Buds The Man Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 [quote name='kriekfreak' date='15 July 2010 - 05:05 PM' timestamp='1279227903' post='2373465'] I suspected that this was done by one of your guys, I'm not sure which joke was lamer, the former from Xiph or this. [/quote] Kriek this was never put out by any of us to my knowledge, I dont know how goons found out about it. I will admit i contemplated using it and before I ever decided one way or the other Goons posted this thread. At that time I just let it ride and then jerked a couple of chains. I believe our server admin was trying to be funny as the boards were being closed i just ran with it a bit once it started going. If i didnt take the oppurtunity I would have regretted it.

steviewonder Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 It would have been a lot funnier had it been done in language that goons would use, but well played nonetheless I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardonic Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 [quote name='Buds The Man' date='15 July 2010 - 03:46 PM' timestamp='1279226763' post='2373421'] Yep it is because we are currently taking the PU boards down. No one hacked the forum nor was there any malicious actions taken against any of the AAs on that board. This was brought to my attention this morning by other purple leaders and I texted our server guy and was informed of it being a joke and that he had done it. I informed purple gov about it and asked them to keep quiet for a bit as I thought after all that has occured a little pay back would be ok. I would like to thank Bros for offering to help early one when this was brought to the OWF by the Goons. Sardonic im sure you already knew about this no hard feelings. Honestly i was impressed with your response and good show on handling it. [/quote] Yep, thought so, see you at update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamuella Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 so basically what we've learned from this is that in a circumstance like this, GOONS will be incredibly grown up and do everything they can to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamuella Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 you're right. Us offering to do anything we could after we saw there was a problem just proves what duplicitous monsters we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iserlohn Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Heh, figured it was connected with Valhalla as a counter-prank, but accusing people on OWF is generally pointless and counter productive. Couldn't be a goon, seeing as how that sort of terrible leetspeak would earn a ban first time they used it on our boards.

[/quote] GOONS, contrary to apparent public opinion, generally handles diplomatic incidents with panache, thanks to the efforts of (in no particular order) Sardonic, Beefspari, Biazt, ktarthan, nippy, and many more. In fact, if you count the end of the UjW to be the effective endpoint for Neutral Shoving, I'd like to point out the current GOONS has actually been around [b]longer[/b], due largely to their efforts.

Mirreille Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I am going to go against the grain and say this wasn't funny at all and more then a little annoying. No harm done so no foul, but having to scramble to let people know about the possible security breach wasn't enjoyable at all. Bud, please kick the server guy for me. Also I appreciate the GOONS swift response and Bros for offering to help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColwynMyself Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I haven't read all of this, just a few posts. And while we may have our differences GOONS, I have to say whoever hacked you is just an unfortunate human being. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
