Exactly Kah... it's all just a load of show. They make the propdumps
from their cache and intercept the OP password in transit - and it's
possible for them to do what they did in Myra. Big wow. NOT

Actually most of them do now. ZoneAlarm does.

The problem with today's advanced trojans is that they STOP the
firewalls from working properly.

Visa and MasterCard are credit cards, Brock, not debit cards :¬/

Yes I realise banks issue multi-purpouse cards. What I meant was that
they cannot be used AS debit cards where they're not accepted. So they
work like a credit card. So you're really paying by credit card, and not
debit card, even though they're both in the one card.

Which means that unless I'm mistaken AW doesn't accept Solo as a form of
payment.

A Solo card is a Switch card for under 18s, I'm pretty sure.

"Virtual Terrorists" are not so big. Spoofing email return adresses, big
wow. Oooh, stealing some stuff from their cache! They are so amazing!

Seriously, all those people running around saying AW is under
attack/worlds are gonna be "hacked" etc... they all need to be told that
it's just a load of kids trying to play mind games. The thing with
Myra... reports on that ranged from stuff like "Come to Myra LOL" to
"OMGZ WORLDS HAVE BEEN HACKED". Of course most of the people here know
that all they did was get the OP pass in transit and make propdumps from
their cache. Anyone who thinks these people are a threat to AW needs to
be told otherwise. It's seriously annoying me.

Also, don't trust any email, even if it appears to come from AW staff.
You all know the trick where they'll try and steal your pass, but it
seems (from the object path passwords cracked post) that they are
spoofing emails to try and dirty the names of AW staff members. I saw
many in that thread jump in and instantly believe it was from Bill... if
it had been asking for a password or something you would have known it
was spoofed right away, of course, but it seems they just want to make
people hate AWI, which isn't such an obvious scam.

Nov 29, 2003, 12:12pm

Yea... the main point of my post was actually, if you see anyone in AW
who thinks these people are big, make sure they understand they're not.
It annoys me when people run around saying "HACKERS ARE COMING" and stuff.

I'm seeing the same grammatical error all over the AWNews site.

The posessive form of it has no apostrophe, it's just "its". The reason
is to make it different from the contraction of it is.

I've only ever had P-10/5s and I've never been jealous of A!!CT. Though
I've never really liked A!!CT. Why do you assume that the only reason
some people may not like A!!CT HAS to be something as shallow as jealousy?

As for hatred... all I see are a couple of closed incidents. But yes,
large incidents. But for the most part, you built up a community in
A!!CT that largely respected you. It's not all bad.

According to MrBruce, AW is apparently full of hate. By posting these
names you are inflicting hatred upon these people as some will see them
as freeloaders.

Of course, AW might not be so full of hate... I hope so for those
citizens' sake...

How many times do we need to tell you this, MrBruce? VWTV is not
anti-A!!CT. Quite frankly we wouldn't waste our time. We want to provide
the community with information and entertainment. Why would we oppose
something like A!!CT and cut off a large amount of our viewer base?

Yes, staff memebers do have opinions. But we can't control the
conversations at VWTV's GZ all the time. Don't rate VWTV by what happens
in VWTV world, rate us by what we put on your screen.

Possibly. Or it could be Stefan. Or the whole thing on A!!CT could have
