Ahh, Haruhi seems to be back at it again. The animation seems a step up over the last season, it looks a lot better. Not that there was anything wrong with the first season, but this just looks better. I can't say if this is a acurate representation of the series as a whole, as it appears to be a teaser more than anything. The guys labled it a trailer, so I'l just call it.

Well damn, do I feel stupid for falling for this.
If a mod sees this thread, can I get my regular IP unbanned please? >_>

Just a warning, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK, IT WILL GET YOU BANNED. Already happened to three of my friends.
Edit: Also, if it isn't apparent already, this news is probably false.

Same here (original IP needs unbanning). BTW, thanks PantsGoblin. I wouldn't have known about this thread had you not linked me.
I am rather impressed though, and I would like to know what exactly caused the banning.

Also, if I may be so bold as to ask, why does such a page exist in the first place? It seems like it would serve no purpose except for topics like this, and I can't imagine ANN staff wants topics like this.

Maybe Zac uses it to link to his better arguments. :3

Also, it's probably pretty apparent, but the second poster seems to be working with the first poster, saying he apparently viewed the trailer (which does not exist). Meaning both should be banned.

Their userid are linked (135710 and 135711), assuming they registered together. Maybe even the same computer.
This is certainly the newest kind of phishing, and the second type of malicious attack related to SHnY. The first one was a Japanese virus featuring Yuki Nagato.

Something seems very out of place.
That ban page gave me this:
| Ban Page wrote: | | You have been banned from Anime News Network for either:
hammering the site (opening too many concurrent connections, or too many connections in a short period of time)
excessive downloading
breaking the robots.txt rules |
1) ANN isn't a fansub channel, it's a source for anime news. Therefore, this makes no sense.
| The rest of it wrote: | | If you think this is in error, or if there is a reasonable explaination for your actions please contact us by sending an email to editor at animenewsnetwork dot com. Make sure to include the following information in your mail:
IP: 68.124.191.120
Hostname:
User-Agent: Opera/8.01 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) |
2) Blatant spelling error here.
I don't think it was set up by any ANN staff member. It's probably some prank pulled by some kid with no life.

All the IPs banned by this have been unbanned.
This wasn't some sort of hack, but rather an abuse of a crude anti-bot script that ANN has in place. A future version of the script will not be succeptible to this kind of abuse.

Yeah, I've never been in any rush to fix that... Since 90% of the "people" who see it are bots.

Thanks for the quick fix . . . I kind of felt stupid after clicking the link so fast, but more Haruhi was just too sweet.
But now I know. そして わかる こと は たたかい の 半分 だよ (Soshite Wakarukoto wa tatakai no hanbun da yo) . . . Hope that doesn't get me banned.

Why would saying "And knowing is half the battle" (courtesy of G.I. Joe) be something to ban someone over?
I appreciate the staff in their patience in this matter and hope that they will have this dealt with completely as soon as possible for them. I'm not asking them to push themselves, just saying the sooner the protections are fixed and whatnot the sooner they can start doing what's mroe important...like watching anime

If you clicked on the link (which has since been removed), your IP would have been banned. It happened to me as well. I figured the news was BS, but I was curious what gave them the idea that there was a new season so I foolishly clicked on it.
