[thesite] PHP - fopen() error

[Daniel J. Cody]

Bruce --

I disabled the fopen() method to deal with DOS attacks. Sadly, it fucks 
up a couple things. Imagine a page on m.e.o called /joey/dos.php that 
had an fopen() function to /joey/dos.php

heylllllo vger, we have an infinite loop :)

again, sorry i had to block it, but after some of the shit this summer, 
it had to happen :(
