For reasons I don't understand, Google refuses to review the site, or tell me why alt.buffistas.net is compromised and buffistas.org is not, since...exactly the same code. So if there's an issue, it's something I don't understand.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When .org was hacked a little bit back, I was getting that kind of message from Google when I tried to go to the .net site instead.

I get that every time I restart my computer and go to the alt. site for the first time.

So the malware association is still there, and now the DoD webfilter blocks the alt site as a malw site. Can this be corrected somehow?

Not unless someone has an idea other than the instructions Google gives for resolving it, no. I've followed those instructions three times now, and to no effect.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just got an email from a possibly Russian company called Yandex about buffistas.net:
Some of the pages on your website may pose a threat to your visitor's computer security. The number of potentially harmful pages is 0.
So that's....something.

Yeah, Google doesn't have to pay individual attention to us, and so far they're not. I've submitted for review again, and pointed out it's the same site as b.org, so expect to see that IDed as malware in the near future...

Yandex is Russia's Google, more or less.

Since I work at Google these days maybe I can poke someone. Can you give me a link to the form you're filling out?

Okay, WEIRD. You're not one of the three Buffistas I knew worked there. Why do so many of us?
Anyway, this time it took! I have no idea if saying alt.net=b.org made a difference, but now I'm getting this:
Status of the latest badware review for this site: A review for this site has finished. The site was found clean. The badware warnings from web search are being removed. Please note that it can take some time for this change to propagate.

I really don't like how hard Google works to keep me safe--I can't work out if I can get to an images result page (where they show you the image on top of the page?) for a page they deem infected. They print the URL, but there doesn't seem to be an option for "Yeah, I know, I'm gonna bareback it anyway, do what you'd normally do."
