7 years I been enjoying this thing and now....... due to duckhead virus duck 
faces
I have closed it down. My computer became majorly infected with all kinds of 
bs.
Then if this didn't make the dickheads happy, somehow they tagged along onto 
my website.
I'm guessing either my html files became infected here or something clung 
onto the ftp program I use.
Either way the html on the site became infected and would try and pull some 
bs on people that visited.
So quickly I got flagged as a malicious website.

Not knowing how to secure the site or get rid of that flagging I decided to 
close it down.
now I got 900 character links and ads to show a picture of a ding dong.

I would love to find the duckheads that screw over computers and take a blow 
torch to their nuts.

As a network admin, I'd like to take a blowtorch to the nuts of fuckheads
who don't know how to secure their own fucking websites or computers.

I tried to ROT 13 this back into English, but it still didn't make any 
sense.

I dunno what he's crying about either but a few fragments reminds me of an
incident we had around here a few years ago.

One of the larger music websites we run, the owner was on a mini tour and
hitting all the free wifi spots while traveling, one of them must of had a
sniffer on it, they got his ftp username and password.

Was sort of odd because what they did was, after looking around the site at
everything, they downloaded all the .html files. Then each one was modified
with a single new line in it, encrypted javascript linking to some server to
pull ads for an online casino and uploaded back up.

It was really low key, just a small ad at the bottom of the page, centered
and in many cases, almost looked like it belonged there.

Funny thing about the whole thing, he didn't even notice for months, like
almost a year. It wasn't until the server the ads were being pulled from
went offline and they started to show up as empty rectangles with question
marks in them. He called us wondering what those were because he said they
shouldn't be there.

Was a pretty subtle hack.

But he wasn't crying all over it and took it down or anything. We got him to
use sftp instead, fixed up all the files and continued on.

Ok, figured it out.

www.ferrari-dvd.com

When you hit that it gives one of those warnings the site is unsafe because
of malware...

"Of the 4 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 3 page(s)
resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user
consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-12-18, and the
last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2012-12-15."

Seems more like a badge of honor to me.

What was it picking up, third-party advertising? Cat pictures?
