On Friday I had a bit of scare. From my Inboxen™:
Attention Andrew:
Your BlueHost.Com account for andrewferguson.net was deactivated. Your data may still be temporarily available even though your web site may not be functioning. If you feel this deactivation is in error, please contact support as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Bluehost Support
A quick check on my site indicated that it had been deactivated.
Fuck, was pretty much the only word that came to mind. I quickly called up BlueHost to see what the problem was.
As it turned out, some spammer had found my little project and was using it to disguise their links. This made it look like I was spamming, even though I was not. Not even ten minutes later, everything was cleared up. Then I went and took down BURL offline.
I may go back and implement a CAPTCHA or include a Terms of Service Agreement. But that’s where BURL is.
