Who are these people?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm seeing more and more completely random people around here, people who I don't know at all. I've got no clue where they are coming from or why they are here, but they're freaking me out. See picture and link.

At that link you'll see a lot of people who most likely have never made a single post.

Are these people coming here just to play in the arcade or something?

I just checked what they are all doing (can't believe I didn't think to do that already.) I think all but 3 of them are in the arcade.

!King_Amazon! 2007-02-20 09:43 AM

And now every single one of them are gone from the list of active members. It's really freaking me out. And we're talking every single one of them is gone within like 15 minutes. The odd thing is, before they came, nobody was here. They all came at once, they all left at once.

You have uncovered a gigantic conspiracy, sir. WW, I demand you let us know what is going on at once.

It seems daft that one person would go through so much trouble to make so many accounts, log them all in at once, and have them all playing games.

Saying that, though, there was that Draco fella a few days ago who had multiple accounts, wasn't there?

The only explaination I could come up with is it's a classroom full of students, most likely in a computer course of some sort, that are playing in their free time and then they all stop at once when the teacher starts teaching, but that's a bit far-fetched.

Lenny 2007-02-20 10:10 AM

Hey, anything's possible.

Though how they all get around the filters that are surely on this place... unless they really ARE computer students who can get around it all.

Oooh - gone within 15 minutes. The forum logs you out after 15 minutes of inactivity, unless you tick the remember me box, don't forget. Which could explain how they all disappear at once.

!King_Amazon! 2007-02-20 10:26 AM

That's assuming they all came at once though, which they did, and there's still no explaination for that.

Plus, I used to play games with my friends in school during computer classes, most game sites were banned but there were always some that weren't, and as soon as someone found one, everyone knew about it.

Lenny 2007-02-20 10:46 AM

I know what you mean. :p

It seems to be a constant battle between the power-hungry admins who control the filter, and the students who can get round it no problems, at our school.

Google is set to Safe Filter On, we can't run applications on our accounts... we can't even right click!

Well at my school it was as simple as using a proxy to get around the web blocker. Until they figured out how to prevent people from entering proxies like 3 years later, it was a sinch. I just ran my own proxy server at home so I could pretty much use my IP at school as a proxy and bypass the filters. Only me and a very select few of my friends used it though, which was great because most proxies are horribly slow, but since mine was running off my home connection it was nice and speedy even with 3-4 people using it at once.

Lenny 2007-02-20 02:39 PM

Nice!

The filter at school blocks proxies, though, sadly... unless we visit the cached page - it doesn't filter any cached pages, thankfully.

Brilliant.

Also there was an administrator account at school that I had access to because my keyboarding teacher loved me. The bad part was, the desktop of the administrator account was solid red except for the word "ADMINISTRATOR" in big black bold letters right in the middle, so I couldn't really use it for anything without risking serious troubles.

Titusfied 2007-02-20 05:46 PM

Trpipplleeeee p00ssstttt!! I love it.

I couldn't read the attachment, but I saw what you meant from the link. How do you get your rank up? Play more games, and have a better overall ranking?

MightyJoe 2007-02-20 07:50 PM

Yea, I think its based on your rank in that game, and overall.

kaos 2007-02-24 04:44 PM

Yeah, it's like most of them register just to play the arcade. Then like 2 months later they get bored and decide to post.

I don't think the arcade has even been around for 2 months.
