Namyrr, in case you haven't noticed... your not a mod...

Huh?

Well, I guess you got your powers back.

He always had his powers, but his "default usergroup" was Registered Users for some reason, so he didn't have a green name like the other global moderators.

who the actual fuck spams a mario forum? do they really think that because we like mario we're a bunch of 2 year old idiots?? eh, they're wrong then!

[zlaker]

Apparently only the registered users have been hijacked so I have feeling the Global Mods or the Level Judges will be next

That probably won't happen. We just do not have to focus on those suspicious Links (Check the Announcements!).

What a sad history. It's so unnecessary anyway.

Next time listen to Quill and other staff members when they warn you to avoid clicking suspicious links. Also, if you haven't done this already, reset your email password in case its the same as the forum one.

I got a PM from Rage_Quitter_98, but when it was sent I was sleeping, so I couldn't read. After it was cancelled. I've got also a PM from a user called anonymous, but I couldn't read it too and it was cancelled.

What's up with so much shit happening both here on the forums & on IRC? Some people really have absolutely nothing to do this summer.

My mission this summer is to make my own episode alone. I'm going to give credit to whoever made those graphics that I used.
Also, I agree. Hijackers probably have nothing else to do but to troll other people for no reason.

Listening to staff members is important. Sadly, not all people listens carefully, or even wants to.

I didn't know why many people didn't heed the advice that Quill sent to us all, unless you're completely oblivious to what's been going on in the past few weeks.

Be careful, people! He might ask you to review his episode and give you a fake link! #Sarcasm
I never noticed the .tk part of the suspicious link.

I don't want my episode reviewed. That would be too much reviews, like a level contest or something.
When it comes to suspicious links, don't click anything. Just check anything that seems different.

We ALL didn't.

Lesson learned to those who didn't pay attention to the .tk portion of provided URLs. Make sure to double-check that everything on the site your redirected to is relevant, that's its the actual site and that its safe. I've seen some people out there that are really good at making replica sites. Point of advice, try to use different passwords for everything you use (forums, e-mail, etc. logins), that's what I always stick to.

EDIT: Out of curiosity, were the users accounts who received emails hijacked in a specific order. Like I mean, were only specific users targeted? I never received an e-mail, which is why I'm asking. Was it maybe the users who were active at the time this happened?

What is a .tk?

What is a .tk?

I don't really know what .tk stands for, but it seems to be used for hijackers who makes replica websites.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.tk I think this should help with that question. :p

I just read it. So many people uses .tk for bad reasons. Seriously, 95% of those .tk things are plain scams based on reading the link that you posted.

[Bryan]

Of course they'd all be plain scams. It's an opportunity for people like scammers to fool with people. Come on! They're FREE domains. Scammers & spammers ain't paying crap for it and they can make money and steal information using it. Oh, and some people just click & click around thinking its the actual site. Hm... some of these people make their living on this. These people really have plenty of time to replicate sites, don't they?

[sleepy]

What is a .tk?

also this might answer your question

EDIT: not all .tk domains are used for scams, though. I use mine to shorten my forum urls for the convenience of people.
