* Facebook Shows Its Other Face! *
My ongoing adventure to get back on Facebook :(

***LATEST NEWS***

September 11, 2007 7:45PM CST

HI folks today is a very sad day for america but i thought i would maybe post some super kawaii links that relate to facebook to cheer you up lol ok first we have a very cute girl that i dont know what she looks like but apparantly a little while ago she owned the fuck out of facebook with some tricky XSS here is a screenshot of her youtube adventure

Watch the video it is quite impressive. Ive come to realize that theo nly thing facebook is good for now is Graffiti which keeps me pretty busy , other than that I have a hard time trying to find shit to do b/c everyone is blocked plus I have to stay on this retarded high school account sigh anyway I was crawling around the internet and I realized no one leaves me fan letters any more this is a very sad day for Super Facebook I guess maybe I'll retire so this is probably one of the last updates maybe, idk

Hey friends. I was sifting around my blog stats counter program and found a pretty silly page coming from a fellow named Justin Kistner with a blog post entitled How someone hacked Facebook and the immaturity of the web at Metafluence. First off auto-lol at using a wordpress blog (Super Facebook keeps it real with unvalidated XHTML) secondly he picks on this HOT website for pointing out irrefutable logic as to why Facebook sucks and then goes on to attack a different website probably hoping to get some DIGG hittttss. Anyway in an olde spirit fashioned of web surfing I couldnt help but notice the sheer self-domination of one of these:

0 REPLIES.

OWNED

also whoops this is pretty late in replying sigh ive been a little busy checking out the fun ongoings with the Facebook super secrets blog and all that jazz; I like how facebook is like Oh whatever that guy published isnt secure etc but then they freak the fuck out and slap dcma notices to have the blog taken down. Ok back to facebook I logged in the other day and found like 50 notifications because some girl added me in a pic then like some other people commented it really ruined my day what a hassle deleting all these notifications i dont have time for this i need more time to buy $1 Gifts etc and maybe a couple of Free Gifts with the conveinent Free Gifts application. Anyway im still LOLing at the inclusion of a tag named 'immature' .. If it is my lucky day and I was looking for Facebook AND immature I would be so fortunate to come across that guys blog and learn ALL about SUPER FACEBOOK for life.

August 12, 2007 10:25PM CST

Well it looks like Facebook is probably going to shut down (I HOPE) thanks to the awesome lawsuit from ConnectU. I'm in a group right now talking to some highschoolers about what they think and the general consensus is Facebook sucks, so I think that is probably enough to get the site shut down.

It is pretty fun, this group, feel free to drop by and give a super facebook shoutout: http://hs.facebook.com/wall.php?id=2808848431

I also stumbled across this nifty URL a little earlier

http://facebooksecrets.blogspot.com

Which seems to reveal several secrets regarding Facebook's code. Disssss ok man this site is fucking dead i cant believe you people are still coming here but keep clicking on ad$ $$$

June 16, 2007 9:45AM CST

Wow I forgot this stupid site even existed not really I'm always checking the latest comments and super important up-to-date information on the Facebook blog as well as posting some really awesome pictures on my kool Graffiti application that rests comfortably on my Facebook page check out some of these cool pix i made just for my special super facebook friends

lets be honest here, im not a fan of these new Apps and the whole site is really cluttered and shitty (unlike this site) and last time (in june) i talked about Facebook it wasnt even to this point, now its probably ten thousand times worse with all of these ads etc. Since i dont have any facebook friends due to my account getting wiped if i add anyone i used to be friends with, i cant really take a screengrab of how cluttered it is but my IRL friends assure me when they log on they are greeted with all sorts of ridiculous bullshit like 'Add my pet as your friend' etc. Wow thats pretty neat i guess, i mean instead of stalking around looking for nice girls to chat up a storm with, i can be friends with your cats.

Hey nice shoes there pal, were your custom fitted John Lobb casuals totally tear up the flooring in the corner of the room your sitting in for this wikipedia photoshoot? PS nice sweater dropout failure ok back to important issues, like this shitty website and APP-Spam. Thats all it is really it is a money making shit machine sort of like the "Gifts" . Ok I gotta jet, Peace out niggaz keep it real and be sure to leave a comment at the bottom of the page i like getting nice letters from REAL people like YOU!

June 4, 2007 4:30PM CST

Long time no see fellow anti-facebook friends. I have been busy taking a break from Facebook since the site sucks etc. But I logged on the other day and LMFAO the site is myspace. Nice options to put horoscopes on your profile, I must add. So the whole site is a joke now, much more than before. It was only time, as theorized in Chase Lanier's famous speech where he states that you will be playing GAMES in your profile one day. So yeah, anyway since then some nice people have attempted to exploit Facebook a little more, you can read their awesome findings here:

http://packetstormsecurity.org/filedesc/facebook_spam_flaw.pdf.html

http://www.duke.edu/~jyw2/wwwsecurity.html

Wow. Ok so yeah I know I'm not supposed to be doing updates any more because technically I sold all of Super Facebook to Pops a couple of months back but I thought I would address an issue that has been bugging me recently.. that is that SOMEHOW my website, custommusicrecords.com, was marked under the SonicWall Corporate Firewall system as a 'blocked' site. I'm thinking the ONLY way my site would have turned up on this system is someone in the dark, underground facebook circuit KNOWS someone at SonicWall. I mean.. surely they wanted to prevent the average viewer from looking at this vaulable and vital information. In other news, I've gotten some more fan mail from loyal viewers and I really support it. I suspect Facebook will probably have next to zero viewers a year by next year, now that they ruined the site with "Applications" also known as generic spam and pure nonsense. If you want to send me some hate email or some love email please do it ASAP anyway that's all for now sorry no new lovely pictures this time. Bye!

May 8, 2007 12:30PM CST

Hey gang! Whats going on?! ! ! Man so there really hasn't been any news lately, all I really seem to be doing with Facebook nowadays is just looking for shit groups and posting as much garbage as possible in the hopes of enraging some fellows, which is always good entertainment. But yeah Facebook keeps banning my accounts; I finally received a 'warning' on an alt account before they banned me, which it is kind of nice to see what the warning letter looks like. Fuck them anyway. Lots of positive feedback on Super Facebook aswell:

Daniel Upshaw (Old Dominion): shut the fuck up.... i checked out your website with your two-bit script kiddie experimentation. i bet you'll never be able to pull something like that again.... i'll put money on it.

It seems that everybody is just mad in love with Super Facebook. I am pretty convinced there will be another severe own soon, I'm just waiting for the right moment or something. Boy, this company is really dead :( I mean, its been like a month since I sold out to Pops and put ads all over this dumb site, what now? Maybe we can talk about that kid who threatened Hillary Clinton's life. Yeah he goes to my school, ouch. So yeah anyway absolutely nothing to talk of here, Facebook is dying I think, if you would like to support Super Facebook you can leave a comment or e-mail me. Oh and ladies, there is a new Super Facebook fan club! Send me a pic and I'll put it on here asap. Later!

So I was checking out Facebook's really neat and ultra-cool blog tonight and I did a double-take because the latest post seemed like the girl was talking about Facebook wanting to take money from blind people or something..

I read it again a little closer and sure enough, Facebook is up to no good at all. Disguised as a courtesy, Facebook's created a "screen-reader accessible version" of their "Gift Shop" so that they could more easily sell one of their $1 "Gifts" (which have a real-life cash value of $0 because they are nothing) to blind people.

I am quite certain that the blind will be very grateful that their cash purchase of a 64x64 pixel square, that they will never see, is now easier than ever. This 'Gift' bullshit is so out of control. I'm convinced everyone still thinks the money is going to charity. Or if they feel comfortable giving it to Facebook--it is because Facebook NEEDS the money to survive. While trolling the Facebook Sneak Preview group last month under the username 'Eddie Moneymaker' I had the fortune of meeting some interesting people.. one of which remarked that "I think if you pay a dollar [to Facebook] (the Gift) means something". Boy, what an absolute tragedy. Well, that was fun but I am off for now. Until next time, fuck Facebook and keep Super Facebooking.

Happy Friday the 13th. Well, Facebook is still looking really bad. The site looks like it hasn't finished loading. The 'Facebook' in the top left corner is just begging to be popped up, but it doesn't. Since Facebook still hasn't implemented the ability to search through group discussion threads, I can't find any similar comments regarding this issue. But my guess is that at some point, in the Facebook offices, someone came up with a 'clean' design and it was altered (for the worse) so the site wouldn't resemble other "Web 2.0" sites as much (namely Digg). Observe how a few simple changes to the layout improve the page dramatically, and how these changes give Facebook a look very simliar to Digg. First, Facebook how it currently looks now:

Now, with a couple of things shifted around:





Looks better, but now it looks a lot like:

Hmm.. I guess it is hard to escape this standard template look and might be a reason why Facebook moved a few things around so the toolbar wouldn't be so plain and horizontal.. and I think their shifting down the placement of the word facebook was a unique idea, but it was executed poorly because the page feels really broken. Super Facebook 4 lyfe.
 

April 11, 2007 12:30PM CST
FACEBOOK CHANGES UP THEIR SITE LOL
+BONUS INTERVIEW INCLUDED IN THIS UPDATE!+

At around 3AM this morning, Facebook launched the new design scheme they had been previewing for months. Basically, there are like 2 changes. They got rid of the fellow in the top left corner.. and they didn't line up the word 'Facebook' on the blue bar that hovers on the top of the page. That's about it. Oh yeah, and its a lot more confusing. No one knows how to do anything any more. The 'Facebook Sneak Preview' group discussion board is starting to fill up with posts by users that do not like the new format.  There are countless pleas to change it back. There are also rebuttals from Facebook fanboys that tell the confused users to "adapt to the new shit" etc. Fanboy comments:
 

Also, some intelligence:

 
Mia Shmi (Georgia State)
i miss the guy bring him back
he looked like a guy that i knew
 

Hahaha hilarious. Oh yeah, now for some fun. Earlier this morning, I had the opportunity to interview a Facebook user that did not like the changes.
 

*an Exclusive Super Facebook interview*
John Romero IV interviews "Kenneth" (a distressed Facebook user from Scotland)

John: This morning, Facebook changed the appearance of their site somewhat. What was your initial impression of the changes?

Kenneth:  My initial impression was "where's that cool guy who greats me each morning when I sign in, and why does the site suddenly look like shit?"

John:  Can you still navigate your way around the site? How is that going for you?

Kenneth:  Well Im always interested in what my friends are up to, but when Im on the home page the options at the side seem to be halved and Im left with about one option I actually use, so I have to go to my own profile and look at my own friends, at least thats what I was doing until I noticed what this horrible looking bar at the top was for, and this stupid fucking pull down menu

John:  Do you think Facebook cares about its users?

Kenneth:  Well todays gift seems to be "That Guy", a long time mascot of the userbase, it's like they are actually mocking their own users, making them give away their own none shit navigation bar. But instead we are left with this abomination. To be perfectly honest the most inviting option on this goddamn "navigation" bar is the logout button.

John:  Do you plan on using Facebook any more?

Kenneth:  Frankly I will be contacting my friends through myspace from now on and I fear I will loose contact with my friends on facebook, that is if I can even find them anymore thanks to this new mess

John:  What would you like to say to Mark Zuckerberg and his staff?

Kenneth:  Id like to tell him to learn a thing or two about graphics design or even the fucking basics of making a website, unless his goal is to loose as many users as humanly possible and ruin his own site, then Id congratulate him on a job well done. And his staff should be thought how to run a website that doesnt look like the average ten year olds freewebs site.

John:  Thank you, Kenneth

Kenneth:  If only you could thank Mr. Zuckerberg.

March 28, 2007 11:59PM CST

Today, Facebook introduced a new feature. It is called "What's New?" I found out about this really cool page via the always entertaining Facebook Blog. Here is a quick run-through and slight critique on what went down in the Facebook Blog tonight, Wednesday March 28th.

Yeah that's real entertaining. Oh Damn speaking of which, I can't believe how irresponsible I've been. I let a few awesome Digg stories slip by me for a few months now. It appears that there have been a couple of recent Facebook hacks, including one individual who had it set up so that you could change the profile picture of any group. HAHAHHAHAHA nice! Unfortunately, NOBODY won in that case. The user who found the hack REPORTED IT to Facebook, who patched it up in about an hour and a half. Uhhhhh... Damn. It seems to me like this guy had a goldmine on his hands, and it totally went to shit. An organized trolling would have been so clean and efficient. I think some users after realizing they could change any single person's profile picture to anything went and changed their friend's pictures to pictures of monkeys. Wow. Talk about a waste. And then, you might expect the person that found the hack to be getting a little praise. On the contrary.. some people were angry!!! For instance, here is what one user on Digg had to say to the individual who discovered the hack for Facebook:
 

Not only are you an idiot asswhole for posting this to the world to see, you are very likely to be caught. The apple group is currently shut down, good job, that's productive. Brian Seniuk strikes in ignorance. Not bad for a small-time Milwaukee noob. Class of '09 at MSOE. You don't think facebook can find you? You realize you must be logged in to change group pictures, right? You must realize also that facebook logs all changes made to any facebook page. Hope you had fun.

...

And here's the question, if I'm an employer looking to hire Brian Seniuk, would I hire Brian Seniuk? Well I would run a google search for 'Brian Seniuk' and find that he's tried to do some illicit things online. Then I'd reconsider hiring Brian Seniuk for that reason. Brian Seniuk is a not to be trusted in cases like this, simple as that.

 
Whoa, slow it down there, idiot. Just because you were disappointed to see your precious Corporate Apple Facebook group defaced doesn't mean you can start calling people asswholes. But I would like to know more about the response time for Facebook's patching of the hack.. it seems like it was fixed pretty damn quick. Because they were tipped off? Or they started exploiting too soon. Either way, it might very well be that finding an exploit on Facebook isn't even worth it any more. Oh well.

There is a different story on Digg that is a little more recent, giving information on how to put a webcam on your profile, or something. Unfortuantely, the story points to an invalid URL... but the root directory seems slightly interesting.. (?)

PS Facebook is still the best site on the internet don't let your friends tell you otherwise. Hey send me some comments at the bottom of the page seriously they've been really funny and usually explicit.
 

March 21, 2007 8:35PM CST

Sigh. Ever since Super Facebook Intl' Headquarters and Beach Club was sold to that boy Pops... things have been a little different. Pops was like Boy you gotta turn that shit into a fuckin cash cow. I'm like Pops you MUST continue to run Super Facebook the way it was founded--ad-free and family-friendly. But Pops was like FUKK THAT and summoned the Monster that lives on Chimes St. to implement tons of corruption on the Super Facebook Saga homepage. I was sitting with Chase out in the empty parking lot next to the old building eating a ham and cheese sandwich from Blimpie when I saw Pops throw out a stack of Twenty's from the third floor window and I could just hear him laughin. That boy apparently doesn't have a thing to worry about anymore regarding his future income.. but, he still wanted me to frequent Facebook looking for security flaws, etc. I was telling him hey that's no problem I enjoy spamming the fuck out of Facebook while representing the World Troll Association and posting pictures of goatse on groups such as 'I Love Thin Mints!' and sometimes leaving obscene comments on "Facebook Sneak Preview" . I'm still keeping an eye out. Ah yes, special thanks to the forums @ fohguild.org for linking to this page last month. Here are some choice reviews:

• i read 2 minutes of that website and the guy sounds like a douche
   

• That website has a serious case of pot and kettle syndrome.
   

• what a fucking toolbox. he scoffs at the idea of playing a march madness bracket, then he seemingly nuts his pants when he starts going off about his little facebook exploit. and i'm not real sure but messing around with HTML scripts doesn't seem like "hacking" to me.

Well gang, until next time, keep leaving me comments at the bottom of the page they've been really funny lately. I'll post some more soon.
 

March 17, 2006 12:00AM CST

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from your dear friends at the former location of the once-world-renowned Super Facebook International Headquarters. In today's hyped-up adventure we will discuss a few important topics that have been bugging me lately, as well as some special bonuses. First off, a couple of days ago, I was reading my campus newspaper The LSU Reveille and there was a nice little article written by a student named Travis Andrews that dealt with Facebook's greed. Travis nicely pointed out that Facebook's "Gifts" are basically worthless nothings designed to make Facebook money. He discussed several points that I wanted to make in this Super Facebook update, and a handful of other things. The article is entitled It seems we've been had and is pretty amusing--worth checking out. Secondly, here is a charming comment I received yesterday from a boy who does NOT like Super Facebook:
 

Mar 16, 2007 at 13:46:10
Do you like Super Facebook? >No
Boy or girl? Boy
Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi
Comment: I wanted to let you know that you seem to have misunderstood the "Mobile" feature of March Madness on Facebook. First of all, this is not fantasy basketball, it is a March Madness pool, where you pick winners of games. Second, you are not able to "play" the game from your phone (there would be nothing to do - after the games start, you have no decisions to make. This is how March Madness pools work). All this does is send you text messages with scores of games and your ranking, if you wish. This is a very useful feature, as several other websites (such as ESPN) have discontinued their text message alert services. Also, there are no ads in the text messages (just like any Mobile alert from Facebook).

Surely this comment MUST have been written by M. Zuckerberg himself. Thank you, Mark, for reminding me that Facebook will not send me ads via text messages to my cellular telephone. Speaking of which, this is really funny:

Equilibrium.
 

March 2, 2006 5:00AM CST

It is college basketball season and Facebook is proud to bring you their super exciting new 'Men's Basketball Tourney' where you are invited to 'Join the Madness' What is this, a casino? Get this stupid shit off of everyone's Facebook no one cares. Look at this crap

What self-respecting person would play Facebook fantasy basketball on their phone? That's right.. nobody on earth. Just some more stupid advertisement scheme brought to you by the fine folks at Facebook. The site is dying, people.

February 24, 2006 6:30PM CST

Facebook sucks.
The 'Golden Era' of Facebook is over. The ability to browse through anyone at your school is no longer an option, as a good portion of Facebookers opt to shield their profiles from anyone that is not their friend. What is the point of having a Facebook in the first place? Those who set their Privacy controls to block everybody except their friends shouldn't even be on the internet. Are you worried your boss will see your stupid weekend activities? Afraid of a little cyber-stalking? Get the fuck off the internet bitch. Plus Facebook is crawling with ads. They like to make you think you are having fun and feeling unique by tricking you into buying icons they pretend are 'Gifts' . Give me a break. As if leaving a message on someone's wall isn't good enough.. now it costs a dollar to seal the deal with your romantic interest. Facebook is a joke. Oh I really like how the other day I logged in and it was asking me for my e-mail login and password, so that they could get my address book and possibly get me more friends. I was reassured they would not store my password information. HAHAHA are you kidding me? My guess is there is some trickster sitting in the back of the Palo Alto headquarters jerking off to dumb sorority girls' emails. Who even goes to Facebook anymore? People like this:

Look how old that guy looks. What is he doing on a child's website? OK enough of that. Bye for now!

February 8, 2006 4:30AM CST

Hi Super Facebook friends. Well, the times here at the Super Facebook International Headquarters and Golf Resort have been really somber lately. I have gotten back on Facebook, but I'm pretty unmotivated now. Writing silly notes and uploading loads of pictures just hasn't been the same lately. Perhaps it is the fact that I know that the fuckers at Facebook have security pretty tight on preventing XSS loopholes, which means Super Facebook will be dead forever. I'm thinking about hanging the site up, so expect a going away video soon with a special appearance and testimonial by your friend Chase Lanier. Until my next update, stay in school and dont use drugs.

January 20, 2006 6:50AM CST

Hello again. It is late and I am very tired. But before retiring for the evening, I thought I would mess around looking for sneaky shit on Facebook. In my last update, I pointed out that Facebook allowed the <BIG> tag to be used in their notes. I questioned myself whether Facebook had restricted specific HTML (e.g. <SCRIPT>, <EMBED>, etc) OR whether they restricted every bit of HTML and then were selective in acceptable HTML. Either way, I went through every HTML tag I could find, pasted it in a new note, and observed that Facebook allowed external images <IMG> to be used. When you call an external image via HTML, Facebook adds a line into the <IMG> tag that resizes it to fit within the margins. So, this isn't really any secret--Facebook's allows of external images to be used. Okay. But their allowing of external images raises some flags. I am often asked via e-mail HoW dO I sEE WhO LoKS at My PROFEIL ?? -- By hosting an image on a remote server, with a statistics tracker, a user would easily be able to see the IP of every user that visits his or her Note, once they have placed an image into their Note. Facebook, I assume, is aware of this, because they have taken the extra mile to prevent images from loading in the note-preview slot in the mini-feed--which would certainly allow for this 'exploit' of figuring out who is looking at your profile.

The other weird thing about the <IMG> being acceptable in Notes is that Facebook didn't prevent the calling of PHP files within the IMG tag. I haven't played around with any of this much.. but there may be some possibilities of exploiting the <IMG> tag. Facebook goes the extra mile in preventing simple PHP exploit attacks by requiring users to be greeted with a confirmation page if you choose to do just about any action--poke a friend, add a friend, etc. The only PHP command that is left open without confirmation is the logout link, which does have a pseudorandom key assigned to it (I haven't really investigated the limitations of that key), but from playing around a bit, if you insert the following HTML anywhere into a Facebook note

<IMG SRC="http://www.facebook.com/logout.php?h=c7af8a47d5c9af701068765473c4bac2">

and then hit Publish, anyone that views that note will be logged out of Facebook. Which may give an impression to the logged out user that their account password has been compromised (If you are using Facebook and you are randomly prompted for your Password, it is almost certainly because someone else has logged onto your account from a remote location). I realize this 'trick' is pretty much pointless, and is nothing more than a stupid novelty. But, this flaw may have further potential.. I just don't know yet. If you try and add that line of HTML to a note of yours, and then view the note, you will be logged out, so if you want to correct this problem, when you go to your Notes page to create a note, the first thing you should do is hit Delete on the note that has the script. You will be logged out, log back in, and you're safe. P.S. try any of this and you'll probably be banned. More later!

January 14, 2006 4:00AM CST

Hi friends. Well, I guess I'm technically still Facebookless.. I have been keeping tabs on my friends profiles via highschool Facebook, but I'm still unable to get another LSU e-mail. I'm in talks with someone who might be able to hook me up with a spare, so I'm eager to get that shit going. But anyway, business has been a little slow at the Super Facebook International Resort and Cantina. To liven things up, I thought I might share with you a few choice comments I've received via the comment box on this page. I get sent plenty of simple 'hey' and 'cool stuff DuD3!' comments, but I also get sent a lot of funny shit. Here are some of my favorites:

Sorry Rita, but you're going to have to poke him first :-* . Oh also, might be old news I don't know, but the <BIG> tag works on Facebook notes. So go have fun playing with that. e.g. <BIG><BIG><BIG>WOW</BIG></BIG></BIG> will look like:
 WOW
Wow indeed. Ok I'll be back soon. Wish me luck.

That's right, Facebook has decided once again that I am no longer welcome on their service. I also see they have a new and improved e-mail address for disabled users: disabled@facebook.com. That is quite fancy I must say. Also interesting is that they ban users at roughly the same time every day, like 8:00 PM CST. Weird. Even more interesting: if you log onto Facebook with a disabled  user's account (using the banned person's e-mail, e.g. nicknacknine@ivonline.co.uk) .. It will display the "Your account has been disabled" message.. Even if you provide the wrong password! Potential privacy concern issue? Who knows. At any rate, it was another fine month on Facebook. Obviously I will be back on Facebook within a few days with more fun notes and silly pictures for you to enjoy. I would like to thank all of the fine supporters that added me during the past month. I am not sure if I will be as bold as to put up my URL this time, but who knows. At least that confirms that someone at Facebook is watching this awesome page. I'll be back in a few.
Oh yeah.

January 5, 2006 5:00PM CST
Hi friends. Happy new year! I guess it is a little late for that, but oh well. I would like to point out that the incompetent staff at Facebook have allowed me to linger on their worthless little service again for one month now. That's right.. it is my one-month anniversary back on Facebook. And it has never been so boring. However, I have received several kind messages from complete strangers regarding Super Facebook and have even received a couple of tidbits of information regarding Facebook that I found interesting. For instance:

Did you know that Facebook declares Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict on their web pages.. when in fact, they are LYING?! A noble Super Facebook follower pointed this out to me in an e-mail and I checked it for myself.. He was correct. You will find their declaration at the top of every one of their pages (that I am aware of):

Yeah you have valid XHTML, eh?
Let's see what the suckers at the W3C have to say about it:

Oh wow how is that for integrity? Thanks to Zach Cooperstein for pointing this out; I appreciate the tip! More fun stuff later, I need to attend an important business meeting at the Super Facebook Intl Tower. If anyone finds any other deviant doings behind the scenes at Facebook, drop me a line at nicknacknine@ivonline.co.uk. Thanks! Bye for now, and here's to another month on Facebook.
 

December 22, 2006 7:30AM CST
Well well.. I am pleased to inform you that I am still on Facebook. Almost a whole month, wow. I wonder if my account will make it to 2007? I sincerely apologize to my loyal Facebook friends that have added me for not writing as many Notes as I usually do.. I think I was busy with school or something. But, I thought I and all of us here at the Super Facebook International Headquarters and Spa would drop back in here to wish all of the newcomers to this page a Merry Christmas. That reminds me, yesterday morning I log onto Facebook to read my boy Clay's hilarious stories and I'm greeted with this SPAM in my news feed:

Now, if you ignore the fact that the bitch's eyes are wandering in two different directions, you will notice a poorly crafted Holiday Center button just waiting for you to click. Ok, so I clicked it, you know, thinking there might be a secret treasure awaiting me. But lo and behold look at all this bullshit cluttered everywhere:   

Wow way to sell out big time. I am pretty sure Super Facebook would have stayed ad-free:( But nonetheless, I am pretty sure I am going to spend my Christmas morning in the Facebook Holiday Center. Ok bye for now! #WOP

I wonder if the people from Facebook check this page? Here's a test.. That is my new account. I'm back on the Facebook. So what are you going to do about it, Mark? That's right, nothing.

Well, I think I may have a potential e-mail loaner. I hope to be back on in a couple of days. Unfortunately, I guess it won't really be the same because the process of starting over always sucks. I'm tempted to break down and beg Facebook to let me back on my original name.. that would be pretty great. In other news, I recently stumbled across some bullshit Facebook was offering that seemed pretty shady if you ask me..

Behold Facebook's Browser Toolbar:


Ok when I see this thing first off I think to myself what a shameless plug by Julie Zhuo. Second, this looks like serious spyware. Lastly, I think Facebook is a little late in the game offering shady browser helper objects. These things were pretty tasty a couple years ago when spyware companies were in pumping them out full force making your browsing experience a complete nightmare, but now everyone knows you can't trust a piece of shit like this lingering around in your browser. Facebook went the wrong route, I think. I would have prefered something like this:



You see, BonziBUDDY will let you know when you've just been fucked by malicious hackers looking to de-friend your friends and poke your enemies. He could even write your notes for you. Plus he's purple which will allow for a seamless transition when Yahoo! overthrows the site and changes everything around. Speaking of which, Mark really screwed up this time. Turned down a Billion dollars, eh? Your site is going downhill so damn fast and no one wants to buy you any more that I think you should accept my offer that I made to your company last week via telephone where Super Facebook International made an offer to obtain Facebook for the sum of One ($1US) Dollar. It would be well worth it and a wise investment, I think. I am sure everyone is deleting their accounts right now as we speak and looking for more lush, premium sites (aka Super Facebook). You fail and you're all a bunch of jerks for not replying to my e-mails. Ok back soon with more important updates and a brand new Video for YOU!

Happy Thanksgiving from your Friends at Super Facebook International Headquarters and Tower. We hope that you are having a warm and peaceful time with your family. OK LOOK IM DESPERATE HERE.. I cannot take it being off Facebook any longer. I am so deprived from writing notes and uploading silly pix to my friends via Facebook that my life has turned to complete mush. I mean, I know anyone can register for Facebook w/o having a school account..so why don't I just get some generic account? Because I want a college account dammit! I want to be able to browse through friends without having to add them first. Boy, Facebook sure sucks. And..I never got any explanation as to why 'clap m' was banned, that is still a mystery to me. But yeah, I would like to get back on Facebook ASAP. So, I'll give you an e-hug if you give me your LSU e-mail login. K?

Banned again! I am uncertain how the Facebook security team tracked down the account of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen this time... but they disabled the account tonight, along with my friend's account 'clap m' -- who was completely free of any violations of Facebook's Terms of Service! It is likely that Facebook was suspect that 'clap m' was also me, so that might explain their reasoning. Hopefully an e-mail will answer some questions.
 

The fun-filled adventures of Super Facebook!
(screw this dumb intro, skip to the good stuff)

It all started in early Spring of 2005 when I joined the then-wonderful community known as thefacebook.com. I was a little reluctant to join at first, as I didn't want to think of myself as a MySpace whore. Many of my friends joined, so I went ahead and registered. Oh how incredibly fun it was to browse through all my friends' profiles, as well as the profiles of people I didn't know. Privacy options were limited at the time, so if you were on Facebook, everybody could see your profile. It was a stalkers paradise, and I was instantly hooked. I liked the clean, uniformity of the profiles--unlike MySpace, whose layout is absolutely terrible and gives the user far too many customization options (especially when the user manages to trash their page completely by activating the dreaded horizontal scrolling bar--as profile widths sometimes exceed 3000px!!). My first account on Facebook, where I gave myself the name Lady Elaine Fairchild, was basically just a gimmick account. I decided to legitimize my account and switched to my real name a few months later, as I decided I would try and get in touch with some old classmates that went to different colleges and wanted them to know who I was when I sent them a friend request. All was fine and dandy at this point. My only hostile thought towards Facebook at this point was that I knew the site wouldn't stay how it was forever, and it was only inevitable before the site offered features that would make the site resemble a blog (a prediction that was correct). But at any rate, I took advantage of the few features it had, and liked every last minute of it.

I ventured into the world of Facebook Groups a few months later, more importantly, the sponsored Facebook group 'Apple Students' , mainly to troll. I don't own an Apple, and [mostly] everyone that frequented that group in its primitive stages were elitist assholes, so it was a lot of fun to bug the hell out of them. I actually gained a few fans in the group, and was often complimented for making noteworthy posts.
 

I changed my profile picture almost daily, and I stumbled across a little trick that I had seen another user do a few months prior--the possibility of uploading an animated GIF. By default, Facebook would not let you upload an animated profile picture; yet if you uploaded an animated GIF at 50x50 pix, their software would not recompile the GIF and its animation would be visible in group posts. I did this little trick and made a few choice posts in the Apple group, and about 2 days later Facebook patched the animated GIF bug. I was almost 100% certain I had to have been the reason for this fix--they let it go for so long and the moment I post in a sponsored group (meaning it was most likely moderated by some sort of Facebook personnel) they patched it up, so I just figured they probably saw their glitch next to my name. I kept up the Apple harassment for a while, but eventually my luck ran out, and I when I tried to log in one morning I was greeted with this:

Oh no! How could this be? What about all my photo albums? My friends? I was pretty pissed. I sent a quick little e-mail to info@facebook.com to get some answers, so I'm like, Hello I am seeking some answers as to why my account was disabled. Thanks! :) :). and 'Kate' a Facebook Customer Service Representative responds:

>>Hi,
>>Your account will remain disabled.  This decision is final.

Whoa, harsh, Kate. I simultaneously got an e-mail from 'Rebecca' further explaining their reasoning:

>>Hi,

>>Your account was disabled for being warned about
>>creating an improper group and then writing agressive and
>>hateful posts on sponsored message boards directed at
>>another member.  This is a violation of Facebook's Terms
>>of Service and for this reason your account has been
>>permanently disabled.

Which reminds me, during this time, there was a little 'racial tension' at my school, in which some students were upset with the Confederate Flag being waved on our campus in our school colors. I trolled some groups and made a few, one of which was called, something like, 'Anal bukkake confederate flag porno.mpeg xxx' --- the profile picture was that of a cheeseburger and a seriously abused white woman in front of a confederate flag. There were no problems with the group, and it even had a member or three. But ONE DAY I changed my profile picture to La Chat, a black female gangsta rapper holding two Glocks. I was banned the next day I used that profile picture. I guess someone was offended enough to report the group it looked like some sort of weird racial issue, and fine, ok, whatever. I have another e-mail from my school anyway, back on Facebook I go! This time I'll just stay away from the 'Apple Students' group, and no more group-making, I thought. I kept my cool for a while, still uploading hoards of pictures into my Photo albums, and making up completely asinine profile information rather than keeping it legitimate. I ran into my next little burst of trouble when I came across a group named "I hate Jesus" . The group was started by a student at my University named Erik Brown. The group made national attention when deemed it inappropriate, resulting in the group being removed. The New York Times U-newswire picked up the story. I thought I'd just piggyback on Erik's remaining fifteen minutes of fame when he made a subsequent group, "I dislike Jesus" , so I popped on in and left the message:

Now is the time to stand up against the tyranny of Facebook! Go to http://www.ohi-ahi.com to find out more information.

That website, in reality, is a porn site.. slightly resembling child-porn, but it is not actually. It was a clever trick, I thought. I only recently found out that a member on Facebook, a truth-about-9-11 "enthusiast" named 'TiGaHsOnThAbAyOu' made a post on a different internet forum expressing his dissatisfaction with my little trick.  He reported me to Facebook, of course. I didn't know it at the time, but this was strike #1 against me on this new Facebook account.

On September 2, 2005, Facebook introduced a separate sect of Facebook for high-school students. At the time, all you needed to sign up for the HS version was to know someone that was in college that graduated from your high-school. I sent an invite to myself at my college e-mail and got onto the HS version of Facebook--which was nearly empty. I used the account only as a gimmick, with the name of my old principal, and didn't do much with it. A short time later, Facebook allowed anyone to register for HS Facebook if they knew someone already on HS Facebook from that school (not an alumni, like previously) . I signed up a couple of new accounts, including 'Kevin Whiskers' .. which would be used later to assist me in the creation of Super Facebook.

I was getting more and more deviant on the site, since there really wasn't anything fun to do on it at all. Stalking was getting boring, and I thought I'd spend a day or two messing around trying to mess around with some stuff. I noticed there was one kid on Facebook, some comedian or something like that, who accumulated over 150,000 friends. Facebook had just recently allowed users to 'tag' other users in photo albums, and the person's name would say they have X number of other photos. The most I had seen of anyone else at my school was something like a thousand, so I thought I would try and beat that by a hundred fold. I downloaded a macro program and recorded my motion of uploading some very small GIF files to their server. Adding 60 at a time, tagging each to my name. I let it run for a few days, and eventually, I got an error message saying that my memory had run out allotted to my name, which was 50 MB. I was kind of ticked, because I only reached 18,683 pictures, far less than the 100,000 I hoped for. I was big into YTMND.com (and still am) and decided to make a little epic story of this recent finding. But this time, Ill say it was because I was trying to disprove Facebook's claim of offering 'unlimited photos' .. so I called it "Facebook LIES" . I didn't care at all about their stretch of the truth, I just wanted to make a funny animation describing it. The YTMND did well, and like any unrespectable internet warrior, I added my findings to Wikipedia. The site got and continues to get thousands of hits. I found one page on the internet of some guy who was really ticked off from my YTMND, calling me 'irate' . I guess some people have no sense of adventure!

Well, I managed to get away with having (View more Photos of John: 18683) on my profile for a while. I guess they weren't aware of my running a macro script, however they claim to be a lot more proficient with detecting automation now. I am certain that their main reason for concern is spammers and identity theft; people running scripts that may gather people's names and possibly e-mail addresses from the site.. which actually is illegal I think, but I am not sure. I wasn't doing any of that, but if they were to catch me running automation, I guess they would just assume that is what I was doing.

The birth of Super Facebook

The video below, which is one of many exciting Super Facebook testimonials presented by that Clean Cut Kid Chase Lanier, describes the evening of April 18, to some extent, in which Super Facebook was brought to life, along with a generous helping of very dramatic commentary. Since he does a terrific job of summing up the evening, I'll just transcribe the video below and offer additional information in box quotes. But first, a little forward as to why this video, and a few others like it, exist. Once Super Facebook was made, I made a how-to page describing the process of how I did it and how anyone could do something like it also, and, like any internet troll would do, I Dugg my own findings and documented the hack on Wikipedia. But unfortunately, only a few days later, the real Facebook patched the flaw allowing my Super Facebook to 'work', so my write-up/how-to page was rather useless. Moreover, they banned me and my friend Chase along with two other girls that sometimes went to Super Facebook .. which was very bizarre, as they had done absolutely nothing wrong. Even though my write-up for Super Facebook was now technically useless to the average person, it continued to spread around and received hits. I didn't want to take down the page, so every so often Chase and I would make videos making a big spectacle of the event and Super Facebook, because hey, you gotta represent.  A translation of the video is in the table below, along with some additional information (which will appear in pink boxes) that was included in the old write-up page AND some previously undisclosed information.

***END OF TRANSCRIPT***
 

Even though Chase was back on, I am still banned at this point. There was no way I was going to e-mail Facebook asking to get back on, because it was obvious that I had been running a 'bot' (but for the uploading of those 50mb of GIFs--even if it wasn't for phishing) and I figured it would be worthless. Chase and the two other girls were able to get back on, they received the same e-mail talking about automated bots, etc. Which is just so peculiar, because that seems like a really default response. Kevin Whiskers, my HS Facebook alt, was not banned at all. This raised some flags that perhaps they were not checking for IP .. ?? There was obviously some other 'intelligent' form of tracing system in place.

Before everyone got banned, the Super Facebook 'hack' worked for about four days. I was live on Facebook at the time when it stopped working, and Facebook patched the flaw by 100% redoing the input fields on the [edit profile] pages. The form fields no longer tolerated the submission of HTML except for <BLOCKQUOTE> and <BR> . . and that was it. All of the HTML that was used to run Super Facebook suddenly became exposed on my profile, with no warning. A day later, I was banned. But I was still pretty excited about the whole ordeal, though. I thought it was so weird that no one (that I knew of) had done something like this before. At least that's what I thought before I googled a few searches on any previous attempts to 'hack facebook' . There appeared to have been two previous cases. In one case was a college guy who implemented a code to change up the CSS. You can find that guy's findings on his page: Facelifting the Facebook. The other case was a rather elaborate JavaScript injection that transformed the viewer's profile into a profile that looked like MySpace. Now, this is where it gets kind-of interesting: His friend, Chris Putnam, who wrote a 'worm' and used it on Facebook posted a news blip on his blog that 'Oh. I work for Facebook now' -- on the same night that they fixed the form fields on the site. So surely it was him that redesigned the method of profile editing. A couple of days later, I got that little pink box saying I had been banned.

At this point, I had run out of spare e-mail addresses for getting back onto the LSU Facebook Network. I borrowed a friend's spare e-mail but she had once tried to make an alternate account and had used her name already--which they would not let me change to anything else. I was kind of stuck, so I just lurked on Facebook via a group shared account, as well as on HS Facebook. Later in the summer, I managed to finally get an alt. account, where I called myself 'Fanfare the Fair' and befriended all of my old friends again and explained the situation. A few months later, Facebook introduced the beloved, stalkerrific News Feeds service, and I hopped onto Kevin Whiskers and dropped as much spam onto that message board as it would let me before it temporarily disabled my allowing to send messages. At a later date, the account I had named after my principal was banned after I joined a group, made a few choice comments, and I suppose someone reported me. But, Kevin Whiskers was still active.

I kept up the Fanfare the Fair account for a pretty long time. I broke very few rules and frequently wrote all sorts of silly notes that I'm sure my friends enjoyed. Other than importing RSS from the GNAA, I doubt there was anything totally outrageous about the account, other than the fact it was registered to someone who had been previously banned. I changed the name of the account from Fanfare the Fair to my real name one night, and they let it through. About a month later, I was suddenly banned again. This time, I can't really think of any key reasons for their banning me for reasons other than having duplicate accounts, other than perhaps a certain individual might have reported me for a note or two. I quickly made a Super Facebook testimonial documenting the tragic event:

I also e-mailed info@facebook.com just for the hell of it:

John,

Your account has been disabled indefinitely for automating against our
website.  This is a violation of our Terms of Use and something we take
very seriously.  I'm sorry, but you will not be able to use Facebook
again.  Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Hmm. 'This decision is final.' This time in a navy blue font.. That sounds familiar. At any rate, I was sad to see my latest account go, but I just popped back on HS Facebook a couple of days later and got a new account as "Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen" . I didn't do anything weird or out of the ordinary. I was up late Wednesday morning looking around online and got on Facebook to find that they had added some dumb little 'mixer' feature as a pitiful attempt to reconcile with their users over the age old Mini-Feeds controversy crap. I thought while it looked pretty slick, it seemed pretty freaking odd and out of place and nothing like the rest of the site and therefore it was doomed to fail. So I spent about 30 minutes making a video for YouTube disguised as an exciting new browser feature that would allow you to control your EQ with those little sliders:

I kind of was bored. Can't you tell? The video made my friends laugh, and that was that. At 8pm that night, they banned me again! This time it was extra weird, because I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, they didn't ban my IP, they didn't ban my other alts, and they actually went through my friends and found a user, 'clap m' , that seemed to share a similar note-writing style (posting silly pictures, dumb stories, etc), and banned him as well.

So, I get my friend Chase to prepare a deluxe e-mail that I am going to send to Facebook this time, demanding some answers. I send this to FB customer service:

______________

Dear Facebook,

Once again its your boy John Romero IV, AKA Wilhem, writing to you from SuperFacebook International Headquarters. I was curious as to why I was recently kicked off of Facebook. As we both know, I have been kicked off Facebook many different times, and I would like a solid explanation in regards to why rather than the typical "Use of automation in your Facebook profile" excuse. I'm pretty sure that I haven't done anything wrong other than having an account under a false name, and if you have checked Facebook recently there are what seems to be thousands of accounts under fake names. Is this because you still hold a grudge over my SuperFacebook hack? If so, please just get over it. Hopefully we can resolve this matter soon.

-John Romero IV

p.s, I have like 10 other Facebooks acounts. ;-)

Hey Wilhelm,

Having multiple accounts on Facebook is a violation of our Terms of Use. Under no circumstances will we reactivate this account. We apologize for the inconvenience. \

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

Surely he is taunting me here! Did he not read my e-mail? Is he strictly being professional? Either way, I wish I could have gotten a better response. I guess I am stuck right now pretty much, oh well. I'll figure it out eventually!
