Manic Radio Overreaction

[rbcp]

I was going to post the chatlog I had with Manic Radio's owner in the Phone Show thread, but this whole topic needs its own thread so here it is....

On November 9th, 2009 The Phone Show moved to a brand new internet station called Manic Radio.  It looked like it was going to work out really well until it quickly became apparent that the Manic Radio chatroom mods were unable to cope with the PLA's special brand of love.  Kidding around seemed to be strictly forbidden in the chat room and one of the mods even got pissed that RBCP made fun of Manic Radio's web site on the air, saying it looked like it was from the 90's.

Things quickly got out of hand in the chat room and one caller on the show even went on the air to make fun of the mods on the show.  The owner of Manic was woken up and told to come to the chat room ASAP to witness the pandemonium. (Jenn archived most of the chat log here.) It was the funnest show ever and it probably brought Manic Radio more listeners than they'd ever had at once.  But they weren't amused.  Two days later, I received this offline message from JC Violence:

(4:07:47 PM) jcviolence hey brad just got out of a meeting and wanted to let you know we no longer need your services at manic radio we appreciate your interest but we are moving on thanks.
(4:08:24 PM) jcviolence if you want to discuss this further you can talk to mrlondon

I haven't seen JC on Yahoo since that day, so I'm assuming that he actually took me off his friends list and put me on ignore so he wouldn't have to talk to me about any of this.  I don't even know who Mr. London is.  So that's the end of our relationship with Manic Radio and the beginning of PLA's very own 24/7 internet stream.

Here's my chat log with JC, the Manic Radio station owner from immediately after The Phone Show.

(10:15:35 PM) brad_the_carter hey JC. can i go offline now and return it back to your auto DJ since nobody is on after me? or would you prefer I do my whole 2 hours?

(10:27:25 PM) brad_the_carter to you?
(10:28:26 PM) brad_the_carter well i can stop telling people to go to the chat room during my show. i don't know how else to control it
(10:28:38 PM) brad_the_carter i don't know most of these people personally. they're just listeners
(10:28:47 PM) brad_the_carter guess i just attract assholes
(10:29:57 PM) jcviolence but they can't be insulting people and your callers cant be insulting people on the air
(10:29:39 PM) jcviolence well... they can hang out man
(10:30:06 PM) jcviolence like the admins were insulted
(10:30:18 PM) jcviolence i mean any radio station will tell you that
(10:30:54 PM) brad_the_carter yep true
(10:31:19 PM) brad_the_carter we didn't have a chat room like this on the old station so i didn't really anticipate all this
(10:32:30 PM) jcviolence yeah i understand that
(10:33:28 PM) jcviolence now the are tryin to hack into the site?
(10:33:41 PM) brad_the_carter who's trying to hack into the site?
(10:34:18 PM) brad_the_carter oh i see.
(10:34:27 PM) brad_the_carter they're full of shit. they don't know how to hack
(10:34:27 PM) jcviolence rucas is talking about breakin the chat
(10:34:33 PM) jcviolence and reldnah
(10:34:51 PM) jcviolence yeah they would be very lucky if t hey can get by our security
(10:34:54 PM) brad_the_carter he's just typing gibberish it looks like
(10:35:10 PM) jcviolence seems so ...
(10:35:23 PM) brad_the_carter no one has any intention of hacking anything. they're just typing *&(&&%^%$%$#%$@$#@#%$#$^
(10:35:32 PM) brad_the_carter that's not a threat by any means
(10:36:10 PM) brad_the_carter so what do you think? is this not going to work out with me?
(10:36:27 PM) brad_the_carter cause if not, it's no hard feelings or anything. i can quit if you'd prefer
(10:36:59 PM) jcviolence well im not gonna base it on one show
(10:37:19 PM) jcviolence all i ask is that the people you have on your show respect the rules i understand you cant do much about chat
(10:37:28 PM) jcviolence thats where the admins come in
(10:37:32 PM) brad_the_carter yep
(10:37:39 PM) jcviolence but you are responsible for what is said on your show
(10:38:40 PM) jcviolence so no im not gonna fire you or ask you to quit ... i just hope your next show people dont abuse other people on air like that
(10:39:05 PM) brad_the_carter okay, i'll see what i can do with everything
(10:39:28 PM) jcviolence thanks man i'm not tryin to be a dick but you know how it is
(10:39:47 PM) brad_the_carter my problem is that i can't say on the air "okay everyone, no more making fun of the chat admins or anyone else" because that'll be like a challenge to them
(10:39:54 PM) brad_the_carter yeah i know. i don't think you're being a dick at all
(10:40:52 PM) jcviolence well we will see what happens next week
(10:41:06 PM) brad_the_carter okay. i'm gonna go hang out with my company
(10:41:14 PM) brad_the_carter i'll chat with you later
(10:41:24 PM) jcviolence i think the shows good i just didnt like the fact that people think they can just tell us to fuck off and thats okay they know its not okay
(10:41:31 PM) jcviolence ok man

My favorite line is "yeah they would be very lucky if t hey can get by our security."  A challenge!  Somehow I doubt these people are masters of security.

There's only one answer to all this...

...chat room mob!@#$%^&*

Maybe tomorrow night since I'm sure there are a few of you who actual lives and will be out IRL on this Saturday night...

 

Man, I was almost able to type that with a straight face. So close...

Hey maybe for next week's Phone Show, I can encourage everyone to converge in the Manic Radio chat room and hang out as if we're still on their station.  There might not be any mods there, though, since there are no shows on at that time anymore.

I still think that we should also phone mob one of Manic Radio's shows while we're at it.

Do they have call in shows? If not, we should chat room mob them during someone else's show.

maybe they should fix the sql injection vulnerabilities in their site

You'd be very lucky if you could get by their security.

On their DJ application and song request pages, they warn you that your IP will be logged. But they do this by placing your IP in a hidden field, which can be changed in any number of ways, and submitting it along with the form. So basically you can make your IP whatever you feel like. Someone should send in a bunch of offensive requests using the IP of their ShoutCast server or 127.0.0.1 or CACTUS or something.

Even though I don't really listen to the phone show like ever(I just wait for the pranks to be posted on .org) I think it was for the better you got kicked out of that place. They are pretty embarrassing, a gay green sonic as a mascot... yea that's cool...

so cheers
also maybe we should plan a mob on irc or something, I have a feeling those MaNCIc RaDDiO@#@#! goons might be reading this.

It made me wonder if it was run by Chris-Chan

[legend813]

Manic radio is popular in CWCville

I'd wondered the same thing actually.
