About this "GFY Attack Posse" thing...
 

There's an alarming vigilante/lynchmob mentality that's surfaced lately here that I feel may end up harming us all, as a commununity. Though well-intentioned and on the side of truth, law and justice, this small group of hotshot cowboys (who are actually arguing over "claimed kills" at this point) are failing to realize the full effect their recklessness could have.

We're all aware of stolen image/password trading sites and the harm they do our industry. I'm certain we can all agree that we're talking about fraudelent, illegal behavior. And I know how frustrating it must be to see one closed down and another two pop up to replace it. However, there are certain guidelines to follow and common sense has to be used when dealing with them.

Stirring up a hornets nest might be considered fun by some but it's not a welcome practice in the middle of a family picnic. It's one thing to bring these sites to the attention of the forum, it's a whole other ballgame when these boards are used to stage raids against other communities. And the bottom line is, I don't think the majority of us are ready to play that game.

Picnic? There are picnickers here? Where? I want to shoot me some picnickers!

Just more notches on the "Negotiator" to me.

?
You lost me? Especcialy the part about the family picnic. would that be the password traders or the hotlinkers?

Why are you oppessed to reporting thieves?

the internet is lawless anarchy

Another hotlinkin' message board is not about reporting theives, a small group from here decided to take someone's report and organize a raiding party. Because of this, their forums are now closed to new registrations. This effectively stops anyone else here from finding out if their passwords or stolen images are being bandied about there.

The more serious issue is that these actions by a few could end up adversly affecting these forums as a whole. Internet community wars are not fun and games.

Now days everybody wanna talk
Like they got somethin' to say
But nothing comes out
When they move their lips
Just a bunch of jibberish
Motherfuckers act like they forgot about GFY

So what do you do to some board that you spite?
When everyone's trading passes to your site
blah blah

Tub Girl to the rescue!!:glugglug

I wanna be a cowboy

You can be my cowgirl




Ahem, fucking right, Im glad when I get someones password sharing site shitcanned, sorry buddy, but this is a business.


I dont think any movie theatre would look away blindly if they had people outside their doors teaching people how to sneak in for free.


You can call me a cowboy all you want, and vigilante, damn right I am, this is a business, either conduct business in such a way as to keep your revenues or get the fuck out of it.

more like an idiot..

I'm pretty sure they were trading passwords...

Sheriff done said it was the worst case of suicide he ever did see.

:thumbsup

Da Big Guido is on cal 24/7 for shit like this

The way I see it, your group certainly did not get this site closed down last night. All you did was have them stop registrations, which happens to be required to access their forums. When they do re-open, they'll probably be squeaky clean as well as moved their activities off board. In that case, the people that would've been in a position to (and know how to) write effective DMCA's have been hamstrung because of your shenanigans.

But then again, the main issue is that you're doing this macho acting out with a direct link back to here. Password trading sites are periphial to the warez groups and I don't think DDOS attacks should become a regular feature of this forum because of your recklessness.

The Site is closed, I just spent the last hour on the phone with the host, the site is still up but NO ONE can make any posts whatsoever. Reasoning for this, so everyone who has been hotlinked or has stolen content on that board can take care of evidence gathering if they need too.

The site will be permanently removed from coffecup.com servers by 12am tonight eastern time. I have that both in email and on AIM from Jason, Coffecup.com Head Abuse Technician.

Dear Administrator,

As one of the Administrators of TFProject, I am actually pondering is this effort worth it. It is below me, but it amused me more than irritated. Then again, maybe you people need a wake-up call. As I BLEW by this: http://board.gofuckyourself.com/admin/index.php
and now sitting your server, wondering should I wipe the DB or just lock you all out of your own server, I did a search-string to see if there was a prelude to this activity. I got a hit here:

http://board.gofuckyourself.com/show...hreadid=155431

here:

and here:

http://board.gofuckyourself.com/show...hreadid=155460

I also noticed that your "posse" has nothing else to do with this site and they think what they do is "self-righteous", will actually get you people knocked of the net. We don't nor deal with passwords, if one of the members post what he feels, and WE deem it isn't bad, that doesn't mean you people come to bring your justice.

( Juicylinks, you can't even spell, let alone think you have the firepower to fuck with us. ) You think you have a posse?

I got one 25,000 big, and will step with me. And they're pissed.

Want to test me?

I am going to ask just once..

Do you people REALLY want to set this off?

Think of this as a warning shot. Think about it, you didn't give us one..

Thanks and think about it..

P.S.

You might think maybe I am bluffing, maybe not.
The only 3 things keeps me from doing it:

Be very glad that fiveyes looks like to be a fair-headed person.
He has spoken sense, so I have no need to go beyond that. Unlike you other members, we respect other sites.
If it was me, I'd already would have banned you.

Second is my partner Halx is against my decision.
We do respect JT and Lensman at adult.com, so taking this out on them wouldn't be right.

I've said more than enough, just enough to take the edge of this anger I had.

Drop this now, and I'll just walk away.
Your call.

BTW, we are not a password trading site.

Your intel is definitely wrong.

You should do some research on a site before you stike at them..

Just like I "researched" this one..

Blah blah blah

so what's it called when there are many threads with hundreds pf passwords in it? durrrr...

Funny post fiveyes, doesnt it look just a little too obvious though

:eek7


:321GFY

There is a snitch among us...

Bitches get stitches, Shit talkers need walkers, and snitches dont live very long..

Media

Ummm, I'm not the liar in this thread.

Don't fuck with the guido's :2 cents:

Bubbah as a administer it is your responsibilty to NOT have stolen ,hotlinked material on your site.Period
We did nothing but file complaints with your host on which you will be asked to remove the links,images or else you will be searching for a new host .
You show no respect to anybody by having that shit on your site.
Nobody said a dos attack or img sourcing or any attempts to hack you.

that's true, there was no dos attack or img sourcing at all, some of us just posted silly pictures for a few minutes until we were banned, that was it.

Now days everybody wanna talk
Like they got somethin' to say
But nothing comes out
When they move their lips
Just a bunch of jibberish
blah blah

never a dull moment here

the sad part is that these dumbshits still dont understand...


<font size="6" color="red"> POSTING PASSWORDS. ISNT FUCKING ILLEGAL! GET A FUCKING CLUE AND SECURE YOUR SHIT. YOU FUCKIN DOUCHE BAGS</font>

If that is what is going on on that board, they deserve to be shut down. That is actually the LEAST of what they deserve. This BuddaH fuckwit should count himself lucky instead of wandering over here to squawk warnings.

bring it on :321GFY

Certain keyboard cowboys here will never understand that.

its an amazing concept, must be hard to grasp.

Actually password sharing and password posting of passwords is illegal. It is otherwise known as "Theft of Services"

Passwords are what subscribers recieve when they PURCHASE a non transferable entry into a PAY site. Hence, it is giving away something for free that has monetary value, hence, it is called "Theft of Services" anything else guys?

And how long you been in this industry? I ran multiple paysites in my day, never ever was password sites a problem, people posted a password, security kicks in and the pass is dead plain and simple. If you run paysites you would certainly know how to protect them and to use them to your benefit.

This is so 1997, you really have a LOT of catching up to do...

Although I hate password sites and sites that allow it, I have to agree with you. Why not install the proper protection instead of messing with a bigass community? Why go through all that trouble when the solution is so damn simple

I agree. This issue was discussed to death years ago. It's silly. Password sites can be defeated with proper security measures, AND you can profit from them too.

I don't condone it by any means, but it's nothing to get crazy about.

The only dumbshit is you.You should get a fucking clue you douche bag :321GFY

i repeat once more for the douche bags in the house!

spoken like a true jackass whom has obviously been hacked.

my guess would be due to lack of fucking intelligence to secure his server, and too cheap to pay someone else to do it.

or just too stupid to have proper password security measures.

You know shit about me you twat.Its people like you that support Warez and should have his teeth bashed in.

:1orglaugh Good God... I needed that laugh!

If someone doesnt lock his house's doors... is it now legal to go steal in his house???

When you buy a pass at the gym, or a bus pass... is it legal to pass it around!???

Where in hell do you get your legal advice? Back of a cereal box?

:1orglaugh

Back of a cereal box?

His buddies, uncles, cousin told him so while they were hanging out at the comic store waiting on the latest release of Smurfette Vacations In Washington DC :1orglaugh

Dude you dont even have a fucking clue who I am, dont even try to consider yourself in the same League as I. I was filming porn movies for Legends before you were in 5th grade.

Talk shit, all you want, password trading is illegal, kinda make me wonder if you visit those boards , maybe thats where you get your content from eh?

Hi guys, could we get back to the main issue here please?

There are two different types password sites- those simply with listings, which are usually set up by the big players to pull traffic, and community forums that have a lot of interaction amongst the users. The first is easy to deal with, if your site is compromised on one of them, you simply ask to be left alone and they won't use any username/password pairs from your sites anymore. In fact, the one and only time I had to deal with a password list site, the fellow was quite apologetic about the whole thing and offered to pay for any bandwidth overages I might have incurred from the listing.

Community forums are another thing entirely. Because of the interaction within the group, supplying more compromised passwords and stolen content becomes a way to make a name for oneself. This is definitely a huge problem and the question is: How do we deal with these community forums that have gone this direction?

My position is that, as a community itself, GFY should not condone messing with them directly. Post the URL of these places and let us know where they're at, yes. Bemoan the fact that they exist, yes. But if you're planning to attack these communities and brag about it, do it off the forums. Otherwise, a couple of reckless hot heads are going to bring unnecessary heat down on not only the forums and everyone participating here, but onto Lensman and adult.com as well.

Nobody did anything but file complaints with the hosts and maybe post a few pics and comments on their sites.As far as I know nobody did any img sourcing or any ddos attacks or attempted to hack in their database.
Sure you can be a wallflower and sit back and start moaning about what if.
This problem certainly isn't going to go away without some of the troops to go in their and just make a pressance known.
I don't run paysites and I'm sure most everybody has protection.
It just fucking irks the hell out of me,some of my buddies shit are posted and or hot linked and then people try to justify what should be done.
Fuck em, if they want to break the rules,then they can feel the wrath of angry webmasters.:BangBang:

I'm in entire agreement with everything you said, but with one exception-

If GFY allows the harboring and support of "troops" that raid other communities, we're going to end up in community wars that no one will win. It's not too much to ask that you and the few other like-minded members take your bravado and derring do off board to avoid that. When you go through a link to these sites from this forum, register and start acting out, there's a direct path back to here. When you make references on those sites to GFY, there's a direct path back to here.

If you feel that strongly about what you're doing, do so as individuals and stop trying to carry the banner of this community is what I'm saying.
