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

Well, DX, your request is in the pipeline.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I understand that, and will patiently await further developments.

Your tag here.

RQG:

Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?"
Harmony, 'Disharmony'

It shouldn't have the double quote at the end to be consistent with the formatting style of the other quotes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is there a mod around?

Done and done.

ita, the bot is back. There's more clean up to be done on the user list. This is getting tiresome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can you block its IP address?

(Nah, it's pro'lly not that simple, huh?)

What's happening is someone with an aol address (I think) is trying to register groups of five random letter user names using e-mail addresses of randomletters@buffistas.org. Since the e-mail addresses don't exist, the registration fails when the system tries to send the confirmation message. Also, their script isn't very good, because one of the attempted user names always looks like this:

xhsskxuw@buffistas.orgnContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============0031847247=="nMIME-Version: 1.0nSubject: 2a1cdc5enTo: xhsskxuw@buffistas.orgnbcc: jrubin3546@aol.comnFrom: xhsskxuw@buffistas.orgnnThis is a multi-part message in MIME format.nn--===============0031847247==nContent-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"nMIME-Version: 1.0nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitnnlbzhztn--===============0031847247==--n

The bcc is why I think it's coming from an aol account, but the IP has changed with each batch.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Could the AOL part be spoofed?

Possibly, but given that we only see it by accident, I doubt it. More likely they're just opening new aol accounts.
