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..

Back in the day Oyvoyvoyv had fun at the site's expense... only to be permabanned for almost breaking the site. A hero that we need, but don't deserve. *salutes*

@Padib

No issues. Just that this community can drive me absolutely bonkers from time to time.

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

A lot people showed their true colors in that PM.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Everything that connects to the internet can be hacked; you just have to find someone knowledgeable and with enough interest to do so.

Was it really hacked or did someone just copy paste the PM into the forum?

In this private message chain JohnLucas just included someone who wasn't really much of a fan of his. Just an other bad judgement call from him.
