w00t! I'm cool!

Indeed you are.


As for my views...

My opinion is that if people can PA Dodge, then something in the system is not right. Maybe IP checks aren't being made or something(Though I can understand IP Checking is hard considering I've got glined 6 times from networks only to show up 2 mins later because I disconnected my dial up and got me a new IP to go from mm ^_^. But anyways, as I told Q. My stance is that if an admin somehow messes up on something, not directly aimed at Simon, be it PA checking or verifying password-requests via email account verification, then it should just be let go. They exploited at weekness, that only teaches you that there is a hole and where to plug it so no one else can exploit it.

After thouroughly reading this post, I have one simple effective reply.

Proxy. :P Worked for me. It's something you have to watch out for.

I could port probe like Simon said, I've done it before, back when RSN was on TheLight hosting, it would probe every site in our links list once every hour to make sure they still existed, but I canned it when A. we moved to Toson Hosting(they don't like Crontabs) B. S2B kept turning 403( which for the plain english means Forbidden, or simply simon blocked my script from probing) C. It said Sonic-Cult was a non existant site even when it was online(404).

Anyways, wouldn't be hard, just probe said ports and see if we get 200 OK. :P

I can't think of a greater compliment than not being an assclown. Thanks Simon.

About Danny. I remember a member back in 2001 that was named Danny02 or something simular. He was just a pain in the ass and got banned from all Sonic MBs. This was at EZboard. I wonder if it is the same Danny, or if this is the 3rd generation of Danny's.

Anyway, I have never seen a worse turd.

Must be the funky .htaccess settings which I put in for something else. Anyway, it's generally considered bad netiquette to keep pinging or probing a machine...

I don't know if this is the same Danny, but based on the previous trial phase, it was... "questionable" enough to make anyone go x_x.

If you compaired how I was on MB's 5 years to now. I would know it's possible to improve. But I was in 5th grade then. I was hanging out at the Enix mb then. If I can here like I was then, I would have never made past the PA.

Heh, could have been worse, I had planned to have it probe whenever someone visited the links page, but I'm a lazy webprogramer and decided against 3 days of staring at the pc monitor. And now that you mention it, it would be kind of annoying to webadmins to see 24 probes a day from the same IP :P Ah well, it was a nice adventure in PHP Socket programing.

Is it just me or are you opting to wait for them to go through all the posts before making a verdict again? Luminoth sure had to go through it.

Not really. The thought of approving just didn't occur to me, or I didn't thoroughly read the topics he posted in, or one of the other billions of possibilities.

What does it take to become a proper member? Do you have to be good in hacking etc., or do you just have to not be an idiot?

The answer to that question, you just have to not be an idiot.

[Syren]

And show that you do want to become a member in ways that are slightly noticable, I.E not wasting your posts within a day or two.

Or atleast, that's what I've noticed.

[Kles]

Just don't be stupid. Good at hacking is required to be a tech member. If you stay here long enough you'll pick up knowledge anyways so don't worry about it.

Also, you could either read the posts in the Trash section, or this topic for examples on how not to act.
