Whats going on with the forums????

Metal Slug · Jan 20, 2002

Posts erased?
Old posts revived?
Genral Discussion looks really bare, whats up?

Is it a sort out, a Hack, or a glitch?

A SPAMMER was dredging up old threads and responding to them thus flooding the forums..
ALL of our classic threads should be -LOCKED- 30 days from the last post which would eliminate this CONSTANT NUISANCE.

It's something to do with this finalfantasy guy. All his posts have been deleted (and I suppose his account).

He was having a major rant at Bobak in all his posts and most of the spam was NGF related.

I don't what the hell has happened in discussions, the same thing is in sales forum too.

What the fuck is going on? <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

I suggest that you -CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD- if you have'nt done so already after the "hacker infiltration".

Ragus-sama ikeike spammed the forums and I Tora the Maiden Knight smoked his ass on every post he made ^v^ and I eventually softend him for Shawn-sama to destroy him by telling him on ICQ about the incident and Shawn-sama sweetie said he'd do some clean up. ^_^:::

Ragus-sama met his match and I kicked his ass tee hee ^_^

That's a top notch idea BB.

The sooner something like that is implemented the better.

So in this story the fair Maiden comes to the rescue?

Thats a refreshing change

Tora Kouhi · Jan 20, 2002

THANKYOU. As I hate seeing -our- "classic threads" used to flood the forums to fullfill a TROLL's personal agenda..
I see through the -RAGE- that consumes me
now and again...
I realize now that EVERYTHING can't be perfect for all of us but we can come DAMN CLOSE
for most of us...

It must be a hacker. <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" /> My post in the selling forum -- along with many others -- have disappeared. I'm so tired of this.... <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" /> <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

it's no hacker. The real Shawn-sama sweetie ICQed me himself and told me what he was up to.

Why did he delete our posts? That doesn't make any sense.

Arrrgghhhhh!!!!! This madness must stop.

Why would he tell you and not the entire message board? Something doesn't sound right about this. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" /> <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

I see where you're going with that, It all started before with someone hacking Shawns account didnt it?

Surely not again?
Shawns password must be well hiden this time!

That's how it was explained to me. The hacker apparently used Shawn's account to access the Admin tools to delete the Mods, forums, etc.

I don't think he spoke to Tora Kouhi. Thing is, why would he tell her and not the message board, where it matters the most? Get my drift?

I think that's a great idea.

BIG BEAR · Jan 21, 2002

These classic threads are hilarious...-BUT- definitely old news so people need to try and refrain from responding to them so that they "filter away".
Just check the date the thread started and you'll realize some loser dredged them up...

Criterionradiohead · Jan 21, 2002

There is something else going on here besides a spamer dredging up a bunch of old posts. Posts disapearing, things that have not been read marked as read and vice-versa??? There is something not right here. Also there is a post in the news section from "Shawn" about some escrow company. Not to be specu;ative, but it doesn't sound like Shawn, nor is it his style to post something like this in News and Rumors. I don't like this at all.

Criterionradiohead <img src="graemlins/mad2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mad 2]" />

P.S.

Shawn, if you read this please tell us what's going on here.

Nevermind, just double checked the topic posted by Shawn about the escrow thing and it was posted a year ago. Oooops
