but also sorry I couldn't design a level or such despite being the topic creator in the first place.

Mike-Tech: I would greatly appreciate in advance that if I'm to revive one of my old topics on here to serve as a personal projects thread that you don't contaminate it with random, self-serving, unhelpful off-topic posts like you did with this attempted Board 2 collaboration thread. If you ever do decide that you'd want to collaborate, you're welcome to. However, otherwise, I'll ignore you and/or report you for off-topic, nonsensical spam.

Thank you.

Mr.Puresabe updated readme.txt.

You need apply ROCKMAN X(V1.0) with CRC32:6A1B6926.

I haven't actually started any work yet and that's because I get sidetracked by other things far too easily........

So many people play Puresabe's newest hack, while I'm just sitting here, trying desperately to actually find the hack on his website.

Thanks for the love, everyone. I really appreciate it!

Mike-Tech: I tried the HVAC course, it wasn't for me. The school was all about taking money & the teachers really didn't care about the students, I left before they took out the tuition money.

Sigh. How is this even happening? As far as I can tell, it's not like the people periodically hijacking old accounts are actually exploiting any security holes in the board (if they did, we'd see many more attacks on recent/actually active accounts, I imagine). Are old backups floating around somewhere that people just rainbow table? (Why bother?) Or is it that one or more of the many schismatic boards runs periodical "tell us your old board2 password so we can go there and spam using your account" drives or something?

I don't have the energy to constantly have to do these cleanups, but at the same time, I'm not sure if there is anyone in the intersection of "would make a good admin" and "would be up for being an admin" (or at least I'm fairly jaded in that regard after the last attempt at contacting people in the first set returned a uniform battery of "sorry, but no"s) to add to the staff, and anyhow, our security model has traditionally been keeping the really heavy guns (that is, the power to do deep log analysis and perma-delete things) in the hands of fewer people than powerlevel=3 still, so as to prevent "someone got into an admin's account and caused tons of irreversible damage"-type accidents.

As for all of the people over the years that have been against the Board 2 community in general, and now this:

---

Hello I C1R1M1N4L Turkish hackers . I'm hacked into your system, but do no harm . Only the first and last warning you get .
Does anyone with the experience and insight believe that Board 2 is at high risk because of this threat? Is there anything that we can do? (The last time that I asked that question, it was about encouraging activity. Now it's about our survival overall. )

---

Don't fall for that crap, even after I saw that string line of posts and the threads.
I could tell the person who drummed up all of this was mostly bluffing.
If they wanted the site hacked up and be brought down it would have happened with no warning.
Kind of like arbe and his old pals would do back in the day just to prove a point.

As for the recent case of Termingamer2-JD, that kind of hit me for a hard surprise too because I consider(ed) him a great friend, only for the apparent takeover to focus part of his verbal attack towards me. If it was somehow the actual person trying to get his account banned (which I have a hard time believing) I would wonder why he suddenly decided to turn against and focus on me when all I ever tried to do was help him with his Board 2 stay and get along with everybody here.

I could attempt to contact him elsewhere to try to get a hold of him, not only to stay in contact with him, but also in case there was a way to somehow manage to get him to come back. However, I was still wondering if there was a way to find out for sure if it truly was him who did that, or despite being a more recently created account, it somehow got taken over and taken advantage of like some others in the past and recent times.

Sorry. I'm not trying to focus on anything that's better left alone, but I was just wondering given the other account takeovers. He was a regular poster here who I believe encouraged more activity in some areas where it had lacked for quite some time, but I understand that there would still be the risk of it ending badly again if the same result would just occur in the end. Since this seemed like an open discussion about this subject and recent occurrences, I just thought that I would throw it out there.

If it seems as though what's done is done and we're good for now, we could move on to talking about something else for the time being.

that's funny, Mike-Tech openly asked for power and in the end someone else got it

it seems Mike-Tech is still getting away with things he shouldn't get away with, though; so much for the increased staff

I guess someone should take a look at the FAQ...

and also learn your/you're while they're at it
