I have no experience with Comus, have very limited experience in the adult webmaster world, but have been around the Internet since 9600bps modems. Based on the little information I know, it is unlikely that the people using Comus would have gotten an email from the scripters saying that this information has been exposed.

The downside of exposing a hole like this is that you also let people who are going to use the information for bad purposes know about it too. If that's the price people have to pay for getting to know that they've been exposed, then so be it; but by no means should this issue have gone unoticed by the customers of Comus.

I do see a clear intention of Raven Core to give Comus a bad name, but he's not lying about the main issue: Comus has a hole. That's a fact. Furthermore, readers should not be distracted by the whole "Comus sucks"-themed posts and they should look and focus on the real problem. Call me Master of the Obvious, but that's the way I see it.

The fact that I got to see the links that were posted in the first post confirmed the seriousness of the issue. If I hadn't seen them, I'd be calling bullshit or at least have my doubts of how bad the problem is.

anyone that knows about Comus knows that it's always growing, I've been using it for several years and have seen loads of changes. Tony is always working on improvements. Many people in the industry know and respect Tony for his work and the support you get with comus, it has more customizing capibilities than any other TGP script. Then someone comes in, probably a fake nick, and bashes his company. Never contacted him, if he did, he would have known it was being worked on. But instead decided to post the list of those webmasters for the spammers.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
