As a matter of fact, I would edit that whole post to "nevermind" or delete it if possible.

HT and HTC don't take discussions like that very lightly.

The guy asked a question and I gave him my opinion.  As far as implying that I am cheating, that's uncalled for.  It so easy to blast away at someone over the BBS, I would very much doubt if I were standing next to you, such rudeness would be uttred by you.  The only way to deal with a vulnerable part of a system is to put it on the table and discuss it.  People who think that you can have security through obscurity needs to get educated in the ways of the 21st century.

Most of the young people here do not know how to execute such a technical exploit.  The older ones that play this game who are technical enough probably already knows.  Its basic TCP/IP laws.

They were not implying you were cheating (from what I could tell), but saying that it isn't wise to post anything like that on the forums as the info could be used to cheat by other players.

If they did bump it to $30 per month, I would have to give up something.

If it were that much, there would be less people in the MA than in MW now.

I wouldn't pay that much, and I have a lot of grey in my hair..

I almost left the game over these two events. I keep telling myself Hitech will nail these bums and that somewhat keeps me hopeful and playing. I realize a vast majority play fair, however it does seem that plug pulling is getting worse.

But what about the possibility of hackers?

But what about the possibility of cheaters?

But what about the possibility of cheating hackers?

But what about the possibility of cable pulling, cheating hackers?



But, but, but...we should think of ALL the possibilities, no matter how uncommon or improbable!!!!!!111ONE

I'm not going to lose any sleep over the possibility that I might run across a single guy pulling a cable while I'm flying my cartoon plane.
