| In the beginning, Acmlm's Board was created as a small community, led by Acmlm himself, for people to discuss ROM hacking. Over time, this board grew bigger and bigger, gaining members and popularity, all the while maintaining its fun, laid back attitude. And it was fun. Then... a person came along. Initially, it seemed that this person would be another valuable, intelligent member of the community. However, it eventually became clear that this was not the case. Cool as he may have been, he gradually turned violent. Everything from flaming others to hacking the board itself. Posts deleted, accounts messed with, all manner of general havoc wreaked. And so, this person was permabanned; banished from the community for all time. This person, as if you couldn't guess, was Xkeeper. Skip ahead a while. Once again, we see that the board is a fun, active community, full of mostly intelligent people and always a joy to post on. Living up to its slogan, "live the fun posting experience", Acmlm's Board was one of, if not the single greatest community on the world-wide web. And once again, Xk showed up. Just as before, he wasted little time going to work sabotaging and destroying the board. And so once again, he was banned for all time. Over the next few years, this cycle repeated several times. Xk continued to return via various ban-bypassing methods, cause all sorts of damage - in many cases, irreperable destruction - and being banned once more. Eventually, this grew to be such a problem that more severe measures were taken. The board's very code was altered such to prevent him from returning, and the server itself was reconfigured to deny him any manner of access. Xk's continued vandalism and destruction had become such a problem that such extreme measures had to be taken to end the chaos. Once again, Xk has returned and made himself administrator. Just as in every other case, he proceeded to destroy. Genders have been swapped back and forth so often that the entire point of the 'gender' field is lost. User accounts have been modified in every way imaginable. Posts have been rewritten and for all anyone knows deleted. And to add insult to injury, he has continued to flame and troll constantly. Let's review. Xk has done this several times, and each time he has been banned. Clearly, the logical choice this time is to... keep him on staff and laugh as he continues wreaking havoc?  The fact that he's remained admin this long is bad enough. Now I learn that he is being given access to the very board code itself. This is akin to electing Hitler head of national security and giving him full control over all national defense systems. To take a quote from his own bio:
Even worse, he has already publically threatened to do more damage: Originally posted by Xkeeper Personally, I will be quite surprised if the board even still exists by the end of the week. If nothing else, I can almost guarantee that several unorthodox, malicious changes will be made to the code. (Unless, of course, he decides not to do so simply to spite me, but I highly doubt he'll be able to resist the temptation.  )I can only ask what bonehead made this decision. If it was in fact Acmlm's doing, then this proves that he has indeed stopped caring about the board. I have noticed some active development on his own AB 2.0, and so if this is the case, then it may be simply that he wants the current board to go out with a bang before introducing V2.0. However, this is most likely wishful thinking. If this was not Acmlm's decision, then I think a serious review of the intentions of the person who did make it is in order. Clearly this person either does not care about the board (and for that matter, probably wishes to destroy it him/herself) or has severe mental issues, or both. Either of these traits are not good to have in an administrator. And so, if this does go through and Xk is indeed granted access to the code, then I shall deeply mourn its eventual death. I'll stick around to see just what happens (assuming Xk As Xk himself would have posted:  What happened, Xk? You used to be awesome.  |

Originally posted by GavinOriginally posted by Lenophis Before Xk... before all the drama... that's precisely how it was. There's nothing unorthodox about fixing bugs. What I meant was:
He's already taken the time to fuck with my account several times within the last few weeks. What would make you think he won't take the time to add one or two queries to random places to fuck with it further? If it were up to me, security would be absolute priority. The lack of security is ridiculous, but I can't very well do much about it. |

Originally posted by Colleen Yes, but I didn't do anything malicious with it. The closest thing to malicious I did was ban Xk, knowing he'd just admin himself again anyway. The only reason I even did it to begin with was to fix my name after Xk fucked it up for the hundredth time. 
That may have been fun, but... hell, I'll just use a graph.  That lump in the middle is the fun you're talking about. Originally posted by Grey That was one occurrence. As I mentioned before, after he fucked with my account for about the hundredth time, BEFORE I ever adminned anyone, I got sick of it and decided to simply fix it myself. I knew banning him was futile but I did it anyway just to have a few minutes of peace on the board. Originally posted by Xkeeper And you posted this where? For that matter, do we really need another 'technical demonstration'? Originally posted by kittyOriginally posted by KrelBecause he KNOWS. Knows that he's just gonna get torn a new one. He's biding his time. For what, well... who the fuck knows. And where did you get the idea that I was going to stop posting? I didn't show up much today because I had more important things to do. That's a fairly common occurrence.

That's digusting. Bad enough that they install (and illegally at that) their crap, but it's not even coded well. And then they wonder why people pirate? Lesee, we can pay for a crippled CD that won't play in half our systems and fucks with any computer it's put into, or we can download the music, edit it if so desired, burn the tracks to CD in whatever order we want, and play it on anything. Or put a copy on our MP3 player, store it on the HD so we don't need to put the CD in every time (maybe we want to listen to music and play a game at the same time?), etc... |
I've said it enough already, but that doesn't mean I intend to stop: DRM must die.

And people wonder why I'm not finding the board fun anymore or why I don't agree with Xk being on staff. |
I FUCKING WONDER.Val, if you ever meet the author of the Firefox extension Tab Mix, I highly suggest you thank him for the Undo Close Tab feature. It has just saved you a broken nose.

So after killing the fun aspect of the board for years, him finally fixing the holes that people know about and doing God-knows-what-else in the process makes up for it? I somehow disagree. |

Who said anything about being minimal? I'm not against holes being fixed, I'm simply against it being done by the person least deserving of being able to even ping the board's server. |
Danielle, I see a fair number of people agreeing earlier in this thread and others. Unless Xk/Val's gone and deleted those posts too.

Someone else who knows how to program and can be trusted. Go to the ROM hacking forum, you'll find plenty of people. |
Originally posted by Shyguy I guess you could say that. I'm afraid of what he's going to turn the board into.
Precisely my point. He knows who knows about each hole and who doesn't. Let's just say Joe Programmer decides to check the code and see if he really has fixed the holes. He did? Great! Now Joe simply needs to check the holes that only Xk knows about... oops! Really, I'm just waiting for an official statement regarding who gave him access. Official meaning not from one of the open sewers spewing crap into the thread right now. (edited by HyperLamer on 11-02-05 12:34 AM)

And yet Shyguy claims he doesn't want LT closed. |
