The site was just down a few hours ago and they had to do a rollback? What happened?

I heard there were some hacking going on...

You can't be a mod without being a top-ranking member of a large circle jerker.

You can't be a top-ranking member of a large circle jerker without sharing your passwords, bank info, and SSID with other top-ranking members of the large circle jerk.

i read she did share her account with other users even if not rednose, isnt that like a super bad thing to do as an admin?


i'm not even mod or anything but i know that's just a no no

maybe we should stop clicking on everything


it's not that simple as it can be done in a variety of ways, in the past we've seen it done via XSS in setup descriptions and profile biographies, and it's pretty hard as a mod to not visit anyone's profile or check setups

real problem now is what should we do to not get hacked



heivil says

Maybe all mods should change their passwords to strong ones?


it's a tough problem to combat and will probably always be an issue unless lucid seriously beefs up epicmafia's security

charley is temporarily deadmined while site security risks regarding her account are assessed, hopefully nobody is too inconvenienced by this occurrence

fact checked story above: charley did not give rednose her password, she was hacked

The story I was told is that (now ex) admin Charley gave rednose, a known doxer troll and bad person, her password. He banned all of the mods and owners and a few others from the site and changed backgrounds to X rated things and deleted reports etc, hence the rollback
