    As of now I'm not taking any chances. For the next couple of days I'm keying in all passwords and other sensitive information using the on-screen keyboard. For all I know this may have gone beyond simple post deletions.

    He is a responsible mod and one that feels the need to pressure himself more than he must for this site.

    Let us all express our thanks and respect for Spartan and Sulla!

    Is it just me, or was anyone else getting locked out the forums, and asked to reenter their name & password? But then when I did that, it wouldn't let me in, then a couple minutes later everything is fine, it's not doing it ATM, but it was about 5 minutes ago, for around 15 minutes or so. :erm

    Thanks, that's what I figured...but I could see new posts coming up on the front page...yet it was telling me the forums were unavailable...and there was talk of hacking...so I was getting a bit suspicious there for a bit... :wack

    *Was imagining some devious bastard replacing the login box with a password logger*

    What can I say, I'm paranoid... :8

    (Edit)

    On reflection that might have been an overly paranoid reaction on my part...not much a hacker could do with my password other than spamming posts and making my profile look like a nutter. :rolleyes

    No LT you have just a personality disorder.quit bragging. I know a good paranoid when I see one! :happy
    So, as I understand the chances of discovering the perpetrator, be him Torquemada or Raul are zilch, therefore the deductive minds of the community, and especially those partaking in the History quiz, will be our self appointed inquisitors...

    Ok, the resemblance of this all to Star Wars ep. III is getting scary.
    Actually, it's much closer to Roman history, seeing as how Sulla was granted emergency powers to "heal" the Republic.

    But I agree with the decision. Just slightly bemused by the parallels.
    If you could only hear all the things you used to say.

    It's not a matter of resigning from my perspective however I just don’t want people to think that I used the situation to organize a coup d'état of TWC. I am keenly aware that even I have some critics regarding my altruistic ways for this community. This plus the events of the past day would make for a good plot to seize power for myself- yes? That is why I made that statement.

    Hehe, the granting of emergency powers to Sulla is the best thing that could have happened! Through him crisis has been averted and TWC has truly been healed!

    ParthianWarrior, it was I who first started requesting around the forums that Sulla be granted emergency powers! This was because mesa knew it was for the best.
