Possibilty for the Hijacked accounts Full PM-box? Change here!

Wiglaf hijacked and now EvC syays he is. Evc mentioned in his message to orage than someone had control of his email acounts. If so, that is how they could get his Apolyton password. Lost password, press button, it is EMAILED to you; voila. So who is hacking email accounts, ASSUMING both episode are not BS?.

Were it possible I would have expected more than the odd one or two. My money is on wiggy coming up with one of the funniest ever trolls and EVC copying him.

Then again, the idea of Wiggy coming up with anything funny without help does stretch the imagination somewhat.

Overall I suspect its complete BS

When somebody besides an Apolyton Daffy Duck or an Apolyton Cretin is hijacked, then maybe I'll consider hijacking a legitimate possibility.

My account here has not been hacked. Some evil former friends seem to have access to some of my E-mail accounts and are spreading malicious messages because I turned my back on them. But they don't have access to the E-mail account I use for passwords here.

Wiglaf was dreaming.

Both Wiglaf and EVC are trolls, they are just doing this to make a big commotion - and even if they really where 'hacked' the hacker certainly can't be anymore of an nuisance then the original posters.

If someone here obtained access to the email account you used for your Apolyton registration, he could then click on"lost your password" here and it would be emailed to that account.

Of what possible use would a hijacked Apolyton account be?

The real reason for having passwords is to keep the riff-raff off the forum. I remember back 5 or 6 years ago when gaming message forums would often be filled with purile name calling and petty back stabbing.....

OK, this is just one more reason why not counting the posts on the OT is utterly futile.

There's no real evidence of any "hijacking" or anything other than fun and games by perpetual attention seekers.

As for DL's, I can't be arsed to bother unless they're real clear, simple and obvious.

To be honest that might actually be possible. Thanks for the heads up, I'll investigate this possibility personally a little bit more in the coming weeks and days...

Wiggy hurts his own case more than anybody else... He complains, insults people, whines, and then wonders why nobody takes him seriously... Gee, I wonder why

There was NO sign or PROOF of account hacking. And what's really funny was that he started a thread complaining that he was hacked and that somebody changed his password... and even posted a few more things in the thread... while sending me a email asking what his password was... anybody else see the problem with this
