Who wants to be oddguy?
 
Hey kids...

I got an e-mail from OWF saying my account would be frozen for 15 minutes because "I" had incorrectly entered my password 10 times in a row or something. It of course wan't me...someone was trying to get into my account.

So...this begs the question

Who wants to be oddguy, eh?

Since we're on the subject of account hacking...feel free to share all your stories having to do with said topic. Wihtout a doubt someone is bound to post a link to a thread having something to do with PA. ;)

Oh my. That's terrible. But nothing ever has happened like this to me. I'm not popular enough. :P

Dark Elite_H2 02-22-2006 12:35 PM

huh?
Yer givin' away your account?
I could never! Your name's nice!
Plus, I'm attached to mine. Keep it to yerself.

Fuzzle Guy 02-22-2006 01:00 PM

No. He's not giving away his acount. Someone tried to hack into it. He's saying who wants to pretend to be Oddguy, not who wants to have the username Oddguy.

Anywho, hacking is a commen event. People hack for several reason, they think it would be fun to ban people from Forums by posting filthy things ect. (I've never done that) they want to be able to get on certain websites ut the school computers block it, and the only person who can get on is you IT teacher (No Comment. And it... wasn't :dodgy: succesfull.

I'm sure if you threaten a ban it will stop.

outlaw king 02-22-2006 06:25 PM

Well , i dunno , id gladly have yer avatar though! Its great!:lol: :lol: :lol:

that was just a joke , i didnt try to hack into yer account.

Abeguy 02-22-2006 06:37 PM

I come clean it...was...n't me. I remember someone logged in as Paramite Abe one time and it wasn't pretty.

outlaw king 02-22-2006 06:45 PM

BUSTUUURD!!!

AquaticAmbi 02-22-2006 07:16 PM

Hah, that's kind of funny. Maybe some random person just really wanted your username? Who knows...

Weird stuff though.

Must be the ghost of SligSlinger.
Either that or... Lets see who else has died on OWF?

Rex Tirano 02-23-2006 01:53 AM

:p Well I know someone who has come back from the supposed dead... Eh AFOS? You didn't try to guilt me and Rich by telling us you'd committed suicide. At all. Of course, you're an innocent by stander, just laughing at what other people have done [when you've obviously not done the same thing yourself]. :)

But lol at trying to be hacked. I'd say that it's someone who spelt their name wrong or who just thought it would be fun to become you. [You are so smexy after all;) :)]

Fuzzle Guy 02-23-2006 02:20 AM

What the hell does Smexy mean :p

Possibly someone who was banned and couldn't start a new user because they are too stupid to realise you just have to register a new email adress.

OANST 02-23-2006 06:34 AM

Smexy is an english delicacy made from the funk between your toes. The more upscale places will have a pregnant woman urinate on it for that extra flavor.

Abeguy 02-23-2006 01:26 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, thats hell funny
"hmm, this smexy has a hint of baby doesn't it?"
"yes dear"
"oh yes! i remember now, it smells of the bathroom when you were pregnant!"
"whatever you say dear"

Bah!
They have yer IP address, so it wouldn't matter if you had a new e-mail addy. You's be quickly identified.

what happened to jacob anyways? i never really knew. he was annoying.

Nate 02-24-2006 10:50 AM

He was an acquired taste. One that took me a few good years to get used to.

He went to university and decided that he didn't have the time for the forums any more.

Nope, I tried to leave the forums, Which I'm not good at doing at all.
Seriously, I get hooked on forums.

What happened to the good ole "I'm Leaving" then? :p

oddguy 02-25-2006 11:04 AM

Ah...this is bullshit. The PA hacked thread was deleted. :compmad:

This is the link that would have taken you there...

http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums...?threadid=7776

However, PA's reaction thread is still in tact...where we find out the name of PA's lover according to Jacob.

Wow. Well, if they couldent have and find your Ip, you just must have an easy password. I remember getting hacked on Doomworld Forums and i got permanitly banned, cause my password was password. Make your password harder like mine! :P

Abeguy 02-25-2006 09:31 PM

yeah, but it didn't say the "name", Oddguy. but yeah, that was one of the first threads I opened when I joined. lol

Leto 02-25-2006 10:36 PM

What an attention whoring topic. If you are concerned, pm an admin or someone who can actually do something.

No need to make yourself the centre of attention.

LOLOL! EggRoffle sandwich.

Back when I administerated (nu werd! or is it? stay tuned!) a forum of my own, (alcar has probably had this in the past) I had so many people trying to guess my password. We did actually have one incident where one of the moderators got hacked into by someone guessing his password.

It was his own fault though, because he had the most obvious password evers. Still kinda funny. The guy who took over his account changed the password and contact addresses, but we still couldn't figure out who it was. We had our theories of course... as any forum this happens in does.

Sure it did: His name was/is Steam. I wonder how he and PA are doing these days...

Luke, I demand that you undelete the first link. C'mon... We want to see the PA hackedness! It's been so long that it doesn't matter if anyone sees it now.

Fuzzleman54321 02-26-2006 08:49 AM

No Affence to Oddguy Or PA, but, if you made a thread like this saying: How hacked into my Account! the person who did isent gonna own up. I think you even know that.

Wil 02-26-2006 10:19 AM

Alcar once hilariously typed out his password in OddChat. I wasn't quite quick enough to change it before he could.

Nate 02-26-2006 01:22 PM

What was it, out of curiosity? I'm guessing something pretty perverted.

Not if you register on a school computer.

Splat 02-27-2006 02:28 AM

I remember PA's thread. Basically it was called something like "I have a confession guys, I'm gay."

And it basically had someone under PA's name saying ho gay he was and how he hated it and so on and so forth.
And then everyone started saying it was probably untrue cus it didn't sound like PA. So the guy insisted, "No really guys, I'm gay! blah blah blah."

Then someone pointed out it lacked PAs normal bad spelling, and in the next post the hacker was spelling like some sort of fingerless gorilla. Then a bunch more people said how retarded the hacker was and then real PA turned up and said it was probably some guy from school or college or something.


And so we all lived happily for a disappointingly short period of time.

I once had a friend whose MSN was hacked and the guy changed his name to "I am a chav". Actually I still have the friend but the name's gone now...



Oh, yeah and you're all attention seeking scumbags and so on, i hate you all, why haven't the mods closed this, what times lunch, I'm bored and have no social life.

Speaking of, I've heard in lots of places PA had horribly typed posts with no good grammar at all. But I have never seen these kinds of posts. Was he condemned to go back a retype all of his posts with good grammar or something?

That's great, God it's great, but what can the community do to aid you other than tell you to change your password?

I'm not too sure if anyone is going to own up somehow.

outlaw king 03-01-2006 10:08 PM

No , not really , i just wanted to show supermunch that anything is possible . Sure the chances are about 99999999999999 to 1 . but you never know .

Why do we create topics here in the first place? ...to discuss. This was kind of a "Hey...this happened to me. Who else has this happened to?" topic. I was just using my story to get the ball rolling into a broader topic about account hacking in general...forums and elsewhere. I wasn't creating this in hopes someone would confess or anything. :rolleyes:

Also, the individual attempted to get into my account. My password is very very unique...so there's no way anybody is going to guess it.
