I just want to know. How is it that 1 persons posts the information and 1 person hosts the information and the community discusses it where some say this is bad and some say this is whatever and some say this is the best thing since sliced bread. How is that reflective of the entire community supporting something or being complicit in the posting or hosting of the information? I mean look at Facebook with its frontpage changes, privacy violations, sketchy data mining practices, and straightup falsifying click through rates to its advertisers. No one says, you should get off Facebook or you implicitly support all of these things.
If that were the case every gamer in the world would have to get off whatever EAs digital distribution platform is and never buy there games again, completely on principal.

is there any evidence or proof that this was the result of someone ~hacking~ arm and not, you know, a jaded staff-member archiving the website before they resigned?

I believe whoever posted it stated he obtained the wiki via a php injection? Lemme go look.

Okay well I can't find where Barka may have said that because he's deleted his account and it looks like a good majority of his posts.

Whelp, looks like they might start actively trying to take us down. Quote from Malken: "If anyone feel like they should report that board for either privacy issues (whether it has been deleted or not doesn't really matter) or illegal content (I'm guessing that the publicity of hacked code/personal information would go there) can fill a really quick report there - www.proboards.com/report-abuseIt might lead to nothing but then, it might lead to that board being shutdown (these people would rather err on the side of caution than fully investigating and arguing about the validity of every claims) Have fun!" |

Have the forums been backed up? It'd be a miserable shame to have all this information lost.

if the forums go down i'm just going to spin-off to another site -- keep an eye on armageddonmud.wikia.com for updates if it happens.

Props to Rath tho.
Quote from Rathustra: "Please do not send spurious or untrue reports. As I'm not familiar with the proboards ToS I cannot say whether or not any given forum is in breach of them and trying to bury the forums because proboards won't investigate each report isn't cool. If you do decide to report abuse - make sure it is abuse as defined by the proboards ToS."

So many of you are caught up in this us vs them bullshit, the bad information, the trolling, and now someone has made it personal with an sql injection and a php hack, leaking a document that contained personal information of a select few members of the community. It's not the fact that you now know the history of Luir, or that there's some magickal spirit in cavern x from some plot in 1916, honestly, I don't think anybody gives a fuck about what was taken. The point is that it was taken, dealing with the drama created by these boards is bad enough. Character targeting, player targeting, and the general cult mindset a majority of the players here can't seem to get away from, I've listened while 4 people oocly coached a player on how to suicide in the most hilarious way possible via discord, targetting in particular one of the pc's that got attention on this board. Good for the game? Nope. The boards just grow more and more volatile and now it becomes apparent that it's rewarded by many to do something like this.
If my families personal address and our personal info were given to a website which generally churns based off hate.. I'd be uncomfortable, it wouldn't be fair to leave my family or myself exposed to any further escalation for the sake of a FREE game, especially a FREE game that only me and a couple of others pay to keep available for the public.
I'm not sure what some of you think this might result in, stepping away in defeat and leaving Armageddon locked up with the key under the doormat if you ever decide to take over? Nope. The game will just go away. Poof. Vanished. Fucking gone. It'll just stop existing, guess it's time to decide how you feel about that.
