    I noticed in the announcement that I was publicly implicated in a hacking attempt against EC. This is either a blatant lie, or a misunderstanding. Allow me to clear things up and get my word in.

    I have not attempted to breach any computer system and I also do not have the requisite knowledge. I am not looking for any confidential information and never have attempted to do so.

    Either my account itself or my home computer has been compromised. I invite the EC admins to check IP logs so we can clear this situation up. PM me for my e-mail as well so I can check the integrity of my home system as well and ensure it is not being used to conduct criminal activity under my good name.

    I am not guilty of any deliberate, willful attempt to secure access to an unauthorized computer system.

    I don't even know how to do such things.

    Seriously: Not Funny

    Seriously; Not funny, it may be April fools, but this is a site full of LGBTIQA people who may or may not want to keep their membership in this site secret. as well as keeping their data private.
    This 'joke' just made me feel like my data wasn't secure. AND because over here April fools is over (it was yesterday) it actually caused me to panic!
    Data Security on a site that supports people like this does is no Joking Matter!!!

    I can understand why the joke was played, but I had a huge shock when I logged on today!

    Re: Seriously: Not Funny

    April Fools day was yesterday here; Remember that there's more to the world than the northern hemisphere, down here we're a day ahead.

    ok, I was a little irritated, and really not happy about the name substitution on the posts, and no mention of April fools day on the site until I dug through one of the mass posting threads to try and work out why everything was screwed up

    I fell for it as well.
    I thought it was very clever.

    Yeah, it's a clever piece of codding or whatever it's called. It had me panicking for like three minute earlier, I completley forgot it was the first of April xD

    Just logout and view the threads unregistered and you'd see how the name changes to 'unregistered'.

    Re: Seriously: Not Funny

    just the factthat you can log on and see the post means it is fake, for me it said that i was the hacker. if the case was real, i would be banned
