Title: **Attention!! Important!!**
Post by: Silvanoshei on February 14, 2003 08:11 pm CST
Most of yesterday and a little bit of today, Particle's server was down. We all know this. However, during this time, somebody created a fake Particle's server with the same name. So, when people looking for Particle's joined that game, the person who made that server instantly had access to the joiner's password.

This is what happened to Jonah. It was not Triton, as we were led to believe. (I myself am guilty of accusing Triton. I apologize to him.) Jonah's character was ruined and I fear other's may soon be.

If you connect to Particle's using the name of the server, instead of faves, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD as soon as you can. The idiot who is responsible for messing up Jonah's character has your password. Again, Triton, I apologize, and spread the word in the server about this. We don't need any other characters ruined.

I made a mistake. The server was called Particle's Temp server, or something along those lines. If you joined that, change your password. (I'd still change my password if you use names instead of faves, anyway, to be safe.)

I hope the admins restore Jonah's ruined character.

Also, be sure to check the forums for any updates if a temporary server is set up before logging onto another *fake* server.

Right.  If one is setup, I'll be sure to post the IP of the server so there is no mistake.

Log files are your friend... Check the servers and it shows his ip when he connected.

i think its time to give out my RPG connection script =).  it does auto-changing passwords when u connect to an "unknown" server and sets your password to what it should be when u connect to a "known" server.

Please note that phpbb has loging of IP's.  When I mentioned that, I presumed HE knew what I was talking about...

He could simply compare the FALSE server's IP address, with the list of IP's for the forum.  Even guests IP's are all in there

Please check my ip first before i am accused of running the fake server.  :roll:

Post by: UnderGod on February 15, 2003 10:17 am CST
INC, shut up..

Jason. One more time.. HOW CAN HE KNOW WHAT THE IP IS IF NO ONE KNOWS THE FAKE SERVER IP
Title:
Post by: GOOD INC on February 15, 2003 10:20 am CST
just asking to be the first in line when ips are checked. no reason to be rude for that simple request now is there?
didnt think so.  :roll:

Post by: Particle on February 15, 2003 10:52 am CST
Actually, I think he was referring to the IP of the fake server, not the IP's logged in the forums.
Title:
Post by: Crash on February 15, 2003 12:49 pm CST
Particle, if the server isn't running a log file, maybe it should be. That way you can check the ip of who was using the character at that time.

Post by: Darwin on February 15, 2003 02:43 pm CST
I am referring to the log file of the person running the false server.  Remember Bub's little nasty server prank?  Same thing.

Post by: eViL on February 15, 2003 03:02 pm CST
guys, read what ozzy wrote and shut up, you obviously have no grasp on reality, so go buy one from wally world.

darwin, that song doesn't help me in the least...
Title:
Post by: EVIL_INC on February 15, 2003 03:28 pm CST
What he means (i think) is that someone should have gotten a ss of the fake server in the server list when you ping the servers. the ip there is what could be matched with those of members on the forum or characters. without that exact fake server ip, we have nothing to compare with the ip's we (admins) have access to at present.
Title:
Post by: Darwin on February 15, 2003 04:07 pm CST
Yeah, thats what I mean.  How did you get back on the forums?
Title:
Post by: EVIL_INC on February 15, 2003 04:16 pm CST
I'm here for the same reason you are. I have as much right as anyone else here to post about the game and other sundry topics.
I' having trouble with my avatar though. it isnt showing up.
Title:
Post by: Silvanoshei on February 15, 2003 04:25 pm CST
You could always just cross-x the IP of fake Jonah with members of this server. Fake Jonah and the fake server are bound to have the same IP.

BING BING BING BING BING!  

Didnt I already say that?
Title:
Post by: UnderGod on February 15, 2003 07:00 pm CST
No because Jonah has tried to connect to her character.. Hence changing the IP

ANd we have no access to character files at this time..
Title:
Post by: Darwin on February 15, 2003 08:27 pm CST
Has it become clear to any of you that Jonah is a "he?"
Title:
Post by: BlAcK-IcE on February 15, 2003 09:25 pm CST
I have an idea..

Put your server down.
Then if the Fake Server comes up..
GET THE IP MWUHAHAHA!!!

You know the rest!

Post by: Darwin on February 15, 2003 09:27 pm CST
Hey, ya know, that is a pretty good idea.

Post by: Seasomeor on February 16, 2003 04:40 am CST
now you'll realize that the person has read this and won't now...

(lol don't worry it's not me... I could show ya my system specs and the ignorance of running a server)
