It’s okay. Guess it’s just another of those cases that proves how easy it is to send the wrong message. I’ve had it happen to me, even though I pored over the message, trying extra hard to make sure it wasn’t ambiguous. I saw your message and thought it was directed at my overexcitement. I’m sorry.
No probs. I too admit that it can be hard to interpret what people say on the Internet, because there is no body language behind it… But moving on. ![]()
Sorry to Bump, But It sounds like someone has been Rick Rolling you guys while I was gone. I swear, some people just don’t know that April fools ends at April 2 at 12:00 AM
Rickrolling doesn’t bother me - I actually like Rick Astley. This was much worse.
Was it one of those Rick Rolls that bounce all over the screen and every time you hit the “X” Song lyrics would pop up?
nightwheel: No, it wasn’t Rickrolling. Actually, I love rickrolling; it’s so hilarious! Remember that day on YouTube? xD
But no, this “123” guy was giving us TinyURLs to spam, spam, and more spam. It was horrible spam that shut down most of our computers, but thankfully, I didn’t click on any of them, but I would’ve if it wasn’t for KE. Thank you so much again, KE! ![]()
Yikes, I’m Glad I disappeared for a little bit. I definitely wouldn’t want my computer to be shut down. It’s having enough problems as it is, since I got hacked last Feburay. So I’m guessing it was a very bad computer virus that caused most of your computers to crash? Did anyone have to restore their computers or reinstall their OS?
And yes, I do remember what that day on youtube ![]()
No, it (thankfully) wasn’t a virus, it was just a spam site that overloaded some of our computers so we had to restart, but it was pretty bad spam. ![]()
[size=167]Here’s a tip:[/size]
When dealing with TinyURLs, try copying the link (don’t click it!) into your web browser’s address bar and type “preview.” before “tinyurl.com/whatever”, and then go to the preview site to see where this TinyURL will take you. ![]()
Hmm, I found one of the links in question that were posted by 123. I couldn’t get the preview to work. So I checked that link the old fashion way (against my better Judgment). It similar to the way a Rick Roll works. But it’s way worse as you guys said. Thankfully, I know how to use Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Forced it to close. Didn’t even need to shut my PC down. I might just report this link so it can be shut down. Thats a message that Kids definitely don’t need to see.
YOU what?!???!?!
You idiot, we told you not to, no? ![]()
Thanks for reporting it. ![]()
I haven’t reported it yet. Trying to figure out which site I should use to report the site.
Nightwheel, where did you find that link? I thought I deleted them all…
Thanks. It has now been deleted.
