I would say this point is legit.

Also, as our Swedish friend pointed out, everything happening behind the scenes = bad.

And this is why people read the forums, because they want to know what's going on. Yeah, its guild drama, but everyone continues to open the thread...

Ya its guild drama, but accounts getting stolen hacked, passwords compromised, etc is rl drama

It is a logical fallacy that because your database was hacked and because a TR member forwarded on an exploit you talked about (even in a "don't do this" way) on your member forums that a TR member hacked your database. We have had former/disgruntled TMO / DA in our app pool consistently for a solid 8 months, including apps received as recently as this morning. People offer us, unsolicited, a ridiculous amount of information about what goes on in your guild.

I am sorry you got hacked. I don't know jack and/or crap about database security, but it seems pretty out of line to point the finger without any actual evidence when this server is a cesspool of people who know entirely too much about the internet. We're not the only people your guild's leadership has pissed off.

pwned

Yes, after every nice thing TMO has said about us and done for us, I think it's only fair we let them know every time one of their members tells us something embarassing about their guild.

embarrassing for all involved

Why is this a warning to this community? No one gives a damn about guild drama, especially if it's third party (IE non-official p1999) sites.

Half the players on p1999 I know for a fact don't care about this.

Guild drama and illegal activity that affects players on this server are very different things

What's the illegal activity which impacts me? Sounds like whatever exploit you folks had posted on your forums would have been the most likely thing to impact Joe Average.

This thread reeks of preemptive damage control.

Recycling this. Thank Hasbinbad for this.
