AlltheInterweb Pixel Ads Discontinues

The section of AlltheInterweb known as AlltheInterweb Pixels has been discontinued, this being an attempt at a Pixel Advertising platform.

It has been put out of use for two reasons:

  1. The script that made it work, called GPix is old and doesn’t appear to work under PHP 7
  2. No f****r was using the damn thing anyway.

Other options for offering direct advertising on AlltheInterweb are under consideration for the future in addition to the use of adverts from Google AdSense and Amazon Associates.

AlltheInterweb Answers is Under Repair

Having being screwed for most of the year due to issues with switching to PHP 7 (like many parts of the stuff on the web hosting I use), since early morning on Monday 14th October 2019 repairs have been underway to once again try get AlltheInterweb Answers functional again.

AlltheInterweb Answers is an effort by this AlltheInterweb website you’re looking at to have a go at creating a Q&A website similar to Yahoo Answers or Quora, using a free to download PHP script and available add-ons.

Repairs include upgrading the script from version 1.7.4 to 1.8.3, which apparently likes newer versions of PHP better than the one that was in use. It appears to have done the trick for the worst of the problems, and I can access the admin bits of the site again.

Continuing repairs are on-going by the removal of a s**t-load of spam posts, mostly from the IP Address ranges:

The site will become active again when I’ve finished tweaking, and making sure everything works.
