I noticed the message underneath where your avatar is supposed to be, Gil!

I wasn't there, but I knew this sounded familiar.

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.

Don't worry, Rodey.

I think the situation is fine now.

And it's not your fault in any way.

c) They are real hackers who found this forum after hacking Rodekill's forum.

d) The e-mails are part of a spamming campaign for some kind of protection software and are therefore  just a coincidence. (Right now, I think this is a very  unlikely theory -- but I don't rule it out)

I don't think these e-mails are aprt of some scheme to get us to but protection software...It's just some dumbass randomly picking e-mails and harrassing them. I believe this since one of my e-mails came from a prank e-mail site....

Like I said, it's a very slight possibility.

But I don't rule it out.

But also consider that it seems to be more than one 'dumbass' -- or someone registering multiple e-mail addresses.

Which is what makes me thinks it's just a prank too.

Then again, who knows?

Esseb, good theory.

Probably as an after-reaction.  

However, it's best that people remain a little alert, even though I doubt hackers would hack the forum straight after warning us.

It's like the Bond villian telling 007 his plans for world domination right before he leaves him to die in a swimming pool filled with pirahnas.

Nevertheless, be a little alert just in case the forum ever does get hacked.

That reminds me of my dick-related story!

When I was boarding in my last year of high school I found a large cyst/pimple on the lower-underneath part of my willy and went to pop the sucker in my cubicle/room at the dorm.

Right when I was about to lance this sucker, one of the dorm masters opened the curtain to my room and saw me with my hands fiddling my dick.

He shut the curtain immediately and ran away without saying a word.

Okay, not really, but I haven't gotten any of these e-mails.  But that is becuase I don't have my e-mail address availble. Hey, I'll bet it's DG!!!! He has a habit of doing these things like making up teh fake board members!!1!!!1

I'm threatning to hold a web forum that I moderate?

In other words, you think I don't have enough work on here and have to create some hacking threat for the others mods and me to show that we're actually doing something?  

And if I'm threatning the forum, shouldn't I include some ransom demands.

In that case, I want $500,000 in unmarked bills, a new Jaguar, a giant a baby bottle filled with milk, some nude pictures of Barbara Eden, some rainbow suspenders...

How do we know that Kikme isn't doing this.  No offense Kikme.  After all, you ARE innocent until proven guilty.

He is innocent until proven guilty.

However, he is only one of a number of theories about this:

a) It's kikme pulling a prank

b) It's someone

c) They are real hackers who found this forum after hacking Rodekill's forum.

d) The e-mails are part of a spamming campaign for some kind of protection software and are therefore  just a coincidence. (Right now, I think this is a very  unlikely theory -- but I don't rule it out)

There's evidence to prove all four theories.

Midnight Express.

I just remembered that one.

Today I bought an older movie on DVD -- 'The Defiant Ones'.

I recommend it very much.

Checked my e-mail and found the two identical post reportings too.

We are watching you very carefully, pal.

Just remember: you can do a tabloid on any AGSer -- even me!  :o

Squinky had a similar email -- read down till the bottom:

Kikme, this had better not be you making a prank.

[What is a Photoshop Phriday?]

What is a Photoshop Phriday?

See this link:
http://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop/

And for other examples, see here:
http://www.worth1000.com/

The two above websites should give a fair idea of what is involved.

Note: Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images.

Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, or any other programs can be used.

What do I have to do?

This week's Photoshop Phriday is this: "AGS Tabloids"

On the surface, many AGSers appear normal (LOL! Can't believe I wrote that!)

Ahem!

However, most of us do not know the REAL stories behind all these AGSers.

This week, you must construct an tabloid newspaper-style image featuring an AGSer.

To do this, simply follow these steps:

1) Load Google and click on images -- search for 'tabloid'

2) Choose an image and edit it so it's about an AGSer

3) Add a new headline if you want and Bob's your Auntie's batchild lesbian sister-in-law.

Here's a quick ditty I made on my girlfriend's laptop using minimal editing software and an image about a pregnant male:



It's that easy!

Use your creative skills to demonstrate the numerous freaky six-armed AGSers, or AGSers involved in sex-scandals with celebrities, etc, etc.

Actually, you'd be surprised of the number of AGSers who haven't seen the Godfather movies.

Even ones in the US.

Make sure you don't tick the box that says something like "Add me to the Hotmail members' directory".

It's more like the Hotmail spammers' directory.

DON'T REPLY! (Obviously)

As Ackbar says, "It's a trap!!!"

What they do is ask for a reply to check if your account is still active.

Then they add your e-mail to a database.

Then they share these databases with other spam companies and flood your email addresses.

That is why you never click the 'Click here to be taken off our mailing lists' -- it never works.

It's hard to debate 'older' movies.

Do we refer to 'older' as 'golden age of Hollywood'?

If so, then we count everything up to the 1979/80

However, various films released in the 80s could classify as older films. E.g. Ghandi, Chariots of Fire, Raging Bull, The Last Emperor, Kiss of the Spider Woman

It's hard to debate.

Actually, the image is really half the size of that.

I've just used BBCodes to double the size, which explains my JPG compression skin condition.

That, and I'm an ugly bastard when I don't wash!

Rutabaga!
