LMAO! if somebody falls for that, then they truly deserve it for being such a dumbass!

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 06:07:23


omg, just stay away from emails that deal with anything concerning your password.


int experience, posts;

while(experience/10 >= posts)

{posts++};

The men in white coats are going to take us away with their password tricks, I tell you!

If you don't already have that much common sense, you're really cruising to lose an account. But it's good to know you guys think of the stupid people too. Such humanitarians.

Ditto.

Remember, peoples, e-mails don't have to be from tom@mewgrounds.com. They can be from tom@newgrounds.com, or whoeverelse@newgrounds.com and still be fake. E-mails can be faked very easily by just anyone with an IQ above 5.

I know. I already fell for that.

Now Im banned from reviewing :(

So am I :(

Anyways I'm not quite sure what you mean there, Mr. Wade, but anything that I do that sounds remotely in relation to what you have said here, I'll just not do it.

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 07:30:33


Thanks for the heads up.

Now I did some pranking back then, I'll admit that... but asking for users' passwords is just plain nasty, who would do such a nasty thing? that's just fucked up....

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 08:21:13

Just an FYI to people:
I don't know about the other mods, but I wasn't ever emailed about my modship. I simply logged on one evening and it was there. When I accessed the mod forum I saw posts in there letting everyone know I had been modded and to help me out.

In other words, any kind of instant message/email from "Wade", "Tom", "liljim", etc., is most likely complete bullshit because, as I mentioned, they don't really send out emails about it. If they grant it to you then they just do it. They don't make it a big issue with lots of fancy emails and IMs.

Thanx for the heads up wade.....i probably would have fell for it to

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 10:24:48


Heh... good thing I'm too smart to fall for that joke. It's a pretty well-known fact that admins have access to all our account details including our passwords. I've gotten IMed by people who tried to fool me into thinking that they were Tom, but they failed. If you find out who is doing this, how are you going to go about punishing them?

Hello Moto.

If you get an email like this please forward it to me along with the headers so I can see the IP information. Do not ever change your password if it looks like "we" are asking you too. We would never do this. If the email appears suspicious, it probably isn't us.

So I can ignore that EMail from you Wade, asking me to play a round of "Hide da Sausage"?

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 11:22:19


Well... They probobly just noobs...
Besides, Even if they WERE to send them to people,
It would be for the expierenced players.

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 11:34:06


I wouldnt think it was real anyway. I will never be a mod.....

Exactly....just look at most emails regarding password changes and theyre mostly malicious.

Thats weird. I checked my e-mail, I got nothing, but thats probably cause I ain`t a mod.


I dont have a signature, stop bugging me.

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 12:16:01


Thanks for the warning wade.

Thanks for the heads-up Wade!

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 12:50:19

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 12:58:13

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 13:02:17

Response to Security Reminder 2005-08-02 13:22:08
