No, SL is full of deviants.
"stealing" an account which pw is public is not deviant, it's lame.

there's also the RL Kasparov versus the flying penis thing on youtube. Anyone know which came first? (pun not intended but too good to delete :o)


I remember seeing this one...

I think Anshe holds the title of being first.

That happened I think almost two years ago.


And yeah, sucks that someone couldn't leave a fun project alone.

To that person, If you are reading this and you are the one that hijacked the account.. you suck.

Perhaps it was a Linden who got wind of the "experiment" and locked the account?

Perhaps. But when I tried it again it just gave a generic pw doesn't match error. If the account got locked I would think it would throw the "please contact customer service" one? Tho maybe they deleted the whole account altogether? Most likely the world will never know.

The password did change at least once, but the new password is up on the blog:
http://sharesvoboda.blogspot.com/

Some jackass did submit a cancel account request on it though.

Another interesting thing; you can see who's done funny money transactions on the account by looking at its transactions history.

*snorts* What did you expect with a public access account?

While the idea is intriguing, I just can't see it lasting longer than maybe a week, before someone does something stupid enough to get the account banned anyhow.

I'm wondering if it's an "official alt." If so, you haven't been able to do that for a year-and-a-half or so, but that was my guess, since it did cost that much to have an official alt. Might also explain how the original creator was able to recover the password, because I'm not sure if they ask for a security question during account creation anymore (do they?)

Again, my apologies. Now I ask that you remove the information you have about me on your blog, as well as your commentary that I am "mean" and "old".

If I were mean, I'd have kept it. If I were old ... um, gee, ok, well, I'm not mean. :(

I made a mistake. I erred.

I'd be leery of signing in to a public account like that because of the chance of there being records connecting me with an inventory that could have any sort of illegal or otherwise problematic content in it.

Share now appears to have a Snapzilla account. This is nice, because to add to her scrapbook, one only needs to use the Send a Postcard option when taking snapshots, hopefully providing whimsical subject and body text info. No upload fees required.

Oh cool.. this will be fun to track.

So, in the future if someone hijacks the account for nefarious purposes the original owner will know it and can rectify it? If so that is a great thing and this could be a long term and fun experiment in spite of griefer attempts.

Not to mention there are other ways to give "managers" the ability to manage your store or other business without requiring them to log into your account.


None that enable one to reset a vendor that some idiot hyper-clicked into stack heap collision.

The snapzilla account is safe, but I'm not sure about the actual avatar account. It comes down to the amount of security info that SL required when the original creator registered the account.

Hmm.. well we know it flushed out one, so maybe it will flush out others in the future too. At least we know it is recoverable. It will be interesting to track that aspect too to see who is trustworthy especially with the view transactions log.
