Default More Hacker Attacks!

Dear Eratosphereans,

You might have found the site
was down today
crippled by the blight
of hackers who prey
on us with DOS attacks
but I have won
this round and sealed the cracks
and hope they’ll bug out and be gone!

Cheers,
…Alex

OH. MY. GOD.

Captain Alex is posting a poem in a non-poem thread.

Can I please spank you?

Thank you for protecting us from the vicious hackers, Capt'n! But I still think I need to spank you!

(hee hee heee!!!!!!!!!!)

Alex,

I wondered what was going on;
was someone playing silly tricks?
The site was well and truly gone!
How would I get my daily fix
of Metrical, of D & A,
all that poetic bric-a-brac?
I’m glad to hear you won the day
and that Eratosphere is back.

P.S.

Hehehe Cally! You spake of spanking ... & you're the right one for it!

And I declare this thread, an Eratosphere-stress-relieving-post-away-your-heart-lightening-poems thread! ... and I see that Brian has already jumped in!

Cheers,
...Alex

Wake today, and quake with fear:
Get my coffee, get no ‘sphere
Yay for A who’s cyber-clear:
Get the hack outta here!

Default just because this is an opportunity not to be missed

Slackery quackers! Im-
pertinent hackers had
bunged up the server with
code-slinging pranks.

Alex has bested them
technolo-magic'ly,
and for this blessing, we
proffer our thanks.

Please do spackle the cracks
through which hackers will steal.
Mr. Pepple, show mettle
and tighten the keel.

Our poems need help.
But overtly, I feel.
Leaky form piques fresh mischief.
Imagine the squeal

with temptation so keen:
That the thief took the wheel.
