Welcome back, again!

» April 16 by Tao in Site News with 52 Comments

Hi everyone! I apologize once again for the terrible ordeal ICM has gone through the past week or so. We had gotten everything going and then the hacker struck again. This is unfortunate, but we deal. We will be moving to a new host and unfortunately because of Coppermine’s obvious security flaws, we’ll be switching to a new gallery. Hopefully this will be better than ever! During the time of the switch to a new host, ICM might be unaccessible for up to 24 hours. This is mandatory for us to be more secure and at a better place. Until then, have fun. The forum is still operational, and should be fine. The media site still works and has never had any harm. If you run into any area with problems, please let me know and I will fix them. For the record, IE users seem to be the ones experiencing the most problems with this. I suggest using FireFox.

Also for fun, there is a new ‘article’ by The Sun in which Rupert talks about Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, LA, and HBP. We caution that this is probably a bit sensationalized because The Sun is a well known tabloid. But with the recent problems we thought we’d give everyone a laugh. Now some of this might be true, but I’m just suggesting that you take most, if not all, with a grain of salt. Any way, you can view the article here. Thanks to SnitchSeeker for letting us know!

UPDATE: As assumed, the little piece from the Sun is definitely bogus recently confirmed by the WB. But hey, I’m all for a good laugh. :) Thanks to Suzeeq for the tip!

  1. Thank goodness we have this back at least for now. Very happy!!!

  2. This is a good start.

  3. It is good to have everything back! It was upsetting when it happened again. This is just temporary, things are going to change and ICM will be back better than ever. We have a major idea in the pipelines that I think is really going to be a fan favorite. I can’t wait for that! First things first, we’re going to get this damn thing back it’s original look and feel and be even better than before. :)

  4. Heh. Sorry, that last one was me… It likes to go by admin. :P

  5. YAY! its back. thanks for working so hard to put it back up.

  6. Turns out the Sun article is false (as we all suspected, it is the Sun afterall lol )

  7. Still a long ways to go, but it’ll be back at full strength, and hopefully better than ever. :) I hope everyone can spread the word that everything is fine again!

    LOL I figured as much. I was trying not to be so “this is so not true” because, well, you never know. But I thought it was false. It just did not sound like Rupert. Thanks Suzeeq! :)

  8. Oops, forgot to say WELCOME BACK ICM. You were missed.

  9. Thanks Nailed, PROPS goes to TAO for her hard working and you can thank me for being the NAGGER!

    And sorry but I just got an email from Rupert and he said it is true and for everybody here to shut up and stay out of his business!

  10. Welcome back ICM! I missed you guys so much and Rupert news and pictures. The last time i was on here it said something about rupert bringing his mom to Jack the Ripper which I didnt get to read because of the virus does anybody have that link?

  11. Yes Rupert did take his mom!! It was on, shoot let me get it for you. I know I missed it too!

  12. LOL Jo! I know you like this fake Rupert… but man, a lot can be said for the innocent, polite one too. :D

  13. Jo you can add it as an update. I know it’s belated, but we’ve been down for so long, a bit of catching up with news won’t hurt. :)

  14. *big juicy smack*

    Ilove you, I love you, I love you , I love you….

    *huge hug*

    I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you….

  15. Ivana I can’t find the link! Where is it, I seem to have lost it!

    Ahhhhhhhhhh AJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tao I never said I liked a fake Rupert. Where do you get that from? It’s a joke!

  16. Rupert took his “ma” to the Jack-the-Ripper affair:

  17. Yeah, that’s it. Thanks Jesi!

  18. Ok never mind, just emailed you lol.

  19. Dang emails, comments, communities, messengers, texting… why can’t we just send Patronuses?! :D

  20. I agree! And I want an invisibility cloak so I can rummage through Rupert’s underwear drawer.

  21. Nono Jo, I meant that you liked fake!Rupert. As in the Rupert the Sun conjured up. lol With his dissing and all…

    Patronuses would be so much better. And easier. :P

  22. LMAO!
    Jo you forgot to read my latest pervy journal entry, shame on you! :D

  23. What??? Oh reading now, WOW.

  24. Priceless, indeed! ;)

  25. But I don’t know Ivana if it were me I would be thinking of Rupert and then with his comment about big and the thing with his tongue. Shoot, I’m going to read your thing again. MAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Gosh, we are just having too much fun here… Maybe that’s why hackers hate us?!

  27. LOL Ivana. Yes, us old degenerate perverts are hated by all, even hackers. :P

  28. [IMG]http://i28.tinypic.com/2qujblg.jpg[/IMG]

    Just trying to see if we can post pics again :D

  29. uh oh

  30. [img]http://i28.tinypic.com/2qujblg.jpg[/img]

  31. [img]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a221/Rons_Personal_House_Elf/51707847RupertsNanny462008101818PM.jpg[/img]

    works for me.

  32. Well, glad that things are kinda back to normal. It sucks we gotta put our freakin email address to comment. *sigh* Oh well.

    God I want those shoes he got on in that pic Jo. I wanna smell them and lick them.

  33. I knew that when I read the Sun’s report that that was so false. Rupert ain’t mean and nasty as to say that kind of shit about somebody. It’s not like him. *flips the Sun off*

  34. Heya everybody! Just wanted to pop in and get accounted for. I’m here, but with only minor injuries from this little fiasco. Geez, we should give Tao a huge round of applause for being such a trooper through all of this. And a virtual ball gag for Jo, regarding her previous comment about being a nag. LOL j/k

    Man, we SHOULD be able to send Patronuses to each other, that would have been far more convenient. Only if we knew what our Patronuses were, then we could do it. Isn’t there some type of Patronus generator on the net? Kind of like with LOTR, you can type in your name and it will convert it to either Elvin or Hobbit.

    Holy crap! ICM is naked without the smilies! Okay, enough of my senseless rambling. Glad to be back!

  35. Darlene, I didn’t put my email address to post. You can comment without it.

  36. Stupid Sun article is lkike defamation of character. People that dont know much about him will just think he’s an asshole. On Perezhilton.com some people were trashing him for ‘saying’ that. Ugh so stupid. Poor Rupey. He’s way too sweet to say those things TO A TABLOID. He probably says stuff like that to his friends tho hahaha.

  37. Woohoo!! I’m so glad ICM is back up (well almost back up) I’ve had slight withdraw issues to deal with since those damn hackers got ya’ll.

    I didn’t believe that stupid tabloid article for a second when I read it. Although, I have to admit…there’s somthing about imagining Rupert as cocky prick that got me slightly HOT! Oooops! But I would never trade that for our sweet, humble Rupert.

    Glad to be back!

  38. Apparently this still was a good thing for him because it got him a lot of good press on some big media sites lol.

  39. It’s hysterical really. I think real fans knew something fishy about it, but he was also talking to the Sun at the play.com expo though, so it’s hard to tell. So I was wondering if he didn’t talk about a little something with it. LOL

  40. oh god Tao lol! The second I read it I shouted “bullsh*t!!!” at my screen. No joke. :)

  41. ICM back! \o\ /o/ \o\

  42. Welcome back ICM!!!oh I can’t wait for the new site, I can see it’s going to be even better, I’m so excited! Yeah,it was quite obvious since the begining that article was fake, Rupert wouldn’t say that (although I kinda agree with it)…also the stuff about the Lavender/Ron/Hermione scenes sound fishy to me, he just wouldn’t say that.

  43. Wow! ~~~ so happy!! ICM is back!
    I am going to die without ICM.
    Thanks a loooooot, Tao! And Jo, of course. >_*

  44. I’m glad you guys are excited about ICM’s return. :) Please spread the word. I’m sure there are a ton of people who don’t know! And I promise, that at least what we’ve experienced is completely gone. And we’ll be moving to a very secure server and I will never be using Coppermine again!

  45. So glad you are mostly back to normal. I can’t understand why people do this sort of thing especially to sites run by volunteers with no commercial gain involved.

    Just could you check the “contact me” on “Site Stuff” at the bottom, I got strange things even now.

    Keep up the good work you deserve our support with all this lot.

  46. (looks around for large wooden horses…..) Whew! Ok, thank you Tao for not giving up. We love you. I never believed Rupert said such things to the press, but I really can see them mangling his answers. I did think the article was hilarious though.

  47. Thanks for getting ICM back…I really missed it! It sucks that the attack happened, but it’ll only make the site better from here forward. The things people do….sad!

  48. Thanks for comments guys! We survived it and things like this only makes us better!

  49. I’m so glad everything is ok w/ the site! when i tried to open it I just thought my computer was messed up, but it turns out it was a prolem for everone (which still isn’t good). That thing about rupert and The Sun really dosen’t seem like anything he would ever say, but Lindsay and Paris really haven’t done anything to make their reputation’s better. I just hate the fact that they used/ pretended that rupert dised them instead of just going straight out and just saing what they feel about the two themselves! Oh well, I guess that’s a tabloid for you! again, so glad to see everything is ok! : ]

  50. oh, also wanted to say that I totally agree with Darliene about Rupert’s shoes in that pic; I so would lick them! : ] (just not on the bottom)

  51. I miss this place.

  52. I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Welcome back, again!, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
