...and now you got gaping anus in the face [more updates]

The site that was Goatsed went down as Forged reports. Whether or not it was because of the flooding I am not sure.
So far the Goatse poster has received 2 IP bans. The webmaster has removed more than 50 offensive images. Has disabled the posting of images and has required the logging in to post comments.
As one user of the forums has put it: it sure is difficult to post comments while looking at that image.
Compared to Slashdot, those forums are easily crapfloodable. No lameness filters of any kind as far as I can tell. The ultimate post would combine width, length, and some of this.

Ultimate BB Guestbook (Score:1)
From your link, it appears it was running the Ultimate Guestbook [google.com] perl scripts. Many guestbooks [optimalthinking.com] powered by this lame-o software tend to leave their admin [optimalthinking.com] passwords [optimalthinking.com] in plain view.
(note to infopop corporation: Having a dual password scheme doesn't increase security if you store both passwords, in plaintext, in a world readable text file.)
Hopefully the slashdot troll community will see this message and find it in their hearts to gently let these webmasters know that their guestbooks are not secure.
