how the fuck would closing registrations prevent users/mods from getting phished?

people just need to be careful/not morons

I fully agree that they should've been more careful; I assume there won't be any more mods that get phished now, as the situation is critical now.
But I've read a bit through their forum, and I noticed someone had made script that made new email accounts and newgrounds account on the fly, in order to spam-vote, and steal awards.
This can be partially solved by temporarily not allowing any new users.

Also, I hate how we all look so immature and noobish with our alts.

Someone to hack this fucktart's account, myspace, facebook, facespace, mybook, youtube, whatever? Yeah, anyone here that can do that? I am not reccomending it, but I'm just suggesting...

sorry for the double post.

I've been thinking about that, but their forum is hosted on a forum host service, and we'd only hack that then, while the service does nothing wrong. The service it's hosted on needs to be notified, so they can take the necessary action. The thing is that they would probably re-organize somewhere else.

regardless, those links are still out there, and so are accounts that the phishers can log into and resume their doings.

we shouldn't be looking for solutions elsewhere, the only solution is the one we can actually do ourselves and are born with - common sense.

OK, this thread is derailed SOO badly, now we're just advertising and giving them the attention that they want...

Tom & Wade will figure something out... Mods have to be on a "High" alert, tis all...
for those that lost our post count (i was at 10k) let's just lick our wounds and post, to those that are/were banned, just wait patiently, once you are cleared of any wrong doing, you'll be un banned...

The authorities are the best bet, but they probably won't look to hard into it because it's just a site and we've had legal problems all through our history. Meh. I miss my old account.

Don't forget this is site is probably somewhere in top 30 of the most worth sites.
It IS a big deal, and this is cyber criminality.

I know that it's worth a lot. It's worth in the millions. But I'm saying they might not work too hard. I'd say the'd probably just shut the site down until the DD and whoever else is in on this faces charges or whatever. Just my guess.

brb, 30 minute wait.

Under 1% of NG's daily visitors even check the forums. So if couple mods get phished, that's really nothing on the big scale.

i am one of the few people who wasnt banned.

Thank god i have been getting no attention from anyone lately cause it seems like Newgrounds was ignoring me and im glad they did :D

Rofl. I think my stomach is sick from laughing at this so hard. Why do we have mods in the forums if we only have -1% of NG's daily visitors check the forums. Why are the DD coming for the forums if -1% of NG's Daily visitors even check it. Your dence.

Notice how the title of this thread is "keep your panties on guys"...? Well, some of you need to ;)

Yes, this situation is annoying, but it'll pass. Summer holidays, kids don't have school to occupy them.

Stay positive!

You're going to, trust me. I posted once yesterday on my main and got the ban. It's smart to just lurk until further notice.

Two alts FTW!

Can we expect to get our accounts unbanned soon? Or do we just sit out the ban?

You'll never guess whose alt I am.

We've been trying to but we all get hyped into saying the same things over aand over again. this was made an hour or 2 ago and it's already got 5 pages. we need to track down the next rogue before we get flooded with tons of them. this site is going down terribly and all we want to do is help. I don't wanna leave NG.

i say pool the resources and try and fix the big problem here, dont worry about unbanning us to later, we're all here on alts, right? id rather see these people get stopped quickly before more happens, then everyone running around distracted unbanning people

We're doing what we can, it's just unfortunate that they've found their way into a few mod accounts.

It's not just phishing, either. Mod accounts have been specifically targeted and they're throwing everything they've got at us, supposedly even trying to get into our email accounts in order to retrieve our login info from Newgrounds and stuff like that.

Like I said, it'll pass. :)

I heard that the DD are all huge fags who have gaysex with(and you may not believe this) other MEN

That question made no fucking sense. Are you saing that there shouldn't be mods?

Why are the DD coming for the forums if -1% of NG's Daily visitors even check it.

There are hundres of people on the forums every day.

Duh

Fuck Yeah, I'm lifted all though I'm not going to get all cocky just to get banned again. I hope this passes though.
