My thoughts exactly. I've put up posts, TRs, FSs, WTBs.. but never a story.

Maybe give up on the jong shit and just participate in the forums like the rest of us?

Unless you're a pro I guess. In that case I'm definitely better than you, but might read your "story" if it's full of stoke.

This as your second part with a 2015 join date is interesting to say the least.

Nevermind tho, I probably won't read it anyways. I wouldn't even know where to lóok for it.

WTF is a story?

Really? What has made you so sure the bug that made everyone sign in as the buffalo wasn't "hacked" in?

What's the alternate explanation?

That shit doesn't just happen randomly without someone getting into the code and fucking with shit.

And why was it JUST that profile that hijacked random maggots?

Weird but I was just able to get in by trying to reply to a post by quoting one and it sent me the regular login page but the link isn't corrupted.

What if the hacker was an aspiring comedian?

redirecting ID's seems a little complex for it just to be a "bug", no?

i haven’t looked at the code but we were told it was a bug. if you think this is not a good enough explanation you should change your password and make sure they are never shared between sites.

my guess is that the way the different products are glued together that can all authenticate users is problematic, which is the same reason something that should be simple like changing a password may leave you unable to log in depending on how you do it.

which is why mine is still 1234567.

That bug hasn’t happened since the great migration.

But sure. Guy on a Buffalo login appears from nowhere and leads back to Vietnamese pho website. Happens every day.

Pho. Mmmmmmm.
But I got corned beef and potatoes boiling. And cabbage soon.
No pho today.

And somehow the server clock didn’t update to DST.

It should. Let’s party like it’s something something
Dude. Wait Whut?

Guyonabuffalo still taking over accounts. Check the Mammoth thread from today.

Guess the fan reset didn't help that, although the site has been less laggy.. so at least we have that going for us.

I don’t know how I ended up creating a couple of posts under that user name. I simply logged in from my iPhone automatically.

Totally random when I accidentally logged in under that name.

Using "The Stash" to log in as skuff, and using my original password


edit: just wanted to see if I turned into guyonabuffalo

Now using the quote method, and I have to use the password given to me by TGR when I tried to change from the old password


Why are there 2 ways to log in using 2 different passwords?

is this fixed? I need to log in via a new chrome browser and don't want to get buffaloed

If it isn't, it would only effect that specific login instance so no harm in trying. Other computers or phones won't be affected

fuck if I know, I think so? If it's happening, it's not happening with the crazy frequency of before.

Ok, maybe I will get brave enough to give it a try :-)

I kind of miss the good ole days of GOAB.
