My Snake Game [RESOLVED]

**Madboy** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 03:58 PM

Vision IT:

"Apology accepted"

How can you accept an apology to someone with no regards to anybody but them self in putting crap on your PC? Your just as bad as him, noone like that deserves apology, when you need help SnakeMaker im going to laugh at you. I thought something was dodgee with him!

Besides his snakegame was ****, good old Free Zone Alarm saved my ass to some extent though.

URGGHHHH

**VisionIT** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 04:07 PM

I was being sarcastic!

His host have e-mailed me just to say the matter would be investigated and if it's found to be true (which it obviously will be) they will caution him. Not really strict enough TBH

Madboy... i'm not taking the 'certain substance'... but if you actually downloaded and executed it, then it's naivety on your part which is the problem.

I mean, let's be honest... he's not the only one to have done it... and you're not the only one to be infected by it... and yet people still run software from people they don't know! If it's an admin or genuine member... then maybe i'de think about it... but no way would I download that to my main system for him!!!!!

I ran it in a VM window, and all the firewalls went beserk... so I knew something was wrong! That's why I e-mailed his host!

Anyway... it's done & finished now...

**brad jones** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 04:09 PM

Okay, two things --

Among other things, SnakeMaker's user name and IP were both banned from this forum. If he is wise, he will put as much distance between his IP (computer) and this site as he can thus no point in writing personal attacks at him here.

Secondly (as the admin, I need to say....) , profanity is a violation of the AUP (acceptable usage policy). I've been a bit easy on this due to the issue that is being addressed; however, there is a limit to what can be tolerated. At this time, I'd like to ask everyone to keep it clean. We have some young ones that use this board.

Thanks all

Brad

**Madboy** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 04:09 PM

Yeah, i didnt even dload the exe. I ran the source in VB, but my firewall blocked the connection to the internet (His shhity update), but i found some crap on it

**Madboy** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 04:15 PM

Its not the fact though that my machine is at risk, other peoples is too.

And quite franctly he desevers everything thrown at him. People have valuable money software on there PC, sure theres backups why lose it though? It is so annoying that someone can stoop that low, take it from me, if you want money get something called "A JOB

"

As for young ones brad, i know what you mean. Sorry for my language, but that really does pee me off. What makes it more annoying is i actually tried to annoy him. Im a 17 year old college student, and in any free time i come here to help people. (if im not raving and down the pub

)

Well.....i guess he has gone to another forum to do the same, which i dont care because i like this forum and a lot of the people in it. Oh well, someone always takes it too far

I'll stick to that

What happens if his IP is dynamic?

I'll never see the point of banning via DNS/IP!!!

**StevenHickerson** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 04:37 PM

If his IP is dynamic (Which is 90% of all internet users) then he will come back in a day or two and if he is smart he will create a new account and not say anything about this and we will never know the difference.

The only way to ban a dynamic IP is to ban the entire subnet, but then you risk banning thousands of people that had nothing to do with it.

So IP banning is actually only a deterant to stop people for a few days at most.

That was my point.

I hope nobody wants to register with his old IP then!

**Wokawidget** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 05:23 PM

It's definately a difficult issue to police

The mods can only do so much, most of it's out of their hands and nothing can be done about it.

To be fair, if anyone runs compiled code that random people post on forums then to a certain extent they "deserve" anything that happens to their PC.
I am constantly ranting at people to post code and not compiled projects, but most of the time it falls on stoney ground

What I would like to see, and this is my personal opinion and no-one elses, is for the AUP to be changed so that the posting of compiled code would be a violation. However, this shouldn't be addressed here, and would be for the mods and Brad to decide on. *nudge* *nudge*

VisionIT, you would run compiled code from me wouldn't you? Go on, you know you want to

Woka

**NotLKH** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 05:28 PM

Could it be...

naaaa, can't be!

but still....

**morrowasted** · Dec 2nd, 2003, 05:53 PM

hahaha, thats great!!!

mine's static, i better watch myself

Hmmph!

Not even Hide nor hare left!

**Kasracer** · Dec 3rd, 2003, 12:06 AM

BS like this is gay.

Someone did this to a very large forum I used tor egularlly visit. he posted a program that he said he made (which he didn't) and supposedly it does some calculations. Instead, it searched for ALL pictures and then replaced them permenantly with goatse (www dot goatse dot cx if you want to see the nasty ****, be warned).

He was temp banned from posting for about a month, lol.

But I can't believe someone like Snaked tried something like this, when most/all of the people here are programmers. Was he really that stupid?

I wouldn't...

I dont even run code until I've checked it (even code from you/Mendhak/Merrion/etc).

**Spajeoly** · Dec 3rd, 2003, 04:57 AM

I mostly make sure I check code from Woka.... You never can trust anything that's fuzzy. Like his av.

**Pc_Madness** · Dec 3rd, 2003, 05:01 AM

I'll run compiled code from older members (excluding Woka, hes a doosh bag

), but only when its testing a finished app.

**mendhak** · Dec 3rd, 2003, 05:01 AM

I don't trust my own code. So I don't code.

But I need to code, it's my job.

So I code under a pseudo-name.

**Pc_Madness** · Dec 3rd, 2003, 05:08 AM

**Wokawidget** · Dec 3rd, 2003, 05:27 AM

Grrrrrrrrrrr...I have only ever posted one bit of compiled code on here. And that was an EXE that popped a MsgBox up that mimiced a system error and said it was toasting the reg and win files and that your OS and apps needed re-installing. When you clicked OK another MsgBox popped up saying "That is how easy it is to toast someones computer...Don't run compiled code!".
It was a post in response to someone who was trying to get users to run his compiled EXE and I wanted to show how easy it was to trash a PC.
What I couldn't believe is that people actually ran my EXE, which was 100% harmless and just contained 2 lines of MsgBox code *sigh*

Perosnally if I wanted something testing I would post the code, not the EXE anyways, so there would never be a need for any of you to be asked to run my compiled code.

But it's nice to see you all trust me you bunch of gimp scribbling plastic vicars...Booooooo hog warts!

Woka

**si_the_geek** · Dec 3rd, 2003, 05:56 AM

I trust you (why

)

I know that you (and most other people) wouldn't do something like SM did, but it doesnt mean that you never make a mistake.. which is why i always check source code that is posted here.

I've seen API calls in code that haven't been called correctly, and have caused a nasty crash; I've seen code to delete files that doesnt specify the file(s) properly, so it deletes something else. Just to be safe, I always check first.

**NoteMe** · Jun 14th, 2005, 07:31 AM

Where is the EXE...

**wossname** · Jun 14th, 2005, 07:53 AM

I loaded it into your large hadron collider. Just press the big red button.

**NoteMe** · Jun 14th, 2005, 07:55 AM

Will do, will tell you how it worked out afterwards...

Ohhh...I just found out that the LHC project isn't finished and ready to run yet...

**wossname** · Jun 14th, 2005, 08:06 AM

So it would be really bad if someone was to fire it up before its ready?

*sidles towards the door*

**NoteMe** · Jun 14th, 2005, 09:20 AM

So it was you that started the alarm earlier today....we all had to evacuate and take a shower naked togheter.....you sill silly muppet...

This post alone makes this worth digging up

There is nothing with this thread that makes it not worth digging up. It's a symbol of an era

The golden age of VBF

**Shaggy Hiker** · Nov 21st, 2012, 10:56 AM

The other thread that Woka linked to is one of the all time classics of VBF.

Besides, it apparently resurrects the dead. Howdy Noteme!

Lol that was the one I was looking for. Thanks!

**Arrow_Raider** · Nov 22nd, 2012, 07:07 PM

I love this thread. It is the source of all snake game jokes.

**Shaggy Hiker** · Nov 23rd, 2012, 11:40 AM

Speaking of raising the dead....

**FunkyDexter** · Nov 24th, 2012, 03:49 AM

Wow, I always wondered where all the snake game references came from, now I know. I'm quite stunned. I only wish the links to his site still worked because that must be fascinating reading.

And there do appear to be a few zombies shuffling into the thread.
