It's also probably worth noting that TSR has, many times in the past, sent over individuals who've attempted to manipulate the course of our conversations and/or derail threads altogether. NeptuneSuzy, Solander(?) and that emo guy are three that I recall offhand. Even though they failed miserably, it still proves that someone in charge over at TSR is pretty hellbent on fucking with us in exactly that manner.  Given that, it's reasonable to assume that if Thomas thought that johan (who is, after all, his brother and has a vested interest in TSR's bottom line) is somehow capable of making headway here, then he'd exploit it for all it's worth.  

Maybe you should have gone "method" for this role and peed your pants. Slapping a few spectators would have also given them a pretty good idea of what simming is all about (and what it's like dealing with EA, for that matter). -

These are the same people who've only recently thought it might be a good idea to begin encrypting passwords. These are also the same people who thought it an acceptable practice to share the personal information of certain TSR members with their mods and featured artists (people they do not feel it necessary to run background checks on) without ever considering the consequences, or even the likelihood of a backlash.

Yeah, an exceptionally bright bunch over there.

As their committee researches an answer, I'd just like to mention that I can't wait to bring up what I just learned about wizards and data base vulnerabilities at the next party. Maybe now I'll finally be able to impress the tech crowd who are always hanging out in the basement listening to Interpol.

LOL- Actually, it is very strange that you aren't taking any sort of precautions. Especially considering your story about how accounts on TSR had been hacked into not all that long ago.  In fact, not only is it strange, but it's also kind of pathetically lax on your part.  It's almost as if your admitting that you never really had anything to worry about at all.


Well, actually you were lying seeing how it was never changed and you claimed that it would be. See how that works, johan? When you claim that something which isn't true ...  LOL- oh, never mind.


LOL - Duh. Your motivation for lying would be much greater than Pescado's considering the little pixel empire you and your family have going on. By the way, judging by your recent activity, you really are MUCH more interested in this conversation than he is.


Rude? No worries there. Personally, I don't think TeamJohan has enough personality to pull off rude. But hey! You guys do a great boring and manipulative!

You'd think, huh? Pair this little gem -


 - with their encryption debacle and, any way you look at it, TSR comes off looking pretty fucked up. They're either desperate liars or hopelessly incompetent idiots.

LOL - The only witch hunt occurred at TSR and was spearheaded by your brother. We have the screencaps to prove it.  And don't even start blathering on about how you've "already admitted" to sharing people's info, because you seriously had NO FUCKING CHOICE in the matter once coconut made the disclosure and forced your hand.

Now, in case anybody needs to catch up, johan is affiliated with TSR. He only shows up whenever TSR is reeling from another coconut-induced crises. His only purpose in coming here is to discredit coconut and maybe see if he can get some info that might help them discover his/her identity. And for the record, whether or not he's being "fairly civil" while he's attempting to do it really is beside the point.

Still want to give him the benefit of the doubt? Consider this - Every time someone downloads from the TSR section of the Booty, it's costing his family's "fansite" money. There's a bit-o-evidence for you.


edit - just read lorikay's post and she pretty much went there first - 

Okay then, echohan. Maybe the two of you should get a room. -  

Please, don't tell us what we can and cannot bring up. Not your site. Got it?

Huh, johan and echo showing up at the same time?

I guess that all depends on what you consider "messing with people's lives" constitutes, moune. If I were, say  WB, and had to spend hours (possibly days?) attempting to reconstruct my online accounts then, yes, I'd say that my life had been "messed with".  ROYALLY. I've also talked to a couple of those people from the list and they do feel violated (or "messed with"). 

If someone doesn't believe that those screenshots were faked, then one can surmise that they might believe that Thomas and many of the mods and FAs over at TSR took part in sharing the personal information of members from that site (members who had broken NO laws).  Coconut supplied those screenshots. Coconut also supplied the latest information about information sharing. Why is it such a stretch to believe that coconut would be correct AGAIN about Thomas and Co. sharing personal information AGAIN?

I love how people are rolling in here saying we don't provide proof. Coconut screen capped what? AROUND A THOUSAND EXAMPLES OF TSR SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION? But nope, the only thing that they'll apparently believe is a signed confession from Thomas himself.

Good luck with that.


(Thanks for bumping the link, missangelica. You so rock.)

That really is the best approach, minions. This one always seems to show up when Thomas' ass is on the line.

You could be right. -  Still, his admission shows that he has no qualms about sharing people's information if he perceives that it's in his best interest.
