The Macross Virus
by Bug Einme

Hi, I am glad that this site is back and finally decided to add on a technical section. You know, ever since Evil Sferx was driven out of Spherx’s Domain, people have been sending me mail asking me exactly what is the Macross virus.
Hackurus was particularly clever in coming up with this idea. You see the Macross virus is a computer retro virus. That’s right a retro virus. It encoded itself into the website’s code and every time the page was viewed (after the reverse encoding occurred) the Macross virus would replicate itself exponentially. This had the added bonus effect of making the computer screen look all matrixy (AWESOME!!!). When the virus went into action it was like setting Idiot Chittix loose in a Fine China Distributor. Which is quite a lot of damage. By the way if any of you would like to help pay for that ‘incident’ send the good people at Nebulus Visions a check.
Anyway, the resulting destruction coupled with all the emails about broken links, sent Evil Sferx blasting across the Alkali flats in a jet powered, monkey navigated, pinto bean straight to a loony bin. Now some of you are probably scratching your head and saying, if the virus was that destructive, why did it take so long to crash the site? My answer to that is: the Virus needed time to build up its numbers. The virus would be ineffective if it did not have enough copies of itself running around the website. As I am sure the smarter members of the crowd are saying, but if it copied itself exponentially, it should have had more than enough to run amok through the website after a day. To these people I have one thing to say.
WE AREN’T THAT POPULAR OF A WEBSITE!!! We get excited when we get a single hit in a month. Others of you are probably saying Evil Sferx shouldn’t have gone to a loony bin over one crashed website. Obviously these people don’t have to deal with the pressure of going to school all day, coming home to an empty house, having to go to the store because all of your food is starting to learn Swahili, and having to maintain a website!.. Hmmmm if you take away the website, then his life is just like mine. OH GOD NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*sniff* I’m going to sit in the bathroom and eat Rice Krispy Treats for a week. That is if I could afford a bathroom. Oh well this corner will have to do.. See you in my next article.
