[SCA-BMDL] New URL for the Dark Pages

Thu Oct 14 11:02:30 EDT 2021

Greetings from Myfanwy!
Good to know that things are fixed.  Ditto to what Hara said about Arianna and Alaric.
Me, though, I’m not remotely surprised at Google doing something this slimy.  Because these days, when I’m looking stuff up (say, the number from a spam call I got) it’s more like throwing a pot of spaghetti on the wall to see what sticks.  I get hits for sites that not only DON’T have the information, I get hits that get me “500 | Server Error” or “this might be a fraudulent site” pages (when they shouldn’t be showing me the links at ALL).  Oh, and there was the one that was not only information about the phone numbers?  It was a MANGA PORN site!  I keep reporting this sh*t and nothing happens (well they now have a warning for the manga porn one, but they STILL show it on the first 10 hits sometimes….  NOT GOOD ENOUGH.  Oh, and Google Maps is a joke.  Got me lost in Indiana in the parking lot for a (closed) hotel a couple of weeks ago.  And when we were driving to and from central NYS last weekend (burial service for Alastar’s two brothers’ ashes) every time we hit a traffic circle it would tell us what exit to go out — AS WE WERE ALREADY DOING SO….

Some of the people on our list may not be easily available any more, not to mention that there are over 300 of them. So they have to be hosted privately.
