I wanted this to be an open forum, but due to the rediculous hacking problem, I am forced to make it a private forum.
I will take the last Role Call and I will only leave those members active, all else will be deleted.
The forum will become private, and only I will be giving out admissions to this forum.
Here's a list of the people who will move on. If the problem persists, we'll know that it's one of them:
Arsenal Gear The Mad Jackyl Econs Otty Black Snake The Dumpster Keeper Anthony Fox Die Liquiduz Fox(id) Solidest Snake Pepe
All other accounts will be deleted. Stay tuned for the changes.

Would this be the roll call thread? I haven't been around in awhile, this is actually the first time I dropped by in a couple weeks, and I see this ... what the hell's going on here?

Don't worry, I kept your account active.
The deed is done, there are only 14 accounts open right now. I will do more checking. No new accounts can be open unless I ok it.

A lot. But I know Black Snake and when he as problems, I know there are major issues. I know he would not make sh*t up or mess up himself.
So, now the MGF forums will be private. For the official work, check the site.

Did some poking around the forums ... this is one of the most bizarre things I've seen, I'm part of several forums and I've never seen anything like this, anywhere ...

Basically, you have someone (and the suspect list is huge) that enters the forums and deletes accounts. Someone found a way to log in as the member he targets and delete his account.
I srongly recomend that all of you start a new account (mods excluded). As of right now nobody can even see this forum without my approval, registered or not.
I really suggest you guys do this to protect yourself.

I don't think I've ever done anything that would cause anyone to do that to me - I wasn't part of [creepy little bastard]'s forums, or any other MG forum besides Snake Soup where I posted maybe twice; I never bashed anyone on here with the exception of one person, one time, and I had good reason, and while I don't remember exactly who it was I don't remember there being any animosity between us; and while I've been here a long time I'm not a widely-known or respected member due to the fact that I don't post a whole hell of a lot - I'm in no position of power whatsoever, that is.
Then again, I'm sure the other people this has happened to have thought the exact same thing. I won't delete this one right now, but I'll start another one, with a slightly different name so you'll recognize it, then I'm going to bed cause it's 1:30 in the morning here ...

I'll activate your new account, but please get rid of this one. The less accounts we have, the less we have to worry about.

It had to be done.

The fact is, we had well over 160 accounts. And who knows, it could be someone we forgot about it. This way, we'll have a select few, TESTED members. This will mean that it will be up to EVERYONE to keep the forum going. The newbies will be gone, so it's up to the vets.

Ah, I see - well, the old account's gone. I wish I coulda thought of a better "different" name, a more original one, but I was just too tired. Still am, but that's beside the point. I'll be coming around here more often, too.

It's up to you. You feel it's secure now?

Seems there was no other way to fight this problem. It's sad how things like this have to happen. But don't get me wrong, I'm fully behind this. It's just a shame to see MGF in a state like this...
