\"Flluffy<\/a>So surprise surprise the last day of the month for an update!<\/p>\n

Who knew that stranger things could happen. Obviously the critics will think “she’s
\ntrying to hide something for us” while those who give us credit will think “she’s
\nprobably mixing it up a bit for us” which lets face it Lipcrack have been known to do.<\/p>\n

Last day of the month and I should be reporting fantastic news e.g. Mail out’s have
\ncontinued to go well, site stats are kicking up a storm etc. etc. Currently though it’s
\nnot like that and while I don’t like to go back in history reporting on every incidence
\nof foul play that goes on almost on a daily basis these days, I’m going to touch base
\nwith a few of those things that have gone on which should be mentioned.<\/p>\n

First up the Twitter response when the account was locked down :<\/p>\n

“Twitter has automated systems that find and remove automated spam accounts in bulk.
\nUnfortunately, it looks like your account got caught up in one of these spam groups by
\nmistake.\u00a0Your account is now unlocked, sorry for the inconvenience”.<\/p>\n

Then after some down time mailing through our “highly regulated and very securely
\nchecked mail system” it was brought to my attention that “something was up”.<\/p>\n

Mailouts have actually been on hold for over a month now and was bought about by
\n1. Poor service performance at OPTUS which led to a new IP for the computer to be linked to. There’s been issues with that which are still outstanding but being attended to as
\neach matter that came to light is resolved.<\/p>\n

2. When mail out’s did commence via our mail program it came to our attention that mail
\ntests which confirm everything is operational could not be completed. That suggested
\nthat details needed to be updated but further checks determined that changes had
\noccurred at the hosting company of the web site.<\/p>\n

Regarding that a question and answer process has been in place for a few weeks now (yes a little longer than we’d like) but getting to the bottom of what has gone on is
\ncrucial.<\/p>\n

So far it’s been determined that Domain Name Servers were changed to point to different
\nservers in charge of different functions which are all apart of the hosting of the site
\nincluding mail and site statistics. The fact that something had occurred there became
\nevident when site stats showed very irregular behavior which was what started the
\nquestioning process with them.<\/p>\n

I’m going to say this I’ve had a number of opinions on matters in relation to hosting
\nwith the current hosting company since we commenced with them. I wouldn’t be surprised
\nif someone said “When hasn’t she had one?”, particularly because they’re quite critical
\nopinions. One thing I don’t profess to be is perfect. But I do know when I consider some
\nthing to be as strange as to be suspicious. However to cut what is a long update short
\nbecause I could go on about it I’m going to relay the following information.<\/p>\n

Discussions have been good in terms of determining what is going on at the hosting
\ncompany. Their staff have been in discussion with their “Administration” which
\npersonally to me seem to have another agenda above and beyond hosting accounts which I have maintained seems to be the case with web site hosting on line generally. I’ve
\nactually been very pleased with the information that has come to light in relation to
\nCpanel which generally is the “Control Panel” that most hosting companies in the United
\nStates use. While the hosting companies wouldn’t admit this, they’re in a relationship
\nwith that business where they have to rely on the updates that come through in relation
\nto it’s functionality because fact is you cannot run a hosting company without some kind
\nof platform for end users to host web sites.<\/p>\n

That obviously doesn’t really give people a good idea of what’s going on. I’m going to
\nsay this, I am still in the process of talking through this matter. However to give you
\nan idea of how serious it is and something that only came to my attention a few days ago
\nin the process of questioning which I haven’t as yet even brought to the hosting
\ncompanies attention although I can tell you this, “someone in that company is
\nresponsible for it, and that someone has been caught in an act which as yet hasn’t been
\nconfirmed or released to that company other than it’s been documented from this end”.
\nIt’s also a very different issue to those being discussed however seems to provide
\nfurther evidence that supports some of my conclusions in the matter.<\/p>\n

I have attached an image of the matter and will say this, “the Security Certificate I
\nbought for the site was purchased five months ago when the static IP was purchased. It
\nwas not purchased 10 day’s ago and suggests some very deceptive conduct in relation to
\nthat hosting companies practices”. If they’re going to suggest to me when I do bring
\nthat final piece of documentation to their attention that “Oh it seems to be an error in
\nour accounting system we were not aware of”, well currently I can’t tell you how
\nunpleasant my initial response would be in terms of what I’m thinking.<\/p>\n

\"sslcertificate\"<\/a>
\nSo realistically you’d think that would be enough of the Bad News and time for some Good
\nNews. I did have some but that seems to have been put on hold due to another group of
\nbusinesses that I have also grown to disrespect in terms of being credibly likeable or
\nreliable. I will have more news on that next month.<\/p>\n

All I can say at the moment is the plan to start the new EP in 2016 is still the plan.
\nAs difficult as I know it’s going to be but at the same time as “Outrageously humorous”
\nas I know it will be.<\/p>\n

Thank you for all the new sign up’s to the Blog although I’m sure 90% of them are some
\nkind of fake “hijack” battalion.<\/p>\n

I’ll have more news in December which I know will be release before the last day of the
\nmonth. Like I said, I just wanted to do something different.<\/p>\n
