    I knew I smelled a rat. I should be a detective.

    This just blows me away, though. I never suspected it to go this far. Wow. Talk about a need for attention and adulation.

    Cindy, I'm sorry you had to be the one to take the brunt of this. You deserve better. I'm glad we got this all sorted out in the end. Hang in there.

    Tony, did you check to see that Sun was hacking? If so, great job. If not, we may be jumping to conclusions a bit.

    Are you guys positive about this? Because I've talked to him on AIM a few times, he's like 17 years old. I'm not trying to be naive about it, but he doesn't seem like the hacker type. Maybe he's a little overzealous about rep points. I don't know, I'm not trying to step on any toes, but did Southernbird actually see that he hacked her account or are you guys just assuming? But then again from what he was telling me, he did know an awful lot about the way the rep points worked(knew how many points you got from people with certain numbers of blips, knew how many rep points you could give in 24 hours, etc). I don't know...it's kind of scary I guess. Maybe he's not 17 years old.

    to mean that he's been identified past just a logical assumption.

    Very strange indeed. The rep points are a great idea and they usually match up to the opinion most people have of the poster. But with Sun, I had no idea why he had so many rep points in a short period because his posts werent bringing anything new to the table. Glad this is fixed and hopefully people dont abuse the system in the future.

    Yeah, it does seem that he may have exposed himself by trying to take advantage of the brief hysteria with the rep points.

    Who would have thought that those little green dots were more addictive than heroine?

    I think we need to get Sun to the Repodone Clinic immediately. Or at least set up some sessions at Reppers Anonymous.

    Why not just delete all the rep points that derive from the "Giving free rep points!" thread. It's useless to get upset over such trivial things.
    I would like to apologize for this post. If Sun did hack the account, then he shouldn't be on the site. Good job on finding the rat.

    Trust us, we know who this guy is. Anyone remember hardballs???? NYoriolesfan??? And about 20 other names we had to ban. If you have a way to get a hold of him you may want to tell him to stay away or risk further penalty under anti-hacking laws.

    OK Cindy, let's get off the "everyone feel sorry for me mantle". No one called you a liar but we had information that said you had given the rep points. Once you said you did not give Sun all those points, we investigated and found out Sun was our old "pal" and kicked him off.

    No one thinks you are liar, but you may want to change your password to something harder.

    He IMed me earlier today. This is what he wrote and I quote:

    MacGenius10: hey dude cant believe the hangout
    MacGenius10: it was my nextdoor neighbor who has the same ip as me
    MacGenius10: im only 14 dude as I saw your post
    MacGenius10: and im really scared
    MacGenius10: could you just do one thing for me as I am scared that tony will really do somehting
    MacGenius10: could you be lik "i talked to him, hes really only 14 and he says hes sorry to everyone. I mean it was my friend and all but I gotta take responsibilty, so just could you tell tony that you know im sory and im only 14
    MacGenius10: thanks

    But he also told me before that he was going into 11th grade, which unless he's channeling Neil Patrick Harris...that would make him older than 14. I don't know what to believe, it's kind of weird. And I'm not sure how his neighbor has the same IP address, unless there's no firewall and one of them is pirating it from the other. But I trust you guys to make the right decision. It's just too creepy, cause either he's slipping up right now about the age thing or he lied about it to begin with. Oh well you guys do what you think's best, I just thought I'd share that with you.

    You're kidding? Tony, I'm not trying to tell you how to run your site, but maybe you should contact his ISP at the very least. He's abusing their service.
