SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
Okay, I'm sure by now you've noticed that most of the member profiles were erased by someone. We need to find out who it was so they can be punished. It was either a mod or an admin, and I doubt an admin would do this. Please, if you have a backup of your profile, e-mail it to me at tuxedowarfox@aol.com and I'll post it back up on the Member's board. I seriously don't know what's happened, but we need to get this fixed asap. If you know anything, reply the info to this post. Please don't reply asking questions, because I don't know what happened. Only reply if you have some info so we can catch the punk who did this.
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
Hmmmmm....do you think it could be a hacker???? Just guessin but I can't figure it any other way...well I don't know what too say but I'll be out for a while my computer is really weird when I go on the net so the WPP's I currently can't do until this prob is fixed....bye!
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
I don't know who did it, but they probably followed a pattern of deleting allthe member profiles that have been added or edited within the last two months. I need to know when this happened to back the theory up.
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
I wrote these down. They are on Microsoft word 3.0 and it doesn't interface. I have 21,500 dollars, a Flareon, an eevee which I am evolving in the pokemart, kadabra, Ivysaur, Bulbasaur, Wartortle, Charmeleon, 6 Chansey, (I sold one, and bred one), 6 Lapras, an Onix, a Graveler, 2 Ponyta, 2 Growlithe, a Vulpix, Abra, Slowbro, Raichu, Electrode, 2 Magnemite, a Voltorb, Tauros, 2 Doduo, 2 Fearow, Caterpie, Bellsprout, Haunter, Slowbro, maybe a few others (this only has the pokemon I wrote down and is slightly inaccurate)

Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
I have a theory that whoever did this is one of the people who did not get their member stats deleted. They would have deleted all of the members except their own, but that would be too obvious. So, they left some of them, with their own name in the jumble. That way, they would never be detected. This is just a theory, so don't stick to it.
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
Hmmm, that seems accurate enough. Deflare, if you have Sherlock Holmes novels, I suggest you start brushing up on being a detective. You and I should start researching the databases in Members. See where they have all been recently. I don't know who did it, but they probably are keeping a low profile (you know, not going anyplace.)We can then put an IP block on him/her and be rid of him/her forever.
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
My Theory For Catching Whomever It Was Is To Look At The IPs Logged For Chilly Blue And Find The One(s) That Do Not Seem To Be Similar To The Others And Ban That IP. It Is Possible That The Odd IP Is The Culprit And That The IP Will Also Ban That Culprit
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
Oh! and I also have a lead suspect. It is Dai Lien. S/he's the only one on the RPG who could have had her Members page stats deleted and still have his/her stats intact.

Internet Protocol Address. Every Internet-Connected Computer Has One And Sites Can Detect Your Computer By Recognizing It. It Is Basically A Computer's Street Address.
One Site Describes An IP Address As The Following:
"Every computer on the internet is identified by a unique number called an IP address. Each time you connect to the Internet your machine is assigned an IP address. If you have a static IP address you get the same number each time you connect. If you have a dynamic IP address a number is assigned from a pool if addresses maintained by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) on a first-come basis. Thus you can get a different IP address each time you connect."

DRAGONCHU, YOU ARE A GENIOUS! Asok, check Dai's IP. If she logged on between the 7/23 and 7/30. And I think it happened the 24th or the 25th.
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
Wait A second here, Actually it may have been Dai, Dai may have actually fixed a timed Command onto your account somehow, If so, then we are dealing with a good hacker.
Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM! EVERYONE READ!
I Can't Check Dai's IP, Only Admins Can Do That (It Is Stored In The Control Center)
