   93Feb18 11:48 am Legalize Hemp! from Roger Enright
 This morning at about 9am Enright House was biffed.  The entire message base 
was scrolled.  All rooms which aren't directory rooms have been killed.  
Please recreate the ones you are interested in and try to pick up where 
conversation left off.  
 
  To insure that this does not happen again, strict security measures have 
been enacted.  If you currently find yourself without write privs, send mail 
to me with real name, real phone number, and you will be voice verified.  
(hopefully)  Since I remote sysop this BBS from Sacramento, I will not be 
doing the voice verification becuase I cannot afford the LD charges right 
now.  Unless someone volunteers to do voice verification, there will be no 
more new users with write privs on Enright House.  It's better than getting 
biffed again.  
 
  Zeylan tells me that Swagland and Bowhead were also biffed.  As Bill Clinton 
would say, "We're all in this together."  (I wonder if getting biffed is like 
getting ones taxes hiked?  :-)  
 
  Regular users of the board should have write privs.  But since I have 
switched everyone to NO PRIVS and then switched selected people back to PRIVS, 
you may have been missed if you do not call often.  Do not necessarily 
construe from not having privs that I don't trust you.  Maybe I don't, but 
maybe you were overlooked.  Send me mail (or to sysop) and we can resolve the 
matter.

 Wow.. Swagland was really biffed up too. It crashed, and it took Swagman a 
few days to correct the problem. I hope Zone X BBS doesn't get hit 
either..huh..

 I was the first caller after he biffed it the first time (before 8am).  He 
only biffed two rooms then, but two rooms is too many. 

   93Feb18 10:22 pm Mental Liquid from Luminary Coremaster
 Swagland has been taking a lot of abuse lately. First we get biff users with 
personal vendettas against other users (me being one of the attacked users), 
and then the board is completely biffed. And tonight, it doesn't even connect. 
Now, this slimeball is hitting other boards. This angers me. 

   93Feb18 10:35 pm from Zeylan
 Seems you and DDX provoke most of it. 

   93Feb19 12:07 am A word from Dark Doctor X
 Not really, the people who hate us do.  

   93Feb19 6:55 am from Zeylan
 But the point is that you MAKE them hate you. 

   93Feb19 3:53 pm from Amarantheus
 WHo biffed the board?  I haven't been around for a week or so.. 

   93Feb19 5:06 pm Legalize Hemp! from Roger Enright
 There is NO excuse for willful destruction of a BBS -- which is essentially 
what happened.  Nothing anyone could have said would provide justification for 
doing this.  The fault lies entirely with the Board Biffer who is too childish 
to deal with his problems any other way.  
 
  It's happened before, but it won't be happening again in the future.  Not by 
someone that hasn't been voice verified, anyway. 

   93Feb19 7:18 pm from Swagman
 I've upgraded the software at Swagland with some modifications to deter 
Biffer Idiots.  It's unfortunate this sort of thing occurs, but then the world 
is heavily populated with idiots in general and Telecom seems to have Biffer 
Idiots in specific. 

   93Feb19 7:47 pm Kizmiaz from Guy Fox
 "You make them hate you." 
 "I provoked me to burn a cross on your lawn, you're black." 
 "It's my job to drag you to the gas chamber, you're a Jew and I'm a Nazi." 
 "I had to beat you up, you looked at me funny." 
 Wake up and smell the cappuccino, Zeylan. 

   93Feb19 8:05 pm from Zeylan
 Oh shut up.  Spare me your stupid PC comments. 

   93Feb19 10:00 pm from Testicle Tentacle
 Unfortunately, Zeylan's right. Luminary and DDX have done more damage to 
Swagland than any biff ever has. Biffs are usually easily eliminated, but you 
two persist, like Telecom Termites. Swagland used to have character, but you 
two have turned it into a digital sandbox.

 . I have to admit that being biffed has produced within me bitter-sweet 
 . emotions. While it is a total bummer that our rooms and messages were 
 . destroyed during the attack, the whole process of rebuilding has really 
 . brought out of me a kind of patriotism--a we're all in this together 
 . sort of mentality. In a sense this BBS is stronger than it ever was 
 . before; battle seasoned if you will. Never thought I'd ever get sent- 
 . imental about a BBS. 

   93Feb19 11:59 pm Mental Liquid from Luminary Coremaster
 Zeylan, go back to hell. And speaking of that, who the hell is "Testical 
Tenticle"? Get a life, bastard.  

   93Feb20 12:32 am Mental Liquid from Luminary Coremaster
 I just tried calling Haunted Manor... And Zeylan TWITTED ME! Have I ever done 
anything to HM? No. Have I ever posted a biff message there? No. Do I usually 
post about 2-3 messages when I call? Yes. And I know WHY he twitted me; it's 
all because of that message where I simply told him to go back to hell.  
  
    So what does he do? He insults me and my friends incessantly, is it wrong 
for me to be upset at this? Check out the caller log... He called, obviously 
read the message, and logged off immediately afterward. He was on for one 
minute.  
  
    Now what? Did he run crying, tears streaming down his cheeks, to his board 
to immediately twit my account? Apparantly so. Hey, man, don't dish it if you 
can't take it. You treat everybody like dirt, and when they defend themselves 
you lock them out of your super-special board. It's probably futile to tell 
you to go back to hell-- You must already be in it, to act like that. 

   93Feb20 12:37 am from Zeylan
 Luminary, I twitted you and locked you out because I don't want to deal with 
you.  I don't want to see you call my board, I don't want to bother with you.  
You annoy me.  I don't see why it should disturb you that you don't have 
access to a system run by someone you hold in such contempt. 

   93Feb20 12:03 pm A word from Dark Doctor X
 Oohhh..  Well, I'm not going to say anything about this. I doubt that I had 
any troubled effect on Swagland. I think biffs are much more annoying. One 
single message saying "Hehe.. yep" is MUCH harder to get annoyed by than 
something like "I AM THE BIFF GOD I AM A COMPUTER PROGRAM DESINGED TO BIFF 
SWAGLAND HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!" about fifty times.. or one of Newstyle's endless dot 
biffs. If you can't understand it, that's not my problem.    
 
 Another thing, I have been recently logging in with a fake account on 
Swagland, doing the EXACT SAME thing I do with my Dark Dr. X account, and NO 
ONE even cared to bug me about it! It seems that MY HANDLE is the bias. No one 
CARES WHAT I DO. THEY CARE (in the evil sense) ABOUT MY HANDLE. Now that I am 
out in the real world, I have to say it ten to twenty times a day, so saying 
it here won't wreck anything. 
 
                             GET REAL
