Just because TR had access to your private forums doesn't mean they hacked you, which was what Aedill was trying to link in his initial post (yeah, bold TR's name, go out of the way to link them to the incident and claim it's a history). My point was that Loly, etc. had access to other guild's private guild forums too so if we follow Aedill's logic, the next time anything suspicious happens to TR, Loly should be the suspect. I'm assuming you can see how ridiculous that line of reasoning is.

Information from a general forum sure...

The beginning of Cat memes signals the death of this thread. I thought it would go farther than this...

In this case, someone had access to the account of one of the forum administrators (no, not mine), and used this access to download a copy of the database. So, yes, the forums were compromised. This is not the action of someone who is looking for a little inside information.

Also, the word "hacked" is inappropriate in this case. They already had this individual's password. It was taken from elsewhere. They logged in correctly on their first try. So, beware, folks -- just saying.

So having access to officers sections of websites is illegal? The best part is the "officers" of guilds who build open bridges in secret for a "just in case this shit goes bad, I can jump on another ship",are the ones leaking stuff.

Meaning even I have access to read anything posted in Officer sections of 4 of the top guilds guilds on this server. You won't ever know if I logged in on a officers account. There are legal ways of doing this, and keeping the same "officers" IP address. IE the same program half your members use to have trackers online 24/7 or have numerous people logged in at the same time to claim a spawn before it spawns, or 6 member groups filled with only 3 people or so playing all of them.

People have asked me why I haven't joined guild xyz, or zyx. It's because of the rampant cheating the other guilds (not all) that I have seen from their leaders or officers, and let everything else slide. I get more enjoyment from snitching out cheaters, and having people cry about it 3-4 days later.

lol someone hacked our databases and reporting our posts about how to exploit a bug, but /wink wink don't do it. Good attempt at covering bases.

I don't condone illegal hacking. I fully support the spy method that is legal.

HI PERUN, ALARTI

You realize that there was a keylogger going around last month, right? There's a whole server announcement thread about it...

Let me break this down for you, because you're having a difficult time understanding me.

1. If you download our database, yes, I will know. Will I know it was you? No. I also don't care -who- did it. I want this to stop. I'm not interested in catching people. I'd like to play the game a bit in between all of this bullshit.

2. Did you miss the part about how I'd reported this "exploit" the instant I found it? It's already fixed, awaiting patch. Stop spinning.

Yes, I'm sure that TR found my post amusing. It didn't benefit me in any way, so... yeah. You can quit bringing that up now. If anything, you're using it as an excuse to spin the issue here. The point is: If you don't have legitimate access to something, GTFO.
