A new Germanic history site
#2
Thanks for the notice about this site Jenny. It's good to see that Ansuzharjaz has put a lot of time and research into it and it's even better to see he's using a fine Proto-Germanic name as well (it means "Army of the Gods").<br>
<br>
On the less positive side, the site seems to be a gateway for the much reviled [url=http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,57553,00.html" target="top]Xupiter[/url] parasite, which decides to install itself on your computer whether you want it to or not, and does things like add the Xupiter search bar to your browser, sets the Xupiter portal as your homepage (no matter how many times you change it back) and can also take it upon itself to download casino software or add porn links to your bookmarks.<br>
<br>
I've got some pretty good spyware and security software on my PC and I've been infested by this vile thing before, but it still managed to duck under my defences and infest my browser. I'm contacting Ansuzharjaz tonight to discuss a few things, so I'll see if he's aware that his site seems to be spreading the Xupiter blight. [url=http://allentech.net/parasite/Xupiter.html" target="top]Alltechnet[/url] gives instructions on how to remove all the various bits of Xupiter from the entrails of your system if it gets a foothold. If a screaming mob ever drags the idiots who created this thing from their boltholes I'll be happy to help crucify them.<br>
<br>
If people are interested in other sites on the early Germanic peoples there is the [url=http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Germanic-L/" target="top]Germanic-L[/url] discussion group and the [url=http://www.ancientworlds.net/aw/City/23413" target="top]Germania[/url] section of the [url=http://www.ancientworlds.net/" target="top]Ancient Worlds[/url] Community. Some of the people at Germanic-L are also working on a project to reconstruct the Proto-Germanic language which will eventually have it's own site and discussion forum called [url=http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Salon/2385/Theuthiskon.html" target="top]*Þeuðiskôn[/url] (though this site is only a prototype). <p>Tim O'Neill / Thiudareiks Flavius<br>
