It was spurgeon dragging poor Trucks name through the mud.

Yeah, I was surprised by that.

@Kantor. I was just having a snack and thinking about this, but if John Lucas were a total narcissist, more than we know him to be, then why would he post it anonymously. And another thing that makes me feel like his account was compromised is that this user knew how to post anonymously. Even I after a few years and lots of time on here still don't know how to do that.


Really? not me.

@Kantor. I was just having a snack and thinking about this, but if John Lucas were a total narcissist, more than we know him to be, then why would he post it anonymously? Wouldn't he want to get the glory for his post? This leads me to believe it was done by someone who wanted to hide their tracks.

And another thing that makes me feel like his account was compromised is that this user knew how to post anonymously. Even I after a few years and lots of time on here still don't know how to do that, so this user had at least a basic knowledge of getting around the bugs in this place.

It's a site glitch. It's been done accidentally before, and this one may well have been accidental too.

You're concerned about someone reading your vgchartz pms? Really? What could anyone say that would actually matter?

Its fairly easy to do, posting anon. I wont reveal it here for obvious reasons but if youd like I can pm you how its done.



                            

Well that... that was something alright.

*retreats deeper into the Top 50 Thread*

They can't hurt me here! *sobs quietly*



The site had, probably still has, some security flaws which people like gnac and vgchartzgirl easily exploited.. Its not that hard actually if you know the stuff..
