this was taken from http://www.xanga.com/john in regards to the recent xanga virus and things to come.

"I'm sorry about this... we've been steadily increasing the security on Xanga over the past year. We just disabled META tags last week because some users were using them to redirect users to spam/porn sites... and now we're going to have to start disabling more JavaScript, so that this can't happen again. We're migrating towards a JavaScript free system, as we add native support for a lot of the things that people are now kludging with JavaScript. In the meantime, we are moving forward on a developing investigation to bring this attacker to justice."

I read this before.. if they disabled javascript completely, it would be very idiotic. being as client side, i don't see that much it can do after you disable certain things...

yes when i try to tell you guys, it is called spam, but other people may spam by posting it again and again

and only say that once you have your facts STRAIGHT

anyway, im guessing a javascript free enviorment will be hard to manage

have you seen the coding for the ad?

an html banner would be too easy to remove, i think it'll be a long while before they disable javascript

Hm that sucks, but hopefully now people will try to realize that xanga actually sucks. Yes, that's my opinion. It's so restricting... And now they're putting on even more restrictions.

Let's just stick to regular websites, eh?

I've always thought that xanga was too... weird or bad or something but this is like a final straw to me. I think I'm going to quit xanga now -_____-
