Liquid Interactive or Mark Blass has Nothing Better to do at Work
Well coming off the happy feelings I was feeling yesterday, the people at Liquid Interactive have proven yet again to have nothing better to do, along with being a bunch of cowards. Sigh, I still luv you though, but just like you must discipline a child so must I give a strong talking to the boys at Liquid Interactive.
Monday, June 24, 2008 must have been a very slow day for guys. How slow was it? Slow enough that you had to come to our website just to check it out, but there was a surprise waiting for you: an automatic, random, server side redirect to one of a few websites. Now surely like someone with a curious mind you might have wondered was it just me, is it other people too, let’s do a few tests. And test you did, which I hug you for doing, one must exercise one’s mind to remain sharp, however when you kept coming back after realizing that you can’t get in, I am only concerned for your company. Simply, how well can Liquid Interactive be doing when you can just devote your morning to checking out a single website?
The Post Big Number: 137
137 attempts to view the Advance Website website from a Liquid Interactive / Imirage / Mogistic IP address.
The Post Big Number: 3
Three hours, from 10:43 a.m. to 1:48 p.m. you repeatedly came back to our website hoping to get in. Three hours wasted. What could you have thought was possibly so important on our tiny website that you had to keep trying to get to it? Well I know that during those three hours we laughed our asses off and ate a great lunch at Applebee’s.
Now we come to why I wrote this
Why would anyone… anyone, just post a link to a piece of software that masks IPs if it wasn’t one of you guys at Liquid Interactive? Why? … They wouldn’t, they just wouldn’t, never mind the timing of the comment. So once again you want to play games and pass yourselves off as clever. But how clever are you really?
Let’s assume that after Monday’s failed attempt to access our website you spent the night or Tuesday morning researching how to mask your IP (I don’t want to assume that you wasted the rest of Monday on this). We can assume that because we stopped getting emails around 2 p.m. Monday and only got three emails Tuesday, one at 12:12 p.m. and then two at 3:50 and 3:51 p.m. (How did you like first redirect? I didn’t look at it but I’m laughing right now). So either you spent your night figuring out your game plan and tested it all morning at work or you looked into at work and your first tests were around noon.
Fair? Fair.
So let’s address the real juicy part of this tale besides the wasted work and/or personal time you spent in these last two days. You download a piece of software; maybe even pay money for it just to look at our website? What’s the matter with you?
The software only has a three day trial, what then? A normal person would have let it go after a couple of redirects yesterday so I’m only going to offer that you just stop visiting our website in jest only. After three days, assuming you didn’t already purchase a copy, do you plan to buy it?
I mean what exactly do you think you’ll find on our website? Treasure, delicious food … hugs? I mean I could understand if we had a countdown timer that was keeping track of time until we launched a big surprise and you kept checking back to see if there were any updates… but we’re not doing that.
Of course you could just have gotten a warez copy, but that makes software developers cry and they won’t give you any hugs.
I only wonder what your clients must think of that, knowing that the Liquid Interactive team has nothing better to do then to look at, or try to look at our website; and when they can’t, they spend their time figuring out how to get around it. You see if you didn’t have to try to prove how “unclever” you were, we wouldn’t even know. Again you poke the bear, and the bear hasn’t been hugged in a really long time.
If you’re going to post a comment at least have the balls to use your real email. Yes Mark Blass I’m talking to you.
While the evidence may not be as strong as other evidence I have presented, I believe that with the facts I have, that you can be named. (Now if someone posts that it was them all along I don’t know if I would believe you, you two could just be playing a game).

You took your pictures of Liquid Interactive off of Picasa, or just turned them to private if such an option exists, it was the first thing to happen.

This is from the first email, the information gathered from the redirect:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14 User Host Address: 69.7.239.222 User Host Name: 69.7.239.222It matches the Mark Blass, mblass@gmail.com comment at the sgfvc.com guestbook, which came from gateway.imirage.com, or if you ping that address, 69.7.239.222. But if you look to the left you can see a little Firefox logo and in the alt attribute of the image you get:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14Is it just coincidence that the first email has the same information as the poster on that guestbook? It’s possible, after all it really only gives information about the system and browser but if I was a betting man I’d bet on it that it was Mark Blass who has nothing better to do with his time.
It may not be Mark Blass, but I think it is, judge for yourself if you know the man. How far is he ready to take things. Anyone remember how much time he spent doing a background check on Paul?
Use your real email address when commenting, unless you’re trying to be funny or get information, neither time you have been.
Also to anyone thinking hey your just wasting your time with this stuff and you’re just as bad as they are
you may have a point but I enjoy doing this. Well I enjoy writing, not necessarily about this stuff. I told myself that it was over, but I guess not. I had fun writing this, going on record and who knows maybe they also have fun with this. If so I’m glad, having fun is what life is all about. That and hugs.
