron jobs and the security scan came up clean.
I think [link] pretty much covers what you'd need to do.

Russian mobster AIs would not, I think, be capable of earworming Dana with five musicals simultaneously.
