Happy birthday, Jack Batty

To the person who fucked with the boards: :mad:
I’d just like to point whoever was responsible for this reprehensible activity to the [url="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=signup"registration page:
“Vandalism of the site through inappropriate use of HTML or other code is grounds for immediate banning. Vandals will be reported to their Internet services provider. In extreme cases we may refer site vandalism to the police.”
Notice that this pertains to everyone, not just those registered on the site.
Happy interneting. As long as it lasts, anyway.
[sub]The above should not be construed as a threat by me, 'cuz I ain’t making one. I’m just saying that WHEN you’re caught, whoever you are, well, I don’t want to be there to see jerry and the rest of the folks . . . [/sub]
I’d just like to fix the coding error in my previous post.
This is what I meant to link to.
We now return you to the pile-on (except the pilee isn’t here).
“Dear Enemy: May something slightly unpleasant happen to you, like a turnip falling on your head.”
No, wait, sorry. That was the low end. Where was it…
Ah, here we go:
“Dear Enemy: May God hate you and all your kind, may you be turned orange in hue, and may your head fall off at an inconvenient moment.”
Much better.
Dang it! I’m never going to get where I need to be if my O so witty and pithy posts vanish like that!
Jeez, what a dull Friday afternoon. yawn
Good thing I didn’t post the announcement thread for the party yesterday isn’t it?
It’s coming soon, by the way…

You sir, are not a gentleman.

May a band of sodomizing dildo terrorists track you down to your lair within your mother’s basement, and finding you diddling yourself with a value sized dispenser of lotion on your right and a box of tissues on your left, proceed to part you down the middle (sans lubrication) like a lumberjack with a splitting maul.
All my wonderful posts, gone forever…
I’m going to find this guy’s password, and then spend a delightful day on ebay using it. He’ll end up the all time highest single day bidder in ebay history.
“That’ll learn ya to bust my tomato.”
Fuckin’ geek.
I guess we’re supposed to be impressed by your mastery of the computer sciences. Too bad this had to come at the expense of your obviously athropied interpersonal skills.
Loser.
I betcha I can still beat you up and take your lunch money.
Meany-butt
Dear Prick, or Snatch, as the case may be:
If you thought I was cock tease before, just wait till I get ya tied up in a chair in my basement for a few hours.
I had a lovely discourse going yesterday regarding my favorite band,
I had just written a scathing rant against my stupid friend in which I used the term ‘angelcunt’
and I was getting weight loss tips in MPSIMS.
you suck.
but here’s the thing: you suck poorly.

Dear Hacker Crap-Artist
You are a sheep-shagging ratbag, who probably shrivels in real sunlight. May your hardware crumble, your software melt, and your monitor decide it would be better off being an artichoke in a distant field in Iowa than have you staring at it 24/7.
There are enough boneheads out there in cyberspace without overflowing pustules such as yourself. If you live by the sword …
Yeah, what everyone said.
I was trying to post a reply in the best concerts thread telling jarbabyj that she convinced me to add Mutter to my latest Amazon order (along with the Hedwig soundtrack and a couple of Discworld books).
I had a pretty decent F.O.T.H. reply going concernig Miss Creant’s anus.
I was browsing the boards with impuninty.
But no, goatfelcher made me do work. Nobody makes me do work.
You are a fargin icehole. To quote Ellison: “May a thousand syphillitic camels spit on your grandmother!”
For shame, Bad person.
Using your powers for Evil.
I seriously doubt any skill was involved. Chances are, the cracker used a pre-written tool that exploits some already-known weakness. This type of “person” is known as a script kiddie.
Also, most geeks are cool. In fact, this type of behavior is definitly un-geeky.
- Yes, they used a hack that was posted on a website.
1a) No, I will not post the URL.
-
No, it did not take skill to use.
-
No, the script that posts the hack from the website is not anonymous (I looked at the source, and tested it myself to confirm)
3a) Yes, they certainly could have spoofed their IP, or done it through AOL, etc.
- No, we will likely not know who it is unless they do what 99% of all caught hackers do, which is tell someone.
[hijack]Hey Anthracite, glad to see you back![/hijack]
Muahaha…soon…you all will be converted.

I kinda feel sorry for this person. I wonder what kind of life he/she has that drives them to do this stuff. I only know one person personally who has done something like this and he was a very sad, angry, lonely person.
[slight hijack]
Welcome back, Anthracite. Good to see you posting again. 
[/slight hijack]
The person responsible is undoubtedly going to read this thread, and I suspect he’s getting exactly the reaction he wanted.
Don’t give it to him. Instead, pity him. Silently.
