GSC has been hacked
dragonballz:
I'm beginning to think that T$R is run by a staff of twelves akin to the Oompa Loompas in Willy Wonka. Emerald-haired, tangerine-skinned, pirate-chanting twelves. With mullets. Bad mullets.
Scotty:
I wish I would have gotten some screen shots of this, but my only thought was getting my forum working again.
And Oompa Loompas were the good guys. I was thinking more along the lines of winged monkeys from The Wizard of Oz.

I dunno, man. Those Wonkans are pretty disturbing.
Witchboy:
More info forth coming...
It seems as they were busy hacking GSC they were also hacking into my account on Simvention at or around the same time. This has been confirmed by Nei. They soft deleted all my creations, changed my e-mail & password. Nei is working on getting my account back up so i can get in and change the e-mail & password.

Looks like someone soft deleted your threads. The email you used for simv wasn't **** @ aol .com was it?
Bill said:
No it wasn't
Isilme :: at work says:
It might have been someone hacked into your account then :/ i've taken a look and the threads have been deleted by your own account .The IP Address is: 83.170.113.97. The host name is: server52555.uk2net.com.
i can help change the email back and then you can try to reset your password?
Bill says:

Bill says:

Mirelly:
Are we talking about "hard" hacking here, where an evil genius gets by the host server's security to wreak havoc? Or maybe it was a case of "soft" hacking where some fuck wit lucked out on a less than secure password? Passwords should always be at least 8 characters long and contain a mixture of upper and lower case letters plus one or more numerals. One should also avoid using the same password for multiple applications, and never use the same password to protect strictly personal activity (banking for example) and interwebs tomfoolery like forum usage. Changing passwords often should [edit]not[/edit] be regarded as optional.
