  1. kill someone's gaming server! lol...happened a few years ago, but on front page today locally:

     

    Taken from: http://www.ohio.com/news/94228709.html

     

    A former University of Akron student faces criminal charges of hacking into the university's computer system to launch Internet attacks against computers.

     

    Mitchell L. Frost, 22, of Bellevue, is charged with one count of causing damage to a protected computer system and one count of possessing 15 or more unauthorized access devices. The offenses carry up to 15 years in prison and fines up to $250,000.

     

    Authorities say the case stems from incidents between August 2006 and March 2007 while Frost was enrolled at UA as an undergraduate student.

     

    Prosecutors say in one instance Frost hacked into the computer servers in the university's library on March 14, 2007. That caused the university's entire computer network to crash for nearly nine hours, preventing about 23,000 students, faculty and other staff members from accessing the network.

     

    UA said it can't place an estimated cost to loss of computer access on the campus. But it did say the expense of bringing the system back online was more than $10,000 for intervention and repair.

     

    The U.S. Attorney's Cleveland office said Frost's intended victim was not the university but rather a gaming server that is housed within the same network.

     

     

     

     

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Kern said computer logs maintained by the university show Frost used the campus servers to access control of numerous computers and other networks both in the United States and abroad.

     

    When UA discovered its servers had been compromised, officials say, they called the United States Secret Service and the FBI for further investigation.

     

    ''He [Frost] would flood the system with a high volume of communications and the attacks would disable the [outside] computers,'' Kern said. ''He intentionally infected and took control of various computer networks using BotNet, a network of robot computers taking control of Web sites on the Internet . . . making the computers do things owners didn't know about.''

     

    Mitchell is also accused of fraudulently obtaining user names and passwords and stealing personal identification and financial information, including credit card numbers.

     

    Kern said Frost also ''chatted'' with others concerning illegal activities that involved the collection and distribution of credit card account information used for fraudulent commercial transactions.

     

    The case has been assigned to federal Judge Lesley Wells in Cleveland.

     

    No court date has been set.

  2. I am gathering a group to attend the Warrior Dash in Joliet, IL....on June 20th (arrive on June 19th).

    It's nothing but random mayhem..but does require some readiness....read about it...but it's gonna create some lifelong memories for me and some others!

     

    Reply here after you've given it some thought! I've got a Facebook group setup for those that are committing to go....and we're reserve our spots after we have 10 people (we're at 4 now).

     

    PS. We are totally dressing like warriors, btw..just have decided the genre.

  3. Back in the day, we had a plugin or function that reserved our names....

     

    I was just in our stats: http://gc.hlstatsx.com/search?q=Fatty&si=players&rc=css2&find=Search

     

    Now, I only have the one steamid....and I just noticed two others! What's that mean? Someone playing as me? Could have been years ago, I don't know how long we have on those stats....just seemed weird.

     

    I'm trying to think of a time I would have played on someone else's computer or account, but can't recall any situation where that would be true....

     

    Be on the lookout!

  4. Disregard...I searched. "One Wasted Peklz .gc"

     

    There was a time when this would be a complete no-no. However, we've obviously let up a bit, which is great. But don't come in here calling me on swear words wearing that name...fo real.

     

    Am I really posting on gcftw defending myself????

  5. Here's the summary:

     

    Amertrash: I was a victim

     

    Fatty: I was insulted

     

    Stutters: It wasn't warrented

     

    Others: Overreaction

     

    Fatty: So I wasn't insulted?

     

    --------

     

    Peck, yes, you missed the context. Anything I said or did last night was all in fun, and you sure know it, so don't try to bullpoop around and make a comparison. Amertrust's comment was DIRECTLY a response TO ME with an ATTITUDE. You're trying to compare exclamations to direct names. Awwwww truck is not the same as you trucker. Nor is it the same when I call Clueless a bastard because he snapped off a fade-away headshot.

     

    What in the hell have we come to that instead of someone who namecalls thinking, "wow, did I offend you? If so, I didn't mean to"....to "I WAS ABUSED IT WAS UNFAIR", and the public runs to their aid. Wait, this is the world as we know it right?

     

    Peckles, what was your handle in the server last night? Remind me.

    --------

     

    Just last night, with 3 hours of laughing while gaming I was thinking it was fun to be back. This part, while somewhat familiar, has definitely evolved since I've been away. I've seen the claim of abuse, time and time again....for 11 years..... but never the undermining. I guess some are in need of side-shows.

     

    (my longest post in 3 years)

     

    Ok, I'm not going to let this tarnish my desire to get the server hopping again, and I do not see the need to repeat myself in this thread anymore. I'm not going to say the word context again. I'm not going to try to teach a lesson in The Eye of the Beholder....cause it's not sticking....

  6. do you think kicking someone was the most effective way of getting your point across?

     

    yes

     

    I don't need a lesson in public-advocacy. Search the banned threads for all my quick hits and non-tolerance during our years of growth...but for each one of those, there are 10 examples of how I put our gamers' entertainment and fun on the top of the list.

  7. mmmkay. I've never seen anyone kicked without a warning(even people blatantly breaking the rules) , muchless kicked for rejoining right way. Not to mention I had person on my friends list talking to you that said you'd unban me if I "apologized".

     

    Koreanheat...and you need him to read and relay better because I never used the word "unban" because there was never a ban. However, you were correct in quoting the word "apologize" as I did use it, but I'm not sure why you put quotes around it in this setting...is it a foreign concept now?

     

    @ Stutters: This had zero to do with light hearted fun...that's all I bring. Anyone that plays with me can attest to that. What I do find interesting is that while Amertrash may be a great guy and a server regular, the direct context is being overlooked and at the same time the responsibility seems to be on me to interpret being called a name in a different way. You don't call someone names that you have no relationship with, nor is calling names the best foreplay for a relationship.

     

    And finally

    I've never seen anyone kicked without a warning(even people blatantly breaking the rules)

    This means admins aren't acting quick enough, but instead promoting drama and distraction (especially if it's blatant rule breaking)

  8. I will be donating something here, and I'll also be sending out an email that draws more attention to this. Let's see if we can't send a few hundred dollars to this doctor, maybe $10 at a time??

     

    I haven't worked the community over for RFKC funds for a year or two...and we would hit $1,000 easy with your hearts...so let's gather a few hundred bucks here...

     

    I'll pledge $25 of my own personal money. Who's next?

  9. I almost ripped on Clueless and his reading comprehension...but I didn't need to. Wait, I just kinda did.

     

    Dunlavy, I'll be there. SJ and your list never were there....Ebil will be there. Some of the people that go are so old school that they don't even play the old games except for once per year, just because it's now written into their soulz.

  10. Exactly. I kicked him exactly twice.

     

    <turns to trash>

     

    1st kick was for calling me a doofus.

     

    2nd kick was for getting back in so fast that you weren't going to miss a round....

     

    I was watching for you to rejoin. I don't need your resume' or good behavior log, I just require that you don't call me names.

     

    thx
