I’m still getting hammered as though hackers think breaking into this site is going to help them hack the light company that used the same name. I haven’t spoken to them, I don’t know how they got their name, or why they’d choose not to reach out to me if they wanted this one. But I registered SpiderFarmer as a domain in 1995, and as a corporation in Delaware not long after.
Multiple people have suggested that I should put affiliate links on this site that lead to that one, since I’m already answering support questions (by directing them to the other company), but I’m not about to do that until I can find time to talk to my intellectual property attorney.
So, if you are looking for the lights company: they have a hyphen: https://www.spider-farmer.com/.
If you are looking for all the content that used used to be here, well…thank the hackers who took it all down, and my hosting company who apparently did not keep the backups I’ve been paying for for almost 30 years. So, that’s fun.
Hackers: This is just a sandboxed wordpress. There is nothing here for you. There is no access to other systems, networks or databases. Even if you did get in, you cannot root or bot this install. It’s literally a sandbox on a virtual. Listen, wouldn’t you rather go hack some billionaires and distribute all the money to NGOs or something?

Still not selling anything
Growlights shine bright,
SpiderFarmers wear black,
I’m still not those folks.
Dear Hackers,
Why? Why on earth are you wasting time trying to brute force into a website that has nothing on it? It just seems silly. Listen, go hack Jeff Bezos and distribute the money around the globe. Play Robin Hood with all the billionaires you can find. You have my blessing. But seriously man, there’s nothing here. Even if you hack this WP front, it’s sandboxed, you can’t get to anything else, even if there was anything else to get to. The site got hacked last year, and I haven’t bothered to put anything back up except a notice that I’m not the grow lights company. So, seriously, quit hitting this server thousands of times. You’re like a cardinal that won’t quit running into it’s own reflection.
Not the grow lights people
Hey y’all, I’m getting a lot of email for a grow light company that also has spiderfarmer in their name. (I should go look them up so I can redirect, but I’m busy right now.) I am not the grow light people. This domain has been mine since 1995, as can be verified by the internet archive. It was the 557th non-commercial website on the web. 😉
Some time ago, the site got hacked, and I lost almost 30 years of content, because my backups were corrupted, or on very old versions of windows and unix. I’m still trying to figure out what to put here, but I think I may use it to showcase some comics and other projects I’m doing with other artists and writers.
So, buy all means, feel free to come back and see what the next evolution will be, but it won’t be grow lights, because I live in Deep Red, Bible Belt, Puritanical, Handmaid’s Tale, Texas, and we don’t have legal weed. Because the GOP are morons and would rather cut off their noses than get a fun tax base.
Well, this is a surprise
Somehow, all 25 years of this website just got wiped out. Server update, database crash, who knows. Yes, I have backups, and could go through all the work of putting everything back, but frankly, it’s a pandemic, the world is probably ending, and having my life’s work destroyed is just pretty on brand for 2020. So, this is a wordpress. It may or may not be what stays here. Who knows if any of us will stay here?
