I seriously doubt Kwitset made that site, because I\'ve seen it pop up at other forums from multiple sources, and some people were genuinely surprised for awhile. So don\'t get harsh on the poor guy, because I\'m sure it\'s not his fault.

So at the very least, he knew it was a joke, but it\'s highly unlikely that the creator of a site that obviously is in the throes of it\'s 15 minute fame would come to our board and let us all in on it.

im just wondering what your doing stealing my line (i started it!) and putting it in your signature?? bastard.. :)
and aye, i thought mm was a bit harsh on him too..but hey, mm\'s the big guy, and lord knows im just a little guy
-
if he wouldnt have altered the URL in his thread then it wouldnt have been so bad
this is the link he posted, an article about lucasarts
http://xbox.ign.com/news/41353.html
this is the redirect from that link
http://www.whatever.com@68%2e1%2e17%2e8/%7Ei%61in%70/445214.htm
the bogus info
deception is not funny, thats like posting a link to something, and havent it redirect to that lame "you are an idiot" site. its just not humorous
the article itself is funny, but far from clever OR original. it has been done repeatedly for ebay auctions that coldnt be allowed like people auctioned off one of thier kidneys
-
hehe it\'s going to bring Death not be Death. =) This is old news. It was posted all over the place and it was a Hacking thing. This is not the only time this happen to IGN.com.
-
Even without the URL just reading that "article" was evidence enough that it was fake. IGN has a bunch of monkeys writing for them, no doubt, but they do not write as badly as whoever wrote that garbage. Far too many errors to be anything professionally done, even quasi-professional IGN.
This has been reported to MS, I wonder for how long the author will think he is clever...
-
nothing was hacked
it was a simple redirection, nothing more
the @ was a giveaway
-
Yeah but what I\'m saying is, Kwitset did not do that himself. More than likely he just copied it from somewhere else, thus why I provided links to other forums that had threads on the fake article.

Kwitset posted a redirected link, but it\'s obvious he copied it from somewhere else, and that he did not add the redirection himself. I\'m just saying that you\'re falsely accusing him and it\'s not right... his only crime is being gullible.

no, he knew what he was doing
anyways, he got himself banned hours later as he "attempted" to overtake the board with two of his friends with LOTS of spamming
the kids didnt know i was browsing the forum at school, and was around when they started. a few clicks, and all thier efforts were wasted
tsk tsk

No deception intended. I thought everyone would know it was a joke.
Everyone at Madonion.com had a good laugh when it was posted, and I thought it would be the same here.
