The hacker is kikme, also known as Hosamov on the http://www.sharpmail.co.uk forums (which is a prankmail service).

proof.
I wouldn't want anyone ruining this site :)
I doubt little kikme could have caused enough damage to "ruin" this place, but thanks for confirming most people's suspicions. :)
thank you for bringing this up
can we finally ban kikme?
I know this for for definate. The prankmail service is soo easy to use that even a no-brainer like kikme could use it.
i was browsing a site when I came accross a link to the sharpmail site, I went on the forums and read through some posts when I came accross the post. I doubt the ppl here are dumb...he's just a n00b.
You could ban him ._. but he can come back..
He could never cause any harm anyway. Thanks for telling us, that is if this isn't yet another clever joke.. ;)
can't these forums ban ip addresses? I wanna see him gone. I used to come to these boards like 8 months ago and i'm an a point-and-click junkie and I don't want anyone ruining the boards like what happened to some of the gamefaqs boards...

I KNOW for definate. The prankmail service is soo easy.
Type the emails, type a fake email and write a post. He could easily do this. Plus he even said on the other boards...
I'm sorry if I was a bit unclear, let me rephrase:
I know it was kikme now, thank you very much for telling us.
The thing I doubted was, that this... "event" could have done any real damage. It was just a prank, and would probably have been forgotten in a week or so, when kikme would have become bored with it. :P
whats kikme's email? he deserves a double dose of what he's caused.
i don't mean to sound rude or anything, but... these seem to be your only 4 posts, so i just have this niggling suspicion that you are kikme being dumb. No wonder no-one likes him...or...you.
but its nice to know i was quite right.
I'm the man? *Jimi checks so i am!
Jimi, you the man!

awe poor squinky! kikme doesn't like you!
i bet you feel so sad now
w8, I have an old account...
see? an account I used for like 5 mins lol, cant find my really old 1.
it reads that I joined on 17 Feb 2003 so this isn't a fake account.
i just find it stupid that you've answered a problem, even though you've only just registered, and that you've been surfing these "nob-end" forums. I just think you're kikme. prve me wrong, by all means. but, in kikme's case, he's guilty until proven innocent.
it doesn't bother me if you believe me or not, I'll leave the forums if I am not welcome. I just heard about the problem and wanted to help.
Sorry if you don't trust me, but I haven't got any other proof, if ip addresses are logged here, you can ask cj if our ips match.
btw, just for a selfless plug, visit my site if you want: http://www.spike-domain.net/gamingfusion/
i'm not saying you're not welcome..if you behave. its just strange. AND you could be using another pc/internetconnection.
Jimi. Your assumptions are entirely groundless. Stop talking.
QuoteSo, it's pretty obvious now that whoever is behind this little scam is a complete retard under the impression that they're being really clever and cunning with what they're doing.

Oh for a ban-ip button.
I can't think of any guys that would remember me here...unless there are some guys from adventuredevelopers.com who come here.
Yeah Jimi shh. Maybe you're kikme ... This is just like "The Thing"
What the hell are you talking about Mods?!
Jesus stop freaking everyone out.. I mean
HSHFD!!11 JRKKKL!L!!L! GAHHH!!!!
*eric things out and eats mods
Or maybe everyone go onto my website ;) oh well, I should've known better than to get involved. It's not like it's the first time, the people at the fire pro wrestling board on gamefaqs thought I was "steve" (a rom save begger) because I had a new user.
ok, i'm going to arolopise for suspecting you, but i'm still suspicious. but i guess you could have just tried to be helpful. Good on you for finding out who that was, though.
Don't mind Jimi, he's pretty dumb.
I for one appreciate Ravenfusion for letting us know and I don't believe in any way that he's kikme. If I see a post on that prank board from kikme saying "OMG now I am pretending to be someone who told on me i am so funnee!!1!" THEN I'll suspect him. But until then, welcome (back, I suppose) ravenfusion. Thank you for helping us.
It was a bit dam stupid off that idiot to post wat name he was using :)
My little sis could have done a better job..
EDIT:: Some lovely spam going on down there.. any1 else up for some?
thanks ravenfusion. I didnt think kikme would do anything so...planned out, sicne he was a moron. I guess thats just showed how he never changed.
why would kikme pretend to be a the dude who told on him? thats retarded
Am I the only one who is going to point out that anyone could register as Hosamov on that site? I'm not saying I don't think it is him however I don't find this to be definite proof that he did it.
But fuck it, ban Kikme. Or as I always suggested- call his parents.
Right, to clear this up, ravenfusion is definately
not kikme. Kikme/Hosamov is in China, ravenfusion is in the UK. Jimi, please try to be less suspicious.
Thanks for bringing that post to our attention ravenfusion. :)
QuoteBut fuck it, ban Kikme.
You know, I'm starting to agree with you. This forum has been going 3 years and I have never banned anybody, but there is only so much childish and annoying behaviour we can tolerate, so I may well resort to a ban.
Phone his parents, that's worse ._.
Can we start a poll where to vote if banning Kikme or not? Eeeer... wait... there´s no need for that, I have the results. 100% AGSeres agree Kikme out! ;D
Forget jimi. Thanks for telling us this. Don't worry about the community.
Well, that gives everyone a reason to ban him. People wanted to ban him before and now he sealed his fate, so in a way all this is good.At least I knew all along ;D ;D ;D!
I remember the Raven dude from a while back (I recall his other avatar and username). Thanks for letting us know. VERY cool of you.

awe poor squinky! kikme doesn't like you!
i bet you feel so sad now
Yeah, It tears me apart...heh
I already wrote this damn reply, but my browser screwed up...
What I typed before basically added up to: me not being real big on "ganging" up on some guy, you know, the mob mentality, but this kid deserves it...
Makes me wonder why he always does stuff like this, and always gets caught, though....I'm thinking its a desparate cry for attention....maybe his parents didn't love him enough...
anyway, I think you shouldn't ban him, just give him a custom title of "deuchbag supreme" cause damnit, if anybody deserves a custom title like that, he does....
We've seen the evidence.
He has threatened several AGS users (even as a prank, it's still a threat).
Ban him.
No sensible member on this community deserves such treatment.
TRACK HIM DOWN! TRACK HIM DOWN!
Just send Courtland "Hitman" Leksutin or anyone who lives near to Hosamov's place to treack him down!
...well I think I'm the one who lives nearest to him... :p
I noticed the message underneath where your avatar is supposed to be, Gil! ;D
I would enjoy it if someone accidentally emailed me his IP address... ::)
eh,
-junc
Ban him if you like, but I like cj's attitude so far by not banning anyone,
even if this fella has been spamming, being childish, a friggen moron, It has obviously been something interesting, that has caused many an interesting topic, and just face it, if kikhos was banned, we would never know what he'd come up with next.
As much as evey one has no respect for him, his little entries create a little bit of joy to the community, maybe in a sour way, but still, everyone seems to jump on the bandwagon.
I just say let him be, being him must suck enough.
I could do without all his "interesting" activities.
Especially if it causes problems for other AGSers.
Kikme has had many second chances.
That's my opinion.
There have been many intresting suggestions on how to deal with kikme (i like trhe one where we track him down and kill him, or tell his parents) but its now up to the mods to decide what to do with him. i would like to hear what kikme has to say about this. ;)
Ban him from this forum first, if he has something to say, he will post in this forum.
Wait... I thought of another possibility. Now, I'm NOT accusing anyone of anything, but merely speculating. I find it a bit convenient that kikme openly bragged about tricking us on some site and that ravenfusion stumbled across it. Kikme is an easy target to be framed. Perhaps ravenfusion is the real 'hacker'...? I'm not accusing you, buddy, but it isn't too farfetched a theory... and I wouldn't want Kikme to be banned for something he didn't do (ok, maybe I would, but still... :))
then why would kikme report those post as offensive to the moderator? And it is odd how he suddenly appears when this stuff starts happening....
QuoteI just say let him be, being him must suck enough.
;D Timosity I can't keep from laughing.
I say we tell his mommy and daddy.... btw has anyone figured out his IP address? If we can find out who mommy and daddy are we can sue them. :)
I'll dig up his family's webpage, I know he has one. I'll take back the webspace I lent him and give it to someone who deserves it(he doesn't even use it, the prick) I'll call his parents. I'll make his life HELL! Honestly, he pisses me off. I got him some webspace and all he does is put his links on it. His parents have to know.
His parents' number is actually listed on that website, but even if it's been removed- we can easily Public Domain the Coales and tell them to encourage their son to pursue more productive activities- namely those which do not require a computer and DO require a social life.
who knows the URL for their site? I think someone posted it before. Maybe we should let Mr and Mrs Coale know what their son was up to. Maybe they will trow the computer away so he won't disturb AGSers ever again.
it's pretty easy to find.
http://chinacoales.steadynet.com
it's no business of mine, really, but i suggest that you just send an e-mail to his dad. it's more efficient than banning the kid and you don't have to call his parents (unless you just wanted to scare him off...).
Hm....why is the address at the bottom of that in Washington? o_O Might be thier US address. The phone number looks like a US one too.
No thoughts on the banning, except that it certainly was not 'interesting' and I don't think he brought 'joy to us'. At least not those who recieved the emails.
I often remember Kikme saying he was from Washington, and his family moved to China temporoarily (probably for his parents work or something) so that sounds right to me.
edit: I think deep down people still like the idea of having someone to take out some frustration, sure some people who got emails, might feel bad, but how much other spam is more annoying,
kik him out, or don't, personally, I don't give a shit
QuoteOriginality (Default sprites are acceptable. Ripped off Final Fantasy music is not. If you use completely original graphics and sounds you will definitely get a perfect score in this section): {0/5}
All RTP. Bad RTP. Horrible RTP. With default monsters and default music as well. As in, the default monsters and music that every game starts with, not just the same graphics and tunes. Objectively I should probably give it at least 1 point for using the RTP in such an odd way, but that's sort of like praising Hitler for using human skin to make lampshades.
Extra Joy (A separate category reserved for that extra special spice that is sometimes found in really good games. If you do something I've never seen before that really impresses me the points will be tacked on here): {0/5}
I may never be able to experience joy again. Every single happy event of my life will somehow be undercut with memories of having played I Live Forever!
This reviewer is very funny. It seems the AGS community won't be missing out on much if we ban kikme.
Where's that review from, Helm?
The question is, by banning kikme - will another member who has the same address disapear too? Doo dee doo doo!
I mean, what if AndyPenis got banned! Who'd go too - DGMACHPHEE!!!!!!1

Junc linked to it on page 2 DG. It sure sounds like something he would make. If he only he would team up with the RPGcreator guy. A match made in heaven.
Thanks for letting us know raven.
I second the idea of giving kikme a custom title rather than banning. Heck, why not make the "I'm with stupid" gif show up in his signature.
QuoteOK, either somebody is trying to discredit the AGSers as a group, or those few AGSers who *are* complete idiots (they exist, sadly) are posting all this crap. Either way, stop. Shut up. I hate you.
If DarkStalkey didn't write that, I'll be damned.

You wish. ;)
From the one time he was on IRC at the same time as me, I have this:
[ 01:40:55 ] Joins: Hosamov (vscript@61.159.247.93)
Dunno if that's a proxy or his true IP or what...
Stop worrying about him people. If you worry about every single idiot you ever meet you will die of stress. Just forget the f*cker. He doesn't deserve any atention
This is the reason we have a stalker and a hitman.
Warn him that he won't get away with annoying people here any longer and if it continues contact his parents. He's just an attention seeker, he's probably loving this thread ;)
ugh, I didn't know there was a steve on these boards. From now on, I crown him the NEW steve.
Anyway, hows AGS going? I can remember really liking the dos version...
The DOS version o_O it's come a long way since then.. although can still make dos games, just.
Best way to find out is just to use it ;)
yeah, I noticed :P I downloaded a copy of the newest version and it seemed way easier to use (duh, it's windows). I've just pretty much lost my passion for game creation because I don't have the artistic skills to back it up...
There are ways around the graphics side of things.
It's just a matter of being inventive.

This is an appeal to everyone that is posting on the sharpmail forums: PLEASE PLEASE STOP. YOUR HUMOURLESS 'FLAME' ATTEMPTS ARE EMBARRASING AND ARE MAKING US ALL LOOK LIKE BRAINLESS MORONS. REFRAIN FROM POSTING ON THEIR FORUMS. IT IS NOT FUNNY.
Hmm, is he really in mainland China? If so, why don't we put up a free website somewhere, on his behalf, calling for the overthrow of the communist goverment and demand that those resonsible for the the masacare in Tinamen Square be brought to justice. We can put links to kikme where ever he goes on the net, or at least enough for the Chinese Gov to find him.
hahaha They were picking on me about my misquote of acts, articles and codes in the law. oh well, guess I got too technical about it for em'
C.
heh...i'm with rick.
but if we ban him, he could easily come back. and like scotch said, hes just an attention seeker. So id be great to do something to him, or do what rick said.
But DarkStalkey! They pretended that they were actually kikme and "admitted" that they were gay! Oh my! It was SO funny! I love when people joke about fresh and new stuff, such as homosexuality! I never get tired of it! I think people don't use the word 'gay' nearly enough nowadays! HAHAHAH! AAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHH!

Well yes, we did think that an easy way to ban him would be to write "Capitalism rocks" on a huge banner across the top of the forum. His govt would block his access here in the blink of an eye ;)

Dear Mr Kikme Senior..
Please remind your son that all of his bases are belong to us....
KTHXBYE...
I have the perfect punishment.
/me adopts Kikme
Reason why Matthew Coale and any associated online identities should be banned from AGS and anything to do with individuals I care about:
The internet is very much so based on trust- so that when some identity claims to represent a certain individual, others should trust this to be true. While jokes* can be allowed because the confusion lasts only temporarily- Matthew's constant attempts at confusion will not end, no matter how many warnings, atleast until maturity in his mind develops. I, however, am not that patient.
*(Andy Penis or Little Willy for instance)
Bah, big deal. He's a pain and contributes nothing. Ban him and get it over with.
I don't think anyone will start thinking this is some dictatorship because of it.
HOsaMOv
Is he banned yet?
Yikes, some of those post in that sharpmail forum are harsh....I can't even imagine most agsers responding in that way...
If you guys are, you gotta at least have respect for their forum, and post with a little thought. The homosexual jokes are childish and probably will lead to more and more of the same stupid stuff....
As I said before, just forget about him. Forget that he exists. He wants atention. He is probably huging and kissing and fucking this thread at the moment because this is what he wants. You are making him feel better. Kikme is the past. Live now.
Yeah, i agree with femme
I think femme is right.
We should just ban his IP, and never speak of him again.
This thread is just turning into a big flame fest. I think it's about time this got locked. If CJ is gonna do something about this situation, I think he can handle it without everyone on the boards coming up to voice their opinion. I agree that he should be punished, but I also think we should be a little more mature about it and end this thread now.
- Bryan
Just in case this thread is about to get locked, I wanted this to be the last word read by those reading this over in the future:
Coagulated.
It is an interesting little drama though, why the need to lock it?
Yeah, I suppose it is interesting, but I think its been played out as far as it can go within the realms of good taste, especially with the people leaving the messages on the other boards. I think locking the thread would just defuse the situation and make it go away. Besides, as Femme Fatale noted, kikme is probably just watching this all go on and laughing his ass off. Perhaps locking the thread is not the answer, but people here should be able to handle this with a bit more maturity or else they're no better than kikme was in the first place.
- Bryan
Undergroundling:
Worry not about the messages in the other forum. For all you know, that is simply Matthew stirring up more contraversy about himself. If locking threads (censoring further opinions of the matters at hand) defused and made go away "the situation"- this very thread would not exist. The guy who discovered Hosamov's post on sharpmail could simply have added the link in the previous thread about the emails. But that thread was locked and since locked prematurely- a new thread was made to further gunk up the Gen Gen. And I doubt I am the only who would get more and more frustrated to see another thread devoted to Matthew's immaturity.
Let this thread be locked. Lets get on with our lives. Who cares about some little stupid lonely boy with no social skills? He doesn't deserve all this attention. If this thread is locked it will be all better. Stop bothering about him.
No.

very bad choice in nick as well ... kikme ... askin' for it :)
I suppose I'll have to agree with EvenWolf about not locking the thread, I thought about what you said and yeah, if this thread was locked, more and more would just spring up. It's probably better just to let everyone get out what they want to say here and get it over with. So, um, you can just forget anything I said before :P
