(copy and pasted from steam chat) "Hey, this is alucard13mmfmj. My forum account log in info does not work anymore. Also, the forum does not recognize the email I use to register so I can perhaps retrieve the password if it was changed. I wonder if someone can send me a new password and let me know what the assclown change the email to (also change it back to alucard13mm@yahoo.com)."
Suggest not aiding privilege escalation / replying to posts or steam messages Suggest leaving to foum mods to deal with / Alucard to secure his shit if legit. Also whilst you might not like Alucard's posts you really shouldn't revel in someone posting as him. IT COULD BE ANY ONE OF US NEXT. OHH NOES.
Despite everything, I don't think Alucard ever did anything so bad as to deserve an outright account hack. Temporary bans? Definitely. Permanent bands? Perhaps. An account hack? No.
Nobody bothered telling him his fourm account is back. I figured I would do it, but sometimes people need to figure things out for themselves.
I told him and gave him a new password on the day he lost his account. It was a lot hassle to sort it out for both myself and Krenzo. Especially dealing with how utterly retarded he is. I will not be impressed if he just forgot the details I gave him, or rather didn't save them.
Steam chat has a save feature, unless your last words were telling to him go fuck himself for making you do that.
Wait, he made an actually intelligent thread before this happened to him... what if that was actually the hacker who wrote that thread?
When the hacker posted here, i was already thinking that he would be a way more interesting forum member than alucard. :D
Who was it? I assumed it was somebody already established here and just thought it was Vulkanis since he is the only person here with a grudge against him.
Doesn't the forum have a feature or resetting other people's passwords/changing the email address? Resetting other user's passwords can be really easy by just replacing the md5 hash for it in the database. But if it's a salted hash then it's not so easy, you would have to look inside the forum's source code to work out how it salts it. So an easier thing to do would be just to change the user's email address in the database (email addresses are almost always stored in plain text) and just have them use the password reset.
