Forum, users, spammers, bans, demotivators.

It’s nice to have many registered users. It’s nice to have them coming, joining and participating. It’s nice to have a raising graph. It’s nice to have nice users.

It’s not not nice to deal with SPAM. After the SPAM storm during the last two days, I finally looked into the user database and this is the result:

  • Deleted 500+ awaiting activation accounts
  • Banned 250+ users
  • Half of online users in the past 24 hours were in fact spammers (if you are registered you can see their account struckthrough).
  • 300+ profiles were thoroughly checked also against the “known spammers” database
  • Upgraded the forum software
  • Added plug-ins, tweaked configuration
  • Spent more than one day of my life on that crap

Is it gonna help? At least I’ve learnt a thing or two and will keep an eye on more details than used to before. Yeah, more work, less fun. Speaking of demotivators…

Oh, yeah… If you find your account blocked and you think that it happened by mistake, or or if you cannot register, drop me a mail or ask in the chat.

Facebook – end of story

Even Atsuko Kudo was deleted! Unbelievable… Facebook admins (or managers?) are idiots…

Thanks to @Overchief

Nevertheless I decided to give Facebook another chance. I registered under a pretty existing name, created a company page, even activated my nick using my cell phone, acquired ~650 friends (almost two times less then earlier). And guess what? Yesterday my account was deleted again.

This time I’m not going to ask for the reason, I do not care. Facebook proved to be absolutely useless. Not many visits, no conversations, no comments. Much-much less than during my first FB period. Users “disappear” faster than “reappear”. Just huge Firefox load.

I think Facebook has passed the peak of popularity. The popularity I can not explain. So far only two social networks continue to “deliver”: professional LinkedIn (mostly used in US and NL) and LiveJournal (in RU). Tumbler is good for finding new photos, Twitter for breaking news and live events.

What to add, change, improve on the site?

And another post asking for money opinion! (The first one was about my birthday).

What would you like to see new, changed, improved, removed, updated, redesigned on the site? The utter goal is to attract more visitors and to increase participation.

Does anybody want his/her own blog on this website? Free of charge, of course? Local social networking? What about a chat function? It can be a separate application or an integrated ICQ client. A on-line drawing tool/board (oekaki-like)? On-line games? Portal functions? A possibility to create groups/community? A separate photo/art sharing board? Add a Shop?

In the nearest future I would like to do the following:

Inflatable enema nozzles, Bardex, C. R. Bard, Inc and generic names

A week ago I received the following mail:

Our firm represents C , R. Bard, Inc. of Murray Hill, New Jersey, owner of the federally registered trademark BARDEX. The BARDEX trademark has been registered in the United States since 1951 in connection with various medical products, specifically urological catheters (US. Trademark Registration No. 543,922).

We learned of the improper and unauthorized use of our clients’ mark in connection with your website, likera.com. In particular, improper references to the BARDEX mark appear at the following URLs:

Facebook is down

Facebook is down since 20-30 minutes ago. That may affect performance worldwide. For example, the “Like” buttons are actually frames with content downloaded from Facebook. And since it’s down, such buttons will delay the page downloading.

Another side effect is Twitter, which is overloaded and even down in some countries. What a chain reaction…

I have updated my Contact page with a bunch of social nets I’m on. As you may have noticed, I’m experimenting with integrating them (you see the buttons underneath the posts, don’t you?) into the blog.

I have a related question. Do you find this stuff useful? Have you ever clicked on any of the buttons to “share” the content? Do you think it would be worthwhile to invest more efforts in this area (e.g. comments integration with Facebook)?

Inescapable Self-bondage session 74. Anal hook and karada hogtie

Self-bondage session latex leotard fishnets rubber hoodThat was the last full-scale self-bondage session during my “home alone” time last year. See other real self-bondage adventures in the Completed sessions section.

I bought an anal hook on eBay (see “Anal hook review, self-bondage scenarios and interesting reflections“) and was overly excited to use it. The idea was to use the hook as an anchor connected to the bed through the ice-lock.

I was wearing the following:

Anal hook review, self-bondage scenarios and interesting reflections

Anal hookI like versatile gadgets, toys and fetish clothes. So you can use them in various ways. After seeing many photos, scenarios and drawings I finally bought the anal hook on eBay.

The result exceeded my expectations. But let’s go step by step.

You can see the dimensions on the photos. Some hooks come with interchangeable ball, but to “prove the concept” I decided to go the cheapest and the most reliable (I hope) way – non-replaceable 4cm anal ball.
