Title: WP has been hacked
Post by: SBI_Patience on June 16, 2023, 04:27:18 AM
Seems like WP has been hacked, the mods all had their privileges gone and has been taken over by God (I kid you not). I got informed about it earlier and because I’ve not been active on it and every other site due to RL complications, I went ahead and checked it and sure enough. Yup.

Why bother, hackers?

If I went back it'd be like transporting back 10 years. The same incels still moaning about the same things. CR probably has 1 million posts by now. The people I knew there still living the same daily routines and still having the same interests. Alex the ever absent boss still ignoring the peasants complaining about the site going downhill.

Is this accurate?

Alex spelt backwards. I've been to WP recently and I didn't notice a difference. :dunno:

Edit: There's some moderator stuff going on.

And they've logged me out. I've forgotten my password since I haven't needed to use it for the past year. I'd like to gain access to WP again because I have a friend on there who I PM quite often.

If it has been hacked their security must have been piss poor.  Oh well, the only sympathy I can muster is for Ren and the possibility of her not being able to contact her friends.  I know that feeling all too well.  I still wonder about some friends that I made of past forums and how they are doing.    :(

I'm left wondering if Alex is having a "moment" and his own "vultures" coming home to roost.  I often wondered about that when amy abruptly went bonkers and pulled the plug on AFF.  Or when Crucibelle did the same tp aspergian island.  At least Gareth left a few weird clues before leaving FB and here. 

Oh well, this moment if introspection by me will pass swiftly till the next time my memory is jogged.  8)

Quite some time ago.  It was gone sometime about 15 or so years ago.  I discovered forums in the 1990's.  The exact time frame is hazy and justifiably so.  I was a member of many forums and most are long gone.  Not my monkeys or my circus any more........I have out grown them.

Title: Re: WP has been hacked
Post by: Natalia Evans on August 15, 2023, 02:52:49 PM
For a while we had that one person from Australia who was obviously right wing and thought everyone was intellectually dishonest for not having right wing views and we had that skunk guy and we had that one other user who took pride in being a sociopath and would make provocative posts and one time she cried to the mods claiming I called her a Nazi when I said "comments like this is why people call other people Nazis" because she was mad we had to protect the elderly from covid and couldn't understand why we all had to sacrifice our freedom for them and she was also confused why people were calling other people Nazis.

Another time I said supporting Trump was no different than people who supported Hitler and I got a PM about it being informed it's not the time to compare Trump supporters to Nazi parties yet. That one guy from Australia complained about my post to them.

Now lot of right wingers have left WP. When I last came back to check things out, I find out kraftiekortie had been banned and I wondered what the hell happened, he was a decent member there so why would he get banned, was it voluntarily? I also noticed saveferris was back under a new username and whatever happened with him as a mod and then asked to be banned so alex banned him, I didn't see it and wasn't there when it happened.

According to fnord, sinboldly is banned and I wonder if that is why she hadn't been active on wp in a few years. I wonder if something else happened I don't know about.

There was also another forum created but I don't remember what it's called, lot of right wing WP members moved there.
 
Right now we have a couple WP members who are on about pronouns now and argue about it and one of them keeps asking to be temp banned and is currently taking a break right now.

And there is one other WP member who is convinced people pretend to be confused by what he writes and pretends to be offended so they report his posts and to me this sounds like a conspiracy and typical ASD thinking. Can't understand why others would have different perspectives and different views so they must be behaving maliciously and must be pretending and manipulating the mods as a way to get him banned.

I can't stand anyone on the spectrum who think anyone is being dishonest when they have a different opinion or thinking anything is an attack or strawman when someone has a different opinion than they do or thinking any different opinion is intellectually dishonest or thinking anyone is out to get them. Thankfully only few on the spectrum are like this and only seen a few of them on WP and Reddit. Just had someone on reddit tell me how there were many disgenious people in the thread and she had the nerve to report my post when she didn't like what I said and it got removed because supposedly me saying "many people have issues with cops bla bla bla" being disrespectful. This was in a thread about that autistic teen being arrested for saying this cop looked like her nana who is a lesbian and the cop took it as a homophobic slur despite that the mom had explained what her daughter meant by her comment. So anyone with a different opinion than her are disgenious. Nice.

He won't be getting rid of it until he has bigger and better things to put at the top of his bio and/or resume.

Well, Alex is getting older, too, and this is about as far as he'll get.

Reminds me of the time he wanted me to get on the phone with him and walk him through how to talk to women (back when I was moderating WP).  He thought because I was married I must have some secret sauce he could use.  :hahaha:

People were calling for Alex to hand over the site a decade ago.
He's not interested in running WP and never has been, but being "WP Founder" is a focal point of his personal brand and public image so he won't let it go.

I remember that musical. Had a bunch of the AFF people as main characters fighting Autism Speaks as they basically took over the world (that was mostly my contribution).

A shitty teacher from high school that basically bullied me for being autistic became the main villain after killing the leadership of Autism Speaks and doing her whole world domination thing.

Yeah, it was...Something else.  :tinfoil:

I definitely feel as though I'm on the wrong planet sometimes. When I was younger, I always dreamed of a stranger in a blue box arriving at my front door and whisking me across the universe.

Meeting the Doctor would be cool.
