He says, bumping the thread.

Fact #1–the dingfuck who did this is a piece of shit.

Fact #2–we know he’s a piece of shit.

Fact #3–\*he\*\*knows he’s a piece of shit.

Fact #4–he knows we know he’s a piece of shit.

Fact #5–given the above, there’s no real reason to tell him he’s a piece of shit (since everybody involved already knew that), but there’s also no real reason not to tell him he’s a piece of shit (since everybody involved already knew that).

\*If the piece of shit in question is actually a female piece of shit, I apologize for my usage of “he” and “him.” Not that gender is relevant, since he or she is too desperately pathetic for it to matter.

Thanks! I actually started posting yesterday again, and lost about 15 posts due to the hacker, including a few that were paragons of intelligent, well-written posts. The hacker not only took my one chance at glory and immortality away from me, he made the Baby Jesus cry, and his wailing is keeping me from sleeping…would _someone_ please shut him up!

Well, whoever did it was a member, and a member that’s been here for a while, I’d say based on the labels he applied to people.

It seems like it’s somebody that doesn’t like Zotti, Tuba, and Unclebeer, has had conflict with some posters, and evidently likes others, based on the labels.

Plus, it’s somebody who thinks using neat little hacks playfully is somehow ok, and cool. Someone who thinks overly much of their skill, and doesn’t quite get it that this stuff isn’t kosher.

Also, the person seemed kind of pissed in the some of the names he gave people. Calling Zotti BANNED is a pretty big clue.

So, we’re a looking for a somewhat immature person who thinks it’s ok to hack, but doesn’t have much skill, is or was a board member, was probably recently banned, and is not above pulling a prank for his own amusement to the great expense of others.

Gee, I wonder who it could be?

I give an 80% possibility to my first choice about a 15% to my second, and leave the other 5% for other.

Yeah, I think you’re onto something, Scylla. I’m curious. What were these labels that this idiot ascribed to folks? Whether or not they get mentioned in this thread or any other, I hope that the authorities are going over the evidence the hacker left because I’m sure s/he provided plenty of clues to track him/her down.

Speculating about identity based on the username alterations seems like it might not yield the desired results.

To **Anthracite** , welcome back, even though you don’t know who the hell I am. I enjoy your posts, and was silently hoping that your sabbatical was a short one.

To the hacker:

You may have thought you were being clever, but you weren’t. You simply revealed yourself to be nothing more than a child.

Actually, that’s an insult to children. I know a number of teenagers that wouldn’t have stooped to doing what you did.

May you soon be greeted by law enforcement officials on your doorstop. May they have a complete lack of a sense of humor.

May your eyes always water. May your knees lock up and never bend naturally again. May your hand and wrist seize up in a freakishly abrupt and severe onset of carpal tunnel syndrome. May your pecker fall off and get mistaken for a chew toy by a rabid Doberman high on angel dust. May your testicles fall off and become dessicated spheres, suitable only for display on a censored edition of “Ripley’s Believe or Not.” May your groin subsequently be permanently infested with a thousand fleas. May you soon descend into a permant, delirious hallucinogenic state from which there will be no awakening. May your fate be whispered only in hushed tones around nighttime campfires, a tale uttered only to cause fear and alarm in youths who may be tempted to demonstrate the behavior of the congenitally stupid.

May your exploits soon be forgotten except by the ever-vigilant adminstrators. The rest of us would do well to banish the memory of your inane deed to the depths of amnesia. In this way you will be denied the notoriety you sought to obtain.

As a farewell to you, who is undoubtedly lurking and viewing the aftermath from afar, I offer a simple, but heartfelt, “fuck you.”

Hang no one else for my sins…

The pathetic loser who pulled this crap obviously had been around the boards. He/she knew the people and the issues. And it’s probably safe to assume the putz never figured out the basics of coexistence and got banned in consequence.

Yeah, yeah, speculation is irresistable in a kind of train wreck way. But this asshole has already done enough damage to everyone on the boards and speculation just compounds the fracture. Whoever did this demonstrably hates the Dope and showed utter contempt for those who find anything of value or enjoyment here.

Call me Pollyanna (hell, I got compared to _Meg Ryan_ in an MPSIMS thread ::snickers:🙂 but only one person did this. Unfortunately there are a number of people who, for various reasons, couldn’t coexist here at a particular point in their lives. In simple fairness it’s wrong–and ignorant–to speculate in the absence of facts on “whodunnit”.

Okay, so Pollyanna has done some speculating too. But it’s futile, unfair and _validates_ the one putz who did this. Whoever shat all over the board is seeking attention with some nifty divide-and-conquer fallout, involving detailed forensic examination of everyone who’s ever been banned.

It’s unfair to everyone who DIDN’T do this and plays right into the hand of the cowardly, puerile person who did. IMO just being privately considered a possible suspect in such a stupid stunt is punishment enough.

Wordy but concerned,

Well yes, Veb. That’s all very well and good. I’m so pleased to see your so concerned about all of our welfare.

Yes. So concerned.

So very concerned.

Overly concerned?

Perhaps thou art protesting too much.

Perhaps you have good reason to fear speculation in this area.

Perhaps you don’t want people journeying down the path of deduction because it will lead them straight to…  
Ahh, but it would be premature for me to say anymore.

But just out of curiosity: Where **were** you late yesterday morning, and what **were** you doing, hmmmmmm?

Ah, shit.  
So much for Taking The High Ground. **I** was happily tangling the sheets with…::coy coughing:: well, let’s just say it wasn’t Jerry. He was otherwise occupied. Though we surfaced at odd moments (VERY odd) to toast him with slightly flat Champagne. And assorted nibbles.
