Looks like M-A got hacked...

[MasterOLightning]

Check out Darkthrone and Metallica's discographies. I'm wondering who else got hit.

Well, I supposed hacked may not be the right word, but that's the first time I've seen that kind of spam there.

 

[KevenZ]

it takes only about 5minutes to create a new account and add fakes albums you know, anybody can do it.

 

[Birkenau]

I don't think it was hacked, since anyone is able to add cds.

Cool albums covers though.

 

[skeptik]

On a positive note, M-A seems to be working quite well currently.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I guess that must be the case. I suppose I thought only veterans could add that sort of stuff. I would think such abuse would be more commonplace otherwise.

But yeah, things have been running decently for the last month or so.

 

[skeptik]

Not for me. In fact, earlier today it wasn't working at all.

 

[Slayed Necros]

It's not working right now.

 

[MasterOLightning]

It's working fine for me.

 

[skeptik]

It's being a fucking tit is what it is.

I use metal-archives quite a lot. However, its a shame to see them allow so many immature & childish reviews being posted on that site.

And why is Killswitch Engage on M-A now? I though this site was against having -core bands?

Yeah this seems to be a growing problem, i count over 420 -core bands

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I use the site all the time and it hardly ever works.

^ What he said. However I still find it very useful.

I'm getting sick of these Cannot connect to the database messages that pop up when I try to go there. Always does it when I'm actually trying to look for something. Though it seems to work quite fine whenever I just simply wish to browse through random bands. But I guess I can say it's working a lot better than it used to.

 

[KevenZ]

you cannot connect because there is too much people for the number of server they're using.

 

[DE]

when oh when will they just implement caching

 

[swizzlenuts]

I just checked it out, It looks like they fixed it, but I could have just looked over it.... damn, I wanted to see that.

It must have been a drunkard playing a joke on someone because you have to have alot of addition/reviews/points to be able to add albums, unless you are adding a band.

"It must have been a drunkard playing a joke on someone because you have to have alot of addition/reviews/points to be able to add albums, unless you are adding a band."

you're wrong, you need 0 points to be able to add albums.

KsE should be in metal archives. They were worthy of being called metal at one time.

I reckon it can detect whether you're a casual browser or someone in need of some hard facts - If the latter, connection fails!
