Felt I should update this because it's been a while. Sorry I don't have handicapped cat pics or daily neopet updates, but we can't all be brilliant content-producers now can we?

I'm currently working on a new greasemonkey script that adds some functionality to qreply. Knowing me though, it will be another year before I release it.

Since my last post, there was a major database hack that resulted in the stolen passwords of tens of thousands of members. Luckily for Justin, it was mostly a non-story so no big deal (except for, you know, all those people who got their login information stolen...)

Justin made it so hotlinking is no longer allowed. If you hotlink, it will auto-attach on dslr.

Also, I'm updating my greasemonkey script that brings back orangeface to be cooler, so I need to use this space to upload a few things. Please disregard!

It appears the "what are you doing" twitter clone feature has been removed.

Reference:
»What were you doing..

RIP, useless feature. Image posted for posterity.

Oh, and embedding for any sort of flash movie is now allowed. Justin succumbed to the pressure to allow embed code, so we can have all these wonderful flash videos taking up CPU resources and slowing down my browsing.

It can easily be abused by embedding any flash that isn't from a video site:
»aurange faceeeee
This leads to annoying auto-play videos and crap like that.

The worst part? I predicted this exact thing would happen a year ago.

Old news, but I forgot to post about it.

Alexsocqueer2 came back as "Sir Bentley", and made it way too obvious that it was the same person. Jake25 tried to cover up for him. It took a couple weeks but that account was banned also.

We can expect to see Alex back within two weeks, I suspect.

Good news, Justin fixed the journals to allow old ones to be replied to.

So just pretend these four posts were posted in this topic:

You know, The Hot Deals forum is pretty much useless now.

It used to be a place where people could post a good deal and give their opinion on the product, and usually a few other people would respond with their own experiences. A great deal would stay on the main page for a while and garner a lot of discussion.

Lately though, one user has overrun the entire forum by reposting every single "deal" he sees on slickdeals or fatwallet.

He gives no personal opinion in any topics, he just copies and pastes the product description and includes a picture. 33 of the last 50 (82%) topics were made by him, nearly 10-15 a day.

The obvious solution is to add him to my ignore list, but that won't work. Because he copies and pastes these deals early in the morning (6 AM-8AM the last couple days), people will rarely beat him to posting the deals that are actually worth attention. However, I can't tell which deals are good because all of his dozens of mediocre deal topics swamp the forum and buries his good ones 50 topics deep in 2 days.

Even if I did ignore him, few other people will. The topics that would appear second or third in the forum to me would already be 30 topics deep to other people, and they won't see them. If they don't see them they won't post, and the whole forum dies. Even if someone did post to revive a good deal that was posted, it doesn't matter because that forum sorts topics by creation date, not last post. Less than half of the first 50 topics in there have any replies at all. There is no reason to read that forum any more when I can go to slickdeals to view an almost identical list of deals.

Let's hope he gets bored of this after a while because the forum is in a deadlock right now.

Heh, nullzilla/photog got banned again a couple days ago. This is the second time. It doesn't seem that the mods care if he creates another account, so I'm sure we'll see him again.

Recently, the graffitti wall (aka dustyn's wall) was deleted.

Let us never forget one of the best forums dslr ever had:

I forgot to mention that I put my dslr tools page back online. It had been offline for a few months because I had some hosting problems.

I tested all of them and the only one that doesn't work is the spell checker. Also, the greasemonkey extensions look to be obsolete now.

Some day I might get around to making some more utilities. I was working on one greasemonkey script to add custom emoticons to the default list, but It's tough when you're trying to learn javascript at the same time. Really, I had it practically completed but ran into a problem I couldn't solve right at the end. When I get the time and ambition again, I'll probably find someone here who knows javascript and see if they can help me out.
