I got an e-mail verifying my password, meaning that someone tried the "forgot password" option for my account. I deleted the e-mail completely (since it showed my password) and changed my e-mail password just to be safe. Probably unnecessary, since my e-mail password is more than twenty characters long, but whatever.

As for news post spamming, there's a flood technique that I saw on one of Creeb's accounts a few days ago, so that's how it's being done. It's kind of hilarious, since all it does is increase loading time by a couple seconds, and can instantly be undone simply by copying a post, deleting it, and reposting it. I got one of those a week or so ago and was bemused at how desperate they were becoming.

I'm back from Poland!

I got spammed too (only accepted comments are visible so you won't see them), 889 comments. Meh... "Delete all" makes the job easier. Every EGB member should have approved comments only on their blogs.

User who spammed you was deleted.

We have to contact Wade (I've seen people getting deleted because of this). We should take discussion about this to our forums (to keep it somewhat organized).

After a long break from Newgrounds, I've returned. Unfortunately, upon my return this whole DD melodramatic bullshit has happened. I'm fairly sure in my account's security, but I've still taken some measures to further protect my account from being infiltrated. I'm going to try and post here more regularly, at least once a week.

One thing I've noticed lately about the Portal however is that it seems 1/3 games submitted now appear to be stolen. While I don't have any irrefutable proof, it just seems fishy to me that accounts that are owned by 13-15 year are created with hotmail, gmail, and yahoo email accounts are pumping out some of the best independent work I've seen. Especially when the game itself appears to be stolen from other Flash game sites like FreeOnlineGames.com. Stolen Flashes are nothing new, but what disturbs me is that they are passing judgment and as far as I can see are unlikely to be removed.

So my question is if anybody has any insight on why this is happening, so I can take the necessary precautions to getting them removed.

Also, hello, how are you all doing? =)

PETA don't last long

I know I haven't been here for the last days, so, TLDR, could someone kindly summarize just what exactly has been going on? That would be a much appreciated help. Thanks.

This is when the BBB comes in handy :D

"2. Attacks on EGB accounts

There have been some attacks on members of the Barracks, ranging from simple userpage comment flooding to attempts at passwords. I, myself, got a notice in my e-mail that showed someone had tried the "forgot your password" option for my account."

There's more info on the BBB, but that sums up everything that happened recently.

Also, welcome back, KingExodus!

Also 2, about Idiot-Finder's post, I just watched the last Harry Potter movie yesterday. I have already read all the books anyway. BTW I didn't like the movie.

Thanks for the updates guys. Anyway, speaking of hacking, apparently, someone tried to hack my account yesterday, and THEY GOT LOCKED OUT! And I still have the same password since I changed it after Porkchop helped me get a medal a while back. I got an email about it, and I know I didn't try three times to login and fail. So that leads me to conclude that my account is safe.

i got a thousand... XD

I was not refering to you in particular some of us EGB memebers only got a few hundred and some got over a 1,000. i changed it so that i would have to allow it to show and guss what happened? I have over 800 comments to approve...i just deleted them all and moved along so that is one solution for now.

Guys, what you have to see on other egb member account is that what accounts are they using to make the 'several comment' i trying to block a few.. but anyway, they will create another accounts just to bother us

Yes i know for a fact that they will make more accounts to annoy us, since they have nothing better to do with themseves. They seem to be using just alt accounts to make all these comments on our userpages and since they are all left with in a minute's time they have to be using a program since theres no way they could leave 1,000 in a minutes time.

I was able to take a look into there forums yesterday after i got locked out of my account becuase they tried to log into my account using the wrong password, i just shut my laptop off and i came back and i found that i could not log in for the rest of the day. Back to what i was saying, i got a look into there forums for a few minutes before i got blocked from useing the forums for a unkown reason

damn, you were attacked...

A poor attempt at best, but i have a strong password that won't be so easy to get since my e-mail i'm now using for Newgrounds has all false information on it so i could not care less if they try to use it against me or not...it's all up to them.

now most of the barracks members have to take care... sounds like all of us are the next target

Yeah I'm going to try it for a bit, if not I will just disable all of my news posts. I really can't be arsed with these guys any more.

It worked for me as explained above, but thats just for now. If they modify there program to click ok for us then that is when i will start to worry about how much they are really capable of doing.

Ah, well, PineappleBlock is in the DD now.
I hope there isn't a merger coming soon.

Happy birthday, SlntCobra!
19 years ago, your parents did things that were probably illegal in their state of residence. And then, 9 months later, a certain NG user that we've all come to know and tolerate was born!

So, EGB, wish him a happy birthday.
:3

shameless plug here. I just finished the template for my new site that has been in the works since my original site bustamaina.com was taken over by a porn company....now i present to you :::it's not doen yet::: http://cybersquatters.moonfruit.com/

Well most spammers belong to several different groups, just because there name ends in clock or some spam group does not mean that they don't belong to otheres. It's just the group that thry joined first.

Yeah do wish him a happy birthday hes one year older!

Anyway, I doubt you will be on, but SC, what did you get for your glorious birthday?

Well, I'm on, and annoyingly enough, my PS3 is still YLODing my ass. So I've gotten 3 heavy duty years of use out of it, something's wrong with the motherboard. So the next best thing for me to do is to buy a refurbished PS3, which is gonna be a bitch, because that means my plans to get a tablet will be put on further hold.

That, and I'm gonna have to transfer all my music from my laptop to my PS3 and replay all my games again just to get back to where I was before. Not to mention get all my porn back. T_T I'll see if I can't find a refurbished 80 GB system or something so I can get the wireless. Or I could just keep the hard drive from my old one. T_T

Damn YLOD.

My 20 GB PS3, may you rest in peace. 2006-2009, He was so young.

Happy birthday SIntCobra. So now you are 19 huh? That is cool, how does it feel to be a day older than yesterday?

Happy birthday 19th SlntCobra . Sucks about your PS3 I have had mine for only five days, I got rid of my XBox360 because of the infamous RROD. Had I keep my first PS3 it wold have been 8 months old. I may change my password to something else the hacks are scary. Did anyone else have trouble getting on to Newgrounds around 5pm? which would be 12ish EST time. It said maintenance. I first noticed when going on to NG Log.

It wouldn't be birthday without a cake!

Happy Birthday, SC! May you have many, many more!

Well guys since we have been doing art related things here such as finding stolen/hateful art I thought it would be a good idea to do it in the official club now. I'm sure some of you will be up to it as I've seen you post multiply art pieces here that have been deserving of deletion.

I remember back when we have voting-bots to worry about.

Too bad not many people in General are aware of the situation.

Ughh, my web logs were hit again by some spammers. I contacted a mod and asked her to delete those comments because they are like 350 and to delete them all manually would take a long time. Do you guys know who do I need to contact to prevent such events from happening?

The Ghost Busters?

Contact Wade.

Hey guys, I just wanted you to know that we recently created an Art Portal Patrol for users who want to help out and make sure the Art Portal is running smoothly. So any of you that might be interested should go poke your head in.

I'm still a new mod so I just wanted to extend my hand and say hello, and that if you see any shenanigans going down in the Art Portal feel free to contact me, or any of the other art portal mods, through PM or on AIM.

Set your profile to accepted comments only, that way if you get spammed, you can mass delete them. Also, Lizzardis has had this problem before, and according to him, that's an easy fix.

Are these two games stolen I don't think they look like they are his the first one?

So guys, who had any bets about when the Regs lounge in General would be locked?

20 pages, eh? Not bad, I predicted it to happen at around 10 to 15 pages. No way was that going to last, no matter how good the intentions of gumOnShoe were.

Wow, I am so happy, thanks byte.

Oh and Phantom, thanks for the condolences. Yea the RROD pops up like 1000 times for every 1 YLOD. FUNNY AS HELL!! But I now have a new 80 GB PS3 that my parents bought me at the expense of me trading in a lot of my PS2 games. T_T I will miss a lot of them.

Happy belated birthday SC! I would have posted earlier but my college is doing orientation for the incoming freshmen and I've been running on 10 hours sleep over 4 days. I was absolutely wrecked, I didn't have the mental energy to do anything. Doing it all again Monday too ^_^

Yeah I just saw that thread, but thanks for the heads up anyway :)
We do somewhat similar things here, like voting fairly and reporting rule breaking submissions, so we can help each other. I love the art portal and I enjoy going there looking for good stuff, but I think that I'm not that active to join there. So right now I think I won't join, I may change my mind in the future but I'll keep an eye on that thread anyway.

I thought it was going to happen. I mean, the General forum itself is a big lounge to discuss about almost everything you want, so such a thing was not needed. Especially because there are a lot of people who visit the General forum regularly, so it would be pretty difficult to keep it organized.
