An automated DMCA bot sent a takedown notice based on somebody's Kathy Ireland avatar. Brian missed the message from his host, so the whole site got taken down.

She should be happy that anyone is looking at her at all today.

It sounds like there was a DMCA bot trolling the site for copywrite violations, and found somebody's avatar which was presumably a tiny version of a copywrite protected picture. Since those bots operate with a "shoot first, find out if you had a legal leg to shoot from later" policy, it sent up the alarm. I'm not clear on what happened next, but it was bad enough to take the site down until Brian woke up and sorted shit out.

but this sounds like the dumbest #$&ing thing I ever heard. Youtube is supposedly free of copyrighted content, but I can find just about every famous movie scene you can name in 30 seconds. I get ownership of content, but this is beyond silly.

about MGoBlog being down when MGoBlog is down?
Hmmmn....Deep Thoughts

We need a "safe-zone" meet up site for all of us to go to when that happens, like when they tell you to go to XYZ place during a fire so that they know that everyone is OK.
Where should it be?

Seriously, life was on hold while waiting for the site to come back up.

I love Mgoblog, but you have to know it's limitations. I never ever go into gameday threads, rarely into snowflake threads. Big news days can cause meltdowns in the server and the traffic. I'm hoping this things eventually are fixed. But until that time, I will live with the blog as it is, and not expect too much from it.

Well, there will never be a DMCA violation from my avatar.

I actually went to beveled last week. The truth is, I've gotten more than my money's worth out of the site. Problem is, nothing changes. Shoot, they don't even make promises anymore. Frankly, with the season going so well, I don't care. But I do hope that after the season, there are answers, and there are promises, and there are fixes.

Sacrilege, SRK!
We expect nothing less than blogdom enthusiasm unknown to mankind from MGoBlog.

I felt helpless this morning. Is there a podcast coming up? LET'S TALK MICHIGAN FOOTBALL. I LIKE MICHIGAN FOOTBALL.

My morning was extremely empty without The Blog. Guess you really don't know what you've got until it's gone...

LOL, I actually got some work done this morning that I was expecting to have to do late tonight.

Ahhh, it's back!

I just hate seeing Kathy Ireland besmirched like this. Some of those SI bikini shots helped get me thru puberty.
/this was in the day of 56k modems where you had to wait 3 minutes for a photo to show up. And it could be a terrible picture but you had to wait to find out...slowly.
/adolescent boys these days have no idea how good they have it.

I will say that the rash of disruptions lately has put me in a position where I am attentive in all these meetings and trainings and I am not sure that this is how it is supposed to work. MGoBlog is supposed to be the salvation in those situations and there have been times - including this morning - where I have participated in work-related activities and been productive. It puts me in a weird place.

How can you actually be a Mod and have a real job . . . and not be fired from both?
