Hi folks,
After 2007 election, Bloggy Boyz went offline.. so did Controversy TV...

But just a few weeks ago Bloggy Boyz made its highly anticipated debut for 2008!! New cartoons, entertaining graphics, and a rainbow of adjectives to mix with the colorful commentary....

But recently the site seems to have problems staying active....

Could it be due to massive traffic levels, funding problem, or the launch of a anti-media propaganda campaign by those in position to shut the site down??

Our blog host isn't that hot. As with any blog host, they were taken over largely by spam bots. only two percent of the total posts were real -- the rest were automated by spam robots, putting up thousands of links to viagra, porn in an attempt to fool google to drive traffic to their sites. These are known as splogs:

A splog (spam blog) is a fake blog created solely to promote affiliated Web sites, with the intent of skewing search results and artificially boosting traffic. Some splogs are written like long-winded ads for the Web sites they promote; others have no original content, featuring either nonsense or content stolen from authentic Web sites. Splogs include huge numbers of links to the Web sites in question to fool Web crawler s (programs that search the Web for sites to index). The sploggers associate popular search keywords with their pages so that the splog links turn up in blog search results and are sent out as search subscription notifications through e-mail and RSS feed s.

Splogs have existed almost as long as blogs have, as enterprising spammers quickly realized the new medium's potential for exploitation. However, the attacks have become more common as attackers' methods have become more sophisticated. Automated attacks have caused what many in the industry referred to as a "turning point" for splog. In late October of 2005, a splogger used Google's blog-creation tool, Blogger, in conjunction with the BlogSpot hosting service to create what Tim Bray, of Sun Microsystems, called a "splogsplosion": hundreds, or even thousands of splogs turning up in search results and clogging RSS reader s and e-mail inboxes.

Here's how this attack was conducted: The splogger ran a search on blog search engines for popular keywords. Among those selected were the names of two prominent bloggers, Chris Pirillo and Dave Winer. Next, using a bot to automate the process, the splogger created tens of thousands of splogs, listing the selected keywords and publishing text taken directly from Pirillo's and Winer's own sites, along with the commercial links. People searching for the legitimate bloggers' sites and people with search subscriptions for RSS feeds found their results filled with splog links.

In response to the attack and the media outcry in its wake, Google published a list of some 13,000 splog sub-domains. The company also implemented a type of Turing test known as a CAPTCHA , forcing any entity creating a blog to prove satisfactorily that it is, in fact, a human and not a computer program.

Doing the Bloggy Boyz is a lot of work, and what we publish needs a certain degree of anonymity, especially to the crew feed me, the editor what I need, so I think that with Ebloggy being down, I think that this is the final farewell.

So what to do is ask Delroy if you could have a bloggy boyz section right here on BI and just post what you would have post on the blog.

Delroy is respectable. We are not. We say some nasty things. People try to sue us if they knew how to find us. The PLP tried valiantly to unmask us or to stop us, because we were lifting their skirts.

Nope, we don't want to get Delroy into trouble. I am sure that he would suffer slings and arrows if we revealed the name of Perry Christie's 10 year old love child, or the fact that Fred Mitchell did all of the legal work for her maintainance, and that's why he has a hold over Crisco Butt. Nope, we can't reveal that sort of stuff blithely here on BI. :angel:

:bouncy:You are a valuable part of what makes the world a better place. Please reconsider.....or at least don't stop in your quest for the real story. You have always been head and shoulders above any media outlet......:realmad:

And the prophecy has come true. BOL hard hard!

huh? ( about the prophecy)
