Made a post in the cat-thread toke a look at my avatar and post count

WHAT !?

My avatar was different from the one I had yesterday and I had 4000 + posting here at Subsim.

I have been searching this forum for a special avatar, I did this to find the one I remember i had yesterday before I closed my computer. I count find this avatar I do remember how it looks like but forgot the name(alias)

I have been thinking a lot, but I'm 99.99 % sure I had more than 4000 + posting and a different avatar.

I let my anti virus program make a clean-up before I closed my computer, I'm not an expert on computers and forums, I doubt that this cleaning of my computer should have any thing to do with this.

So I'm confused.

Let me see...am I still Chester?

EDIT: Nope...I am Bull. Yup, something broke, I was Nimitz earlier, now I'm Halsey.

Probably something to do with the mass spamming earlier today.

I seem also to remember Jim having 107000 post or something and now he has only 105000 post or something.

It looks like we all have lost about 2-2500 post counts

In case you missed it, we were hit by the biggest spam attack since Kennedy was President.

Starting at approx 02:37 CST, a horde of new "members" began signing up and flooding GT and SH3 Workshop with chinese-ish spam and there was no let up. Luckily for us, Spam Hunters Dowly, a.g., Bera, Rhodes, padi, and rowi58 took immediate action and rang the alarm, launching Jimbuna into action. Jim says there were over 260 spam posts landed, and quickly u crank joined in the effort to block them out. We had a breakdown of my awesome emergency procedure, which I am trying to fix now. We cannot stop the first few spammers from getting in the gate, but I will try to give our moderators better tools to shut the gate before it gets as bad as last night.

Thank you Jim, u crank, Dowly, a.g., Bera, Rhodes, padi, and rowi58 !

Betonov did mention that we'd been invaded by Koreans, probably Best Korea trying to learn the secret behind Jimbunas post count.

EDIT: It's quite impressive to read a post by ikalugin and see that his post count is 0. The Koreans really did a number, didn't they?

Rhodes · 11-12-15, 05:21 PM

! It must have been some N. Korean spam party!

eddie · 11-12-15, 05:23 PM
