Remi Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Yep, I'm aware that threads are disappearing. I posted about it in the LucasForums admin forum two days ago, but haven't received any answers yet, so for now we'll just have to wait and see.
Joshi Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 yeah, that's kinda weird, i mean just yesterday i replyied to two threads that aren't there now. what's going on, server troubles?
bucket-o'-mudd Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Yeah, what happened to the alphabet game thread? I know it got on some people's tits, but I didn't think it was enough to delete the entire thread
Remi Posted January 30, 2003 Author Posted January 30, 2003 As I said, the threads disappeared - I didn't delete them, nor did any of the moderators. Honestly, I have no idea why they would just disappear, and I've yet to hear anything from any forum admins.
bucket-o'-mudd Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 and now that I look more closely, someone else started a good thread about how you came to know the MI series. I just spent the whole damn afternoon (well at least an hour) writing this long reply to it

I just spent the whole damn afternoon (well at least an hour) writing this long reply to it hey that was my thread:D With these disappearing threads it also makes our post numbers drop and I was that close to reaching the next status stage.
RicardoLuigi... Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 *boohoo* My boring thread is gone! Well, not my boring thread, but my boring thread. the boredom one, you know. does that mean that all of our posts got deleted and that we lost points? because on the side of my thingy, it says i have 63 posts and 80 points, and i remember looking at it yesterday and seeing higher #s than that.
justin86 Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 yeah my thread got deleted can't be bothered rewriting it all tho lol
That's me Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 that's some weird ****..... maybe witchcraft.... a higher power...... a ghost...yep this forum is cursed
That's me Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 hey!!!! now i'm just a pirate-wannabe........ this is gonna hurt for soooooo many people
Joshi Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 story of how i got into MI was actually quite interesting and long and now it's gone. i didn't spend an hour, but i spent a good ten minutes on it and actually spell checked it afterwards and for what? this is annoying. and yesa, maybe this forum is cursed, or maybe someone hath deleted the threads. seems logical really. (sorry, am i spoiling someones fun, if so then disregard that last remark)
Remi Posted January 31, 2003 Author Posted January 31, 2003 Well, we may or may not have some ideas on what's going on. If posts stops disappearing we've hit the jackpot, and if not... well... then we were wrong. ¬ ¬
Joshi Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 HIt the jackpot? Then howcome i don't get it. sorry, I'm not normally this ignorants but this time, I think your going to have to point me in the the right direction. Are you saying that you know who's doing it, or are you just stating that 'yes they are being deleted and not just dissapearing somewhere.' Sorry, but in my opinion, your last post was a bit vague.
Gabez Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Um, well, it’s a bit hard to know exactly what’s going on. Let’s just say that there might have been a, er, security breach, yes. Can't imagine why anyone would want to do something like this, though. :/
RicardoLuigi... Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 The only reason somebody would do this is because they are pissed off at certain people: probably people who seemed to dislike them. someone hacks in, deletes a bunch of stuff because they're mad at people, then stops when they're satisfied. not to start slinging accusations, but who had issues w/me, mariusfinnstun, jacktheblack, and even more people? or maybe just a prankster? one thing has to be, though- SOMEONE did it. it is probably not a virus, because as far as i know, there is no virus that deletes certain people's threads without getting rid of all of them. probably someone who posted one time and some of us jumped on them because they made a dumb comment. and what do you mean may or may not? do you mean you think you know who's been doing this and that you banned them? and that you may have banned the wrong person? btw- does anyone know how many threads have disappeared?
Gabez Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 It's hard to tell what happened, since it doesn't make any sense at all. :/
Joshi Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 as far as i have seen, two whole threads i have replied to have dissapeard and from what i hear, one of the alphabet games has gone missing. that's all i know of what's happened. i persobnally think it's just someone trying to piss everyone off as it isn't directed at any one person. that or a conspiricy to delete all posts apart from his/hers making tghem the richest person in the lucas forums store and utterly humiliating everyone with his/hers vast amounts credits in comparison and eventually ruling the world with virtual credits using sharpened herrings and explosive bunny catchers as a means of defence and offence. no one is safe. but i think it's the first theory, it makes more sense than sharpened herrings.
RicardoLuigi... Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 do you mean my idea? what if i was actually right? i would be completely shocked because i'm never right when it comes to these kind of things. this is almost like the book And Then THere Were None, which i just read for school and thought was excellent. slowly, one by one, specfic threads just disappear out of nowhere due to a raving lunatic's anger fueled by posting once and being wrong. highly unlikely that that's why, but someone did it. *in extremely low theatrical trailer voice* who could it be? and why wouldn't they (in the case of person and not virus) have deleted this thread? probably because they want attention directed towards them, mr. (or ms., miss, or mrs.) unknown. creepy. anywho- would those threads be able to be restored? plus, who would be able to do this except an administrator? cause nobody can just delete threads willy-nilly. unless they hacked in, for some of us a "hackers" or at least would know how to hack into a computer system.
Joshi Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 a good hacker nkows that he/she doesn't have to hack into the system or server, just hak into an admins account (which i think would be relatively easier) and user the admin powers to do such stuff. also, they would olny need to hack into ever admins account, change their passwords without them knowing and rule all of lucasforums. i don't know anyone who would do this (and to you paranoid geeks out there, no it's not me) but it could happen.
RicardoLuigi... Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 that's just plain creepy. actually, that's probably what happened. hey, no more threads are disappearing! or are they? i can't really tell.
Hellbeard Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Originally posted by bucket-o'-mudd Yeah, what happened to the alphabet game thread? I know it got on some people's tits, but I didn't think it was enough to delete the entire thread LoL, Good ol' alpebet thread. I can't believe its still around!
That's me Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 one of the alphabet game is gone missing as far as i know, BOTH alphabet games are gone. there was a new one too. the story game is still there why would someone do this??
DeadEyeDave Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 I am new on this forum ( not on lucasforums btw ) but, i think it was just a hacker..... ( sorry, but i had to reply on the first i saw on this forum )
Joshi Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 dude, long time no see, i'm from escapemi, remember? where ya bin?
