Hi Simon or whoever else might see this article, i've seen at least four different "people" who post maybe 1 game articel and then a dozen or more daily news blog posts. these are in rapid fire fashion... stephen jacobs is the most recent person to do this...
It has happened in a matter of days so someone/somebot is really hitting gamasutra hard. creating fake accounts? maybe putting a limit on how fast people can post blogs?
ah ok cool, it did seem weird that they bothered to use real names.. instead of vihagr@4u.ru heh heh. Yea i figured someone noticed this, but was surprised no one was annoucing something. thanks, i think this is a great feature and hate to see it get compromised...
yay apparently my blog got hacked too.. lol. I was temporarily "Caleb Gorner". Oh well... not that i could help it, but i appologize for the spam news folks.
yea i feel a bit like a schmuck because one of the first victims, i thought did it on purpose... so my appologies... i mean if i'm going to spam this site, i'd rather use headlines much more classy like buy vijagra 4 u and herbal bobbie enhancement... :)
Yeah that was me, and I've been pretty shocked myself .. like who posts this here .. omg, me? :-)
And then the purpose of the attack wasn't clear to me, and I thought if it was angering the rest of the members against me .. well it's starting to work :-)
But now that everybody got his own medicine .. :-)
heh heh. yea for sure. yea i don't get the purpose.. you can't click "read the article".. and it's not like they are selling something... very strange attack on the blog.
Glad to know you weren't responsible for it!
