Hacked Account
 
It says I'm online when I'm not.

Moosh da Outlaw 06-27-2008 03:58 PM

Don't worry, nobody would hack your account. Nobody would bother to damage your reputation any more than you already have yourself.

Wings of Fire 06-27-2008 04:04 PM

Try changing your password, usually helps.

How would you know whether it says you're online or not, obviously if you're online and able to see it, it will say you're online...

It also takes a good half an hour for the cookies or whatever hyper-techno-jiggle-watt-mathingy to fully log you out.

TBH if someone was going to hack your account, they'd do more than read the forums.

He could view the page, and see who's online while he isn't logged in, you know.

Ass for the cookies (yes please), good point.

Yes, Who’s Online can act under the pretence that you’re still online long after you’ve shut down all instances of OWF. I’m guessing this is because, while vBulletin has an easy way of checking what an online member is doing, it can’t actually see that a member isn’t online. It just assumes you’re offline if you don’t do anything in quarter of an hour.

Now stop being so paranoid.

How would you know if you weren't logged in as MeechS1029 GTR?

MeechShrykull1029 06-27-2008 06:07 PM

MeechS1029 GTR was the "newest member" at the bottom of the index.

DarkHoodness 06-27-2008 06:21 PM

I'd quit while you're ahead if I were you, Meech. :p Although it is fun laughing at you. :)

EDIT:
Seriously though, is there anything wrong with simply settling down and contributing to OWF sensibly like everyone else instead of doing this kind of thing?

Oh, but that would make sense. We wouldn't want that, would we?

What's your point? That list shows the newest member irrespective of whether they're logged in or not.

In any case, I don't know why you're complaining about us blocking the GTR account. If your brother hates Oddworld so much, you should be glad that we blocked him before he could attack these forums.

Leto 06-27-2008 10:19 PM

Lol, this thread kind of proves that MeechS1029 GTR is a multi of the origonal MS1029. Why else would anyone be paranoid about their online status?

quite frankly, the most hilarious multi attempt on OWF ever (except mabye wired)

MeechShrykull1029 06-28-2008 09:29 AM

No, it doesn't. I just wasn't logged in. And sometimes, I thought that someone here who hates me made this account on purpose, so I also thought he might've hacked into my account. It turned out to be my brother.
EDIT: There's a new member named Hobo1029 GTR. Why do people have to do these things?!

Moosh da Outlaw 06-28-2008 10:39 AM

Because its funny.

Laser 06-28-2008 12:13 PM

An oxymoron if i ever saw one

YOU WIN THE SPOTTING THE PARODY GAME

That cost me 10 infraction points, I hopey you're all amused.

GlacierDragon 06-28-2008 12:24 PM

As soon as I saw the name of this thread I thought 'MeechShrykull'. It really made me laugh when I turned out to be right.

But you don't need to worry about anything until you get an email saying someone's tried to log into your acount. That happened to me once and I was paranoid for about a week *shifty eyes*.

Wil 06-28-2008 01:13 PM

No, what’s worse is if you don’t get that email because someone successfully logged into your account and started mucking about. Then the fun begins.

Really must get that flash drive from out of Peter’s jeans.
Flash, not flesh.
