NO ONE POST IN OR ABOUT THE SCREW YOU THREADS

Post by **CronoTriggerfan** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 7:37 pm

We're trying to get this all sorted out. For the time being, I ask all of you not to post in or about any of the threads titled "SCREW YOU". Again, we're bustling to get to the bottom of this, so please, just bear with us here.

What's going on around here? Did he just snap?

We think he may have been hacked. (He could have logged in at school on a computer with a keylogger or something.)

Here's what's probably going to happen:

1. Ban the account
2. Damage control
3. Get the account mess sorted out, set him up with a new password

Damage control is going to take some time, since there's 6+ pages of these threads. A legitimate thread or two may get accidentally deleted as well, sorry.

It's going to take some time, so bear with us.

What Bic said.

Judging by an AIM conversation with ValiantVenality, as well as a quick check of his IP address, it's pretty obvious that his account has been hacked by a bot. And as has already been stated, cleaning all this up will take a while. So be patient.

This'll be a hell of a story to talk about in the future, huh? Actually, forums in general could be a good future podcast topic!

Okay, that should take care of it. If you see any more of those threads in any of the other forums, please let us know.

Haha, so ironic, your post count is 6666, bic.

Damn, am I tired of checking boxes. I don't think I've checked that many boxes before in my life!

VV's post count was 666 after all that crap was posted.

This is freaky...

Post by **bicostp** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 8:13 pm

No, props to you guys for being patient and not yelling at us to fix it faster!

Missed it as well - I guess that's what happens when you have a life.
