I don’t know why anyone would bother now, but we were hacked a few days ago (February 21 at 2:32PM according to the logs). You may have noticed being redirected to some random porn site or being told by your browser that Irreligiosophy was a “dangerous site.” True enough, I guess.

We’re back up and running, and I’ll look for some ways to harden the default WordPress install. The forums are not going to make it, because the hacker injected code into every php file, and I don’t really want to go back and remove it or even bother to reinstall phpBB. Everything else should be up and running. But if this becomes too much of a problem — if I’m going to have to come back here frequently and clean up some script kiddy’s mess, or if it takes too much of my time hardening the site, it will go away too. I have too much to do to babysit a site that isn’t really active any more. So save those mp3s now, because who knows what some asshole will do in the future. And by “some asshole,” I mean me.

And if you haven’t signed up already, here’s the Unapologetics Announcement List:[ALO-EASYMAIL-PAGE]

The good folks over at Church of Awesome (some of whom you may remember from the Mormon Missionary and Temple episodes) had a round table on the absurdity of the Atonement and invited me to join in. The result can be found here: The Atonement.

I think I was a little fuzzy from the beginnings of a sinus infection mixed with an off-brand energy drink, but I had a good time. Give it a listen for the rest of the crew in any case.

Well, my hard drive crashed while I was editing episode 111, so I am raising the white flag and closing up shop on Irreligiosophy. I’ve locked the forums and will lock the site up within the next week or two. I’ve left a link to a mailing list — for those who are interested, sign up for the list and I’ll use it exactly once to email an announcement when Unapologetics goes live. Thank you to everyone who donated, it helped more than you know.

All of the episodes will remain available here and at iTunes for the foreseeable future, unless it starts costing me extra money to do so. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
