Glad to hear it.

You have to realize that no one is really put off by your hacking threats. I mean, you seem bright enough, atleast.

I don't recall making any threats. Could you please quote me where I threatened to hack? Because if you are talking about when I told you that I could easily compromise the security of OWF, you should understand that any half decent hacker could do exactly the same, doesn't matter who I am or what I say, I would still be able to do it - but I have already stated my reasons as to why I don't.

Oh, and by the way, you do NEED to be a bright person if you want to hack, otherwise you end up doing "hacking by numbers" which is where you download hacking software/exploits/cracks and try to use it on other people - not only will it probably not work on Windows, but it will also most likely contain a virus or trojan, as most hackers consider this a good way to eliminate "hacking by numbers".

Just clearing things up.

The Private Messages table is safe. The only way you could read PMs would be through the Database Manager. Only I and Abe Babe have the password, and we never touch the Private Message's table.

Private Messages, wouldn't be private if they were read by us

Basically, we've had people cry wolf before. And well, the ending is always the same. We've also had people hack us before, but the server is very well protected.

Plus, I've created a simple way to create FULL backups now

As tempted as I am to take a big fat screenshot of all the stuff exposed and in the open, the database, PMs, and other types of administrative red tape, I am not going to.

So here is a tip, be careful with cookies, because that's how I got in.

Good luck with your uber newbie security if you decide to ignore me though.

Thanks for calling me intelligent, I don't get that much these days.

Why dont you actually show us proof that you hacked the forum? and anyways you just admitted your hacking the forum... so its either you say the truth you dont know how to hack or show us the truth and be banned... anyways i dont believe you hacked the forum since you dont show any proof...

That would be counterproductive. I did say that they were obvious (to me), but I never said they weren't doing a good job. I have no idea what naming them will do to change this place, but I am sure somebody will try something or flame them via PM.

AT NO POINT WILL I ACCEPT ANY REQUESTS TO HACK ANY PART OF THIS FORUM, NOR WILL I INCRIMINATE MYSELF BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT I HAVE DONE SO.

There. So stop trying to get me to do it. I am not going to give you what you want, I don't really want to get busted thanks.

I have already given reasons, and they are perfectly valid, so either accept it or just leave it, pestering me to give you evidence I hacked your server is not an option.

So please stop bothering me, I just want to get along with everybody and have a legitimate time of it for a change.

OK that's enough with the fighting! is it me, or has this thread gone off its purpose, this thread should be about mods and admins and have you ever been one not mods fighting with a new member. I can see why you are doing this but please don't make it any worse for yourselfs.

Don't worry yourself about this sort of thing spike - Alcar and Co. always come round to your post and try to ruin it by posting things that shouldn't be there, thinking that they are doing something heroic.

I think I have pretty much ended it with what I said, everything anyone says about it afterwards is just off topic fodder.

Just moan at them all like you did now whenever they do this.

Good luck.

Then stop luring us, saying that you hack the forum... if you really dont want to get busted stop saying you hacked the forum...

Quite lame reason actually..... i could've said i hacked the forum but i dont want to proof it coz its the good of the forum.... by hacking the forum you're damaging it...

:

Fighting? Who was fighting? I haven't seen any arguments in this thread.

Can I tell him Alcar? Can I? Can I?!

So you are saying that if you were in control of a forum and someone was saying he has hacked into it, you wouldn't respond in anyway? I don't believe that.

I have nothing more to say except that a bunch of people who can't hack can in no way empathise with one person who can.

The thing is, so long as I just tell you I can hack I am not actually breaking any laws, and as I said before, I don't want to break any laws. I would much rather be disbeleived than busted.

But please, continue this argument in a topic specific thread, OR via PM, but by areguing with me here you are ruining this guys thread.

But just for the record, I don't hack to get the respect of others, I do it because I enjoy doing it, and it gives me a rush. Therefore it doesn't matter what you say to me, I still won't prove anything to you just to gain your respect.

thanks

As i looked back in the thread, i saw you're the one that destroyed this topic. Al just said welcome to the forum and you made a big deal about it.

Oh really? I did, did I? How nice!

As far as I can remember, Al said something, then I just randomly said something afterwards, but Al thought I meant it in a mean way, but then I said something later and Al said it was ok.

SO THERE!
