The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Fun with Javascript!

Here's a couple of fun things a friend of mine at another board showed me.

Put the following into your web address URL bar and watch the fun:

javascript:x=0;e=document.body;e.style.position="absolute";function rt(){e.style.top=100-(50*Math.cos(x*Math.PI/180))+"px";e.style.left=100+(50*Math.sin(x*Math.PI/180))+"px";x+=5}; setInterval("rt()",50);void(0);

Also try this one:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName(%22img%22); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+%22px%22; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+%22px%22}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0)

Note: Please make sure you have the latest Java updates before putting them in.

Note 2: To fix this, just hit the Back button, and you'll be fine.

You have to make sure the scripts will work properly with browsers.  Neither of them work with Firefox. :p

I beg to differ as I tested them out with Firefox myself and they worked for me. :D

Oh.  I see now.  Sorry.  I was on a very small resolution and didn't copy the whole code. :p Now I'm on my master machine and all works well.  Pretty cool.....but IE wouldn't handle a script like this very well.

I'm not willing to test it myself, but if anything, I bet it would crash! :P:

No.  It just blocks EVERYTHING.  It won't even allow a Javascript popup window.  Just stupid.  ALL other browsers allow it just fine, but IE identifies it as a "security risk". :rolleyes: I can't imagine what it would say to something like this.  You'd probably have to disable all security in order to get it to work.
