I post on behalf of Ywoski Khan who currently cannot access the frium at all thanks to a prank someone has played on him and its not the first time

/120/e3/14032/1.html

that thread link above Ywoski did not write that at all none of the posts in that thread were posted by him and we have a good idea who it is nothing will ever be posted by Ywoski Khan again i believe someone from a past job has got access to his account on the website and is using this to post stupid topic just like that one.

I'm sorry to any of those that may have got offended during that, but it just wasn't Ywoski saying those, and btw he does have a car not a moped, the pranker didn't know that did they, lol

I know Ywos well, and that other thread isn't his style at all, the writing, the phrases, nothing.

Severe, see me in world later :)

thank you Willow, Ywoski is kinda offended by some of the responces but understands they didn't knwo it wasn't him, he's more offended that people do this use someone elses account so post complete shit like this, i know its been quite a few months but me and Ywoski have only just been told about this when a friend saw it, its quite embarassing that its been out there.

only good thing to know is Ywoski has been banned form forums so at least the offender cant do any more damage

yea i'll cya later Willow hun :)

I'm with you on that Paolo... Using "gay" as some sort of putdown is getting a bit old.

While it does suck that happened, keep these two important truths in mind:

(1) Share your password with NO ONE. Its a ToS violation, I believe.
(2) Be sure to use a secure password. For example, my password is NOT FlipperPA. Its not Peregrine. Its not Password.

Using different passwords for different sites may be difficult, but its easy enough to come up with a formula, for example:

Choose a bizarre root phrase for all your passwords. For this example, I'll use booya42.

Second Life starts with 's' and ends with 'e'. Choose the two keys on the keyboard above these two keys.

Your Second Life password, using this formula, would be wbooya423.

For Yahoo, your password would be 6booya429.

And so on. Its a good general practice.

Regards,

-Flip

Flipper, you posted this password technique in another thread a while back, and I have used it ever since :D :D It's cool because to ME the password is OBVIOUS...but if anybody were to see it, it would look like a string of random letters and numbers. Great advice.

wooooo fun cyphers!
02-01-2005 09:24
that's a fun way Flipper, this is one I like, and mind you, I'm outta my mind!

Find some random object in your house,

get the usb # on the back, write it down with a gap everyother position, 8 digits long, so that
89472569
becomes
8 4 2 5 9
and then pick a random word from some other object in the room, say
breezes
and then either interpolate the letters in the complimentary manner, such as
8b4e2z5s9
or
if you wanna be extra sneaky, pick a random number 1 - 10, say 5 and then shift your alphabet over that many to create the cyphered transposition letters
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q u r s t u v w x y z
v w x y z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v
such that breezes becomes gvjjejw
and you then get
8g4j2e5w9
or then swap the "cyphered" letters back into numbers to further confound matters
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q u r s t u v w x y z
v w x y z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
breezes becomes 622994923
so when you put that together you have
8649295239 :eek:
which is a satisfyingly weird and random number don't you think?
oh, having a hard time remembering or too many characters?
Lop off the offending #'s/characters to a good length and break it up like a phone number, such as this
864 9295 :D
not too hard to remember now, is it? ;)

...i believe someone from a past job has got access to his account on the website and is using this to post stupid topic just like that one.


So someone from a past job got his password to the entire universe or his SL password? If it is his password to the ENTIRE UNIVERSE then shame on him for using the same password everywhere. If someone at his 'past job" got his password (and user name) from the job then shame on him for playing at work. And ALSO shame on him for not changing his password after knowing someone at his past job had it -- if that is the story he is sticking to.

Either way, no sympathy here. While I rarely believe these stories about people getting banned blaming it on someone else when in reality it's usually the same person but drunk (or high), he is ultimately at fault for not managing his account properly (TOS violation).

1. I dont use the Password everywhere
2. I did not play at work
3. Sometimes by logging on even once into the website it has caused you to just click log-on on the next visit and it does not ask you for password this is how i believed he did it no fault of mine, all i did was check Forums at that work place

You're a genius, Flip. :D

I'm waiting for some know-it-all to skim your post, overlook the part about the unique root phrase, and sarcastically thanks you for "revealing" your password codes to all.
Or maybe someone will skim the above paragraph and inform me that the unique root phrase, in fact, is a secret(!) and, by gosh, you didn't reveal any passwords after all ;)

Whenever I need a new password, I will get in my car and start driving around the neighborhood. The first dog I see, I will ask its owner what its name is, then I will write down the second and last letters. The second dog I see, I skip -- merely for security's sake, in case someone is following me. The third dog I see, I found out what its breed is, then I write down the last letter of that breed and the last letter of the dog breed that comes after it alphabetically. My last stop is the grocery store, where I will buy something with my discount card. I write down the amount of money I saved with my discount card on that purchase, down to the penny, and append it to the four letters I already have. The final step is to burn my grocery receipt and the piece of paper I was recording the dog information on. Hope this helps.

I would bet it was by choosing "save my password and automatically log me in each time I visit" on a machine at work.

You forgot the final step, and that's to eat the ashes after burning the papers... :p

Dang. I'll never be able guess your password without knowing where you live. I would get completely different guesses if I did that in my own neighborhood.
