It's the government that gets the money from fines, not the 'plaintiffs' or whatever they're called. And Tom/Wade, what will you do if they're a 15 year old kid? Tell their mom?! Or fine the parents? You might think that sounds stupid, but seriosuly, it could easily be a kid.
I hate typos, I meant SERIOUSLY. Actually, a good idea would be an option to edit our posts! :)

Yeah I think you are right. "harmless hackers" help people ( cause they're good ). But people like HITLER ( just from the time I saw he's account name... ). I knew that stupid dude was hidin something...
I hope you and Wade find a fix :-)
GOOD LUCK.

No, they don't benefit from fines, but if you want, you could look into bringing suit under the common law of torts regarding public disclosure of private information.
Well... I guess there's an upside to not having done much of anything on Newgrounds for god knows how long. I mean, I wasn't a major figure by any means, but I do like my accounts to STAY mine.
Thanks for the warning. I think I'll just stay off my username until this gets dealt with. Vaya con Dios.

The user _shadow_ e-mailed me some NG account hacking tools... but, since I don't know _shadow_ that well, I didn't open them(in fear of a virus). Want me to foward you the mail, Tom?

So that Nazi cake link of HITLERs(the link) was just a way to get their passwords?I dont dislike HITLER he's a nice and funny guy but i dont like him doin that.
Hey Tom, I have a question for you. I've uploaded
2 southpark cartoons here today which both got blammed
after a few minutes, because they thought i had just imported a southpark movie into flash. BUT I HAVEN'T.
I've actually drawn everything myself, YOU HAVE MY WORD!. The only thing
I didn't make was the sounds which I got from the net.
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS?? People think im just copying southpark ): ):
Man, I can't believe some loser named after a certain Jew-Hating dictator would be such a fucking loser over a few passwords. Geez, some ppl have no fucking life. On another note, SHOW NO MERCY TOM!!!!

I think Ive seen a link in hitler's profile "hitler's party? Tom have you check that site out
its nice we flame peaople but please do it tastefully! Maximina/Hitler (same person) is not the one completely responsable person for all of this. He has only done one incident. He has allready had a LONG discussion with Wade and e-mailed Tom. Granted he may have created the idea he was not one of the ones who abused it. I think its grand you have a voice.. but from knowing Maxi in real life... he hacks for kicks not to be an ass and he never does any dammage.. he does it simply cause someone said IT CANT BE DONE!! ... thats his motive... now flame away... but he never screwed with anyones account more than once and only once to say HEY IT CAN BE DONE... its those malicious copy cats you have to watch for.... Maximina/Hitler is really a cool guy in realife.. when he is not sniping you with a 6 foot long home made paintball gun....(rubs his back) but hey all is fair in paintball right Maxi? *laughs* anyway i felt an update was necessary.. and to those who came up with creative pics for flaming.. like the Dell parody... YOU ROCK! Thats what this site is all about.. so please flame away.. but use art and be tasteful about it! Quoting is for those who are not creative enough to express themselves.
