The "hacker" is using data from a breach that occurred ages ago. Remember FA making everybody log out so you'd change your password? If you did, you're 100% safe from this nut. If you didn't, go do that right away. They're only doing this to inactive accounts which did not change their passwords.
"Greg" isn't a hacker, just a wanna-be script kiddie with a chip on their shoulder and way too much time on their hands. "Greg" is an idiot.

Change your password! Hinky stuff is afoot.
Posted 10 months agoCheck the frontpage and, as likely as not, you'll see several examples of the spam image someone is posting on hacked accounts, which tells off "Judy" and lists a journal post. This post here:

Seems there was a data breach a while ago and the hacked accounts are mostly inactive ones, but just to be safe, change your password.
Edit: These started appearing only a few hours ago, and moderators are already erasing them! Hat's off to them for that quick response. They're still appearing, though. Some troll got booted from the FA Discord, presumably because they were trolling, and they're salty about it.

Hoot needs help. Quite urgently, in fact.
Posted 2 years agoHoot has been having a fight that's compounded by a whole range of problems, all converging. Please help if you're able.

Posted 11 years agoWho actually reads my page? Bet the number is pretty low. Anyway... RF is my local con. Might as well write up one of those list-y things, just to do it.
When: End of the week.
Where: Usual usual.
Rooming with: nobody. I live ten minutes away.
Badge name: Zephyr Skunk
Wearing: varies by day, but typically something old-fashioned. At least one of the days,look for the only top hat WITHOUT Steampunk goggles on it
Yes: Chat with me, ask for hugs, show me that awesome whatev you just bought, ask where to get good grub/a good drink, buy me a drink (would anybody actually do that? I'm not famous)
No, no, no, no: Glomp, hard pounce, ask about yiff (I'm not really much of a looker, either)
Will be: wandering, hitting/looking for parties, puffing the hookah, dancing.
WANT: If you have an RF year zero pin (gold paw print) let me know your price!
Should be a fun con. They usually are.

A lesson in simple grammar that everyone should know.
Posted 13 years agoBorrowed with permission from maya_chan. I added a few bits to the top and bottom.
If you're texting on your phone, or Tweeting, abbreviations are reasonable. They save space when your sentence length is functionally limited, and the message is still (mostly) understandable.Otherwise, see the following. To some of us, a sentence such as "Your the best!" is like nails on a chalkboard.

If you think you may have issues regarding punctuation, you might want to pick up "Eats, Shoots and Leaves," a book about proper use of punctuation written by one Lynne Truss. Read it cover-to-cover, and keep it handy. Put it on your coffee table so that guests will read it, too! For example, apostrophes do not go in plural words; "eye's" is not the plural of "eye." So many handwritten or chalkboard store signs use supposed plural words like "book's" or "burger's."
Generally speaking, I won't snap at someone for using incorrect grammar or punctuation. If they do it across-the-board, however, I won't hesitate to call them on it. And don't say it's "easier" - that isn't an acceptable excuse. It translates to, "I'm lazy. Piss off!"
For those who don't know, by the way, we don't speak English around here. We speak American English. And multiple dialects of it, no less; there is no one single 'proper' form of American English. Proper English is spoken - and written - in the United Kingdom. "Colour," "flavour,' etc. are the proper English spellings; you can thank Noah Webster for changing them, in a process intended to simplify the complex British format (AKA, laziness for the sake of being modern and different). Not that people in England don't get lazy about their language; people there most certainly fall to the same sorts of laziness and ignorance found here.
One more gripe I've got: The next time you hear some "foreigner" babbling in "that nonsense they jabber" (probably AKA, Mexican Spanish or some Indian tongue) and you consider telling them to "speak English when you're in America," stop!-- and remember that, aside from the fact that you're about to be a racist, if only perhaps for a moment, English was imported here, like every other language aside from Native tribal ones, and bastardized in countless ways. See Noah Webster, but after that, see the ol' "out with the old, in with the new" junk Americans have trumpeted for centuries. Oh, and-- before you begin to think, "That still makes us you-neek!" talk to immigrants from any other country, and you'll find that Americanized dialects, developed to the point of being hybrid languages, have formed over time. There are American-Italian and American-Irish dialects which few in Italy or Ireland would fully understand. And yes, if you bitch out loud in front of me about how American should make "English" the one and only allowed language... Yes, I will call you on it, loudly, so that everyone in the vicinity knows you're a racist.
Do not annoy the skunk.
