Never Delete Your Blog

AllahPundit did, and now someone took over his address and turned it into a porn/mail-order bride site.

Boston Irish did too, and they did the same. An porn link is stuck inside an old story about Christopher Hitchens, without warning that it's porn (except if you know that "Rita Faltoyano" is a porn actress), and the links in the sidebar just lead to porn, too.

Hey, if you've built up some amount of web-presence, there's no real reason to delete your blog or give up your address. If there's stuff on your blog you've decided you no longer want public, just go through the thing and put all those posts into draft so they're not part of the blog anymore. (They'll still be somewhere out there in cached form, of course, but deleting your blog won't get rid of cached pages, either).

Even if you've decided your blog might hurt you professionally or personally... well, your old blog now being a mail-order bride site isn't going to help you at your Judiciary Committee hearings, either. Sure, Ted Kennedy will vote for you, but others might not be so understanding.

Just saying. Who knows, in two years you might want to start blogging again. Or maybe you could just actually sell your domain to a porn site-- maybe that's the only real way to get crazy blog-money.

Boston Irish is now at finally posting at a "Like a viking" address, by the way. And he's still not a fan of John Kerry's.

PS, don't click on any of the links on the porn version of Boston Irish, unless you want your computer hijacked for twenty minutes by never ending porn pop-ups that are somehow invulnerable to pop-up blockers. They just seem to take over open windows on your computer.

*cough* bold tags *cough*

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on December 11, 2005 02:45 AM

I don't see any bold tags at all here, open or not.

Posted by: ace on December 11, 2005 02:48 AM

You talk about porn and mail-order brides like they're bad things.

Posted by: The Unabrewer on December 11, 2005 03:18 AM

Must be the porn that hijacked the close-bold tags.

Posted by: someone on December 11, 2005 03:54 AM

There's something not entirely unfunny about having Allah point to porn, but...point taken. I'm carrying several domains I don't really use any more, but they're fairly catch and cheap to renew, so I can't seem to let them go.

Posted by: S. Weasel on December 11, 2005 02:17 PM

Ok, this is just criminal: discussing porn sites without providing links.

Unless it's the bad kind of porn (ie vagina-free porn) in which case Ace can leave them in his favorites list.

To escape from a forest of popup windows, use the task manager to kill off the IE task.

Posted by: Steven Den Beste on December 11, 2005 04:23 PM

I was disappointed when Allah deleted his blog, as I was a fan when he posted regularly and thought it was nice that he'd at least put up a post there now and then after he had retired from full-time blogging. I don't really get the point of deleting a blogspot blog, as it takes zero effort to just leave it as it is. The only point of deleting really is to let someone else take it over.

And S. Weasel, this isn't even holding onto a domain for $8 a year or whatever. Blogspot blogs are free.

Posted by: Bob on December 11, 2005 04:38 PM

It's great that Boston Irish is back at it, he's funny as hell.

I deleted my blog, We are full of shit, when I quit. Don't regret it at all. Takes away that temptation to go back and think I'm a funny guy all over again. Personally, I think it's a good idea to get rid of your old shit to help keep you cranking out new material. Maybe other people don't have this problem with continually rereading their old stuff but I did and it was just a waste of time. Either you're going to rewrite it for future publication or it's deadweight.

Some dude took my address over with some sort of corporate cellphone blog. Something about SMS. I'm not cool enough to get a porn address taker I guess.

Posted by: Jer Olson aka Blow Hard on December 11, 2005 04:43 PM

Maybe, Allah had his reasons for deleting his blog.

Posted by: on December 11, 2005 05:15 PM

Hey, do you think someone might sue Allah over this? Allah blogs, gets sued, deletes his blog, gets sued. Please, can we come up with a photoshop for this? Something like, "Blogging: It's a trap!"

Posted by: Admiral Akbar on December 11, 2005 05:23 PM

Hahahahaha!

Hey, how do you know the porn/mail order bride thing isn't Allah's new gig? All babies gotta eat, and everyone can't get into that hot Pajamamedia blogmoney.

Posted by: Andrea Harris on December 11, 2005 06:24 PM

thanks for the link.

Steven Den Beste:

Or just don't use Internet Explorer (and preferably, Windows, while we're at it). Any competently-made Web browser should not be able to be hijacked by malicious code.

If only they'd had munu blogs, this would never have happened.

Posted by: Pixy Misa on December 11, 2005 08:49 PM

Just today I rearanged my blog list local html file, and clicked on allah's link and got the porn/mail order bride thing.

I even cliced on the links to the right with no ill effects.

ya gotta like firefox. and zone alarm, and spybot, and adaware, and AVG...

All free, all microsoft free!

Posted by: moflicky on December 11, 2005 09:29 PM

Same thing happened to me :)
I went from www.jlynnsmith30.blogspot.com to my new address, and someone took the old one within a day! And posted a dumb poem. Annoying.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
