Nah, that has to be a joke.

It does, doesn't it ... ?

Please tell me this is a joke ...

Please.

PLEASE!!!

Paden, 

Poking, I think actually. As in poking your eyes out.

If I ever doubted my decision to stick with Sims 2 and not switch to Sims 3, that sim convinced me entirely. I'm not risking having anything like that popping up in my game.

What I meant was that if Atwa is behind this then her friendship with Madison would explain why she decided to pick on GSC. He probably didn't have anything to do with it, except to at some point in the past have vented about GSC to Atwa.

And yes, of course she would have had help. The whole theory is that somebody with admin access provided her with information from the unencrypted TSR database. That's what Pescado is referring to when he's talking about a 'rogue agent'.

Well, if the former GSC admin was close to Atwa it could be a motive for why GSC was attacked. I keep thinking that that insulting PM to Scotty practically has Atwa's signature on it.

Interesting discussion about this between Pes and Johan over at MATY, by the way.

Thanks for those nice words, guys. Glad you like it. 

I actually try to make stuff that differs a little from what you mostly get. But I've got to admit that I'm not sure I'd even be able to make a typical Eames chair or an ordinary modern kitchen. I'm not just very good at that kind of stuff.

Anyway, right now I'm wondering if there's a bedroom or a dining set in that Melaka design ...

Hope this doesn't come off too much as bragging. But I haven't made anything new in months and now I've finally finished this new outdoor living set. So I just can't help shouting about it. 



I actually think it's one of the best sets I've ever made. The textures came out really good, only I don't think it shows very well in the pictures. Oh well. Chuck it in your game and see what you think.

I also added a whole new section about my in-game playing neighbourhood Full Moon Valley. There are some unfurnished houses to download, but it's mostly just for looking.

You changed your password at TSR or at GSC?

I’m asking because since the hacker used your password to get into GSC the most important thing would be to establish how he/she got hold of it. 

Try to think: Did anyone else know your GSC password? Or could anyone have guessed it? Those other places you used it, are they secure or could the breach have happened there?

And one more thing: That admin that you fell out with and who then moved to TSR. Is/was he in any way close to or friends with Atwa? I know you aren’t familiar with Atwa, but maybe you could PM Coconut with the name of this admin, and she could let you know if there is any connection between the two. That could be another important clue.

It’s puzzling. So far I don’t see a firm TSR connection, except that what happened at GSC – the name change, the deletion of everything and particularly the PM to Scotty calling him a Gay Pirate Fag – is exactly the kind of thing that Atwa would do.

Scotty, one important clue would be the password you used on GSC. Did you ever use that anywhere else? Ever? Or give it to someone else? Or even just one similar enough for the hacker to guess it? Or would somebody knowing you well be able to guess it?

Glad you're taking a detailed view on this, Pes.

Ok, got that.

But if it wasn't the same as the one used on TSR how could this be a TSR hacking?

I mean, the foundation for all the assumptions of TSR being behind a number of hackings is that they did it with passwords comming out of the unencrypted TSR database. Apparently that isn't the case here.

Well, after reading the thread over at MATY, I find it most confusing. 

Pescado, you might have an answer to this:

Scotty says that he didn't use the same password for GSC as he did for his TSR account. Then how could it have been TSR or a TSR agent that hacked into GSC?

WB, I don't get this either. You say you don't remember what your Simvention password was. Yet in your MSN conversation with nei you say "I can't log into simvention". How do you log in to anything without your password?

You know, I understood absolutely nothing of this remark. Nothing whatsoever.  Cultural divide or generation gap, you think?

Oh man, I am so sticking to Sims 2. This is a farce. 

The one to the left looks absolutely terrified. With good reason I guess.
