Staff forums are public now.

Nothing interesting however. I was hoping for something like "OK GUYZ, I AM THE GUY WHO ACTS AS THE ZCLO GUY". or "OK GUYZ LETZ BAN..."

but no. Just old news, and e-mail mystery. Speaking of... I did get a strange e-mail just before the boards went Baggins.

Many people got that email.

Yep, I did. Who sent it? My first impression was zzo38, based on the numerous spelling errors.

I'm pretty sure it was just somebody imitating the Zclo people.

The hacking was very nightmarish for me. I didn't get to read the staff forums because this place was all weird with giant black-on-black text and horrible slowdown.

Here's another oddity: The only choices for board style now are SubSilver and X-men, and X-Men looks exactly like SubSilver. Also, it's impossible to change the main page style.

wow, the boards went to hell and I was still here. Normally, you people wait until I disappear again to nuke the place in a firestorm of... baggins...

God fucking DAMMIT! This better have been some freak accident, although the Zclo e-mail makes me think otherwise. Whoever's doing this, CUT IT OUT. Forum-related shit is bad for the community, the slump in new games has been even worse since the last forum purge; things are slower than they were a year ago, even though something like half of the recent uploads are old titles.

Yeah, I've been playing the final mission in Advance Wars 2 lately, so I've been angrier than normal. At least the post counts weren't touched, big fucking deal that is. And why did all the polls survive? Losing old threads sucks, but the world hasn't ended so I guess I'll get over it eventually, but still... fuck.

I was online when the boards got screwed up. Appearently, the one that did it must be an admin/super mod or something, and are a "hidden" member. I saw all the chaos... First, it was X-man theme all the time, someone edited the word filter to edit almost every word into BAGGINS, then, all colors where set to black, all text became microscopic besides the FAQ, Search, Memberlist (and so on...) links above. Also, (this have been for almost a week) the forum descriptions are in german, and someone have deleted tons of topics from the ZZT Gen. forum (Not sure about Clones) and deleted whole the Companies forum... At some point, the (i think) staff forum became visable and readable (besides the words)...
