Password Reset

I feel the same.
PW changed.

Was wondering about that malarkey. Glad to see everything's back up in one piece.

Well, there was a thread made earlier by someone I suspect to be the hacker.

This thread, right?

Basically, something good came out of this mess. This doesn't change the fact that an account got hacked. The intention was good, the action much less so. And I'm generally unwilling to just overlook that.

If I find that somebody just won't listen when he is told something that he should listen to (which is a sure sign that I don't want this person as admin), then I certainly wouldn't waste my time with hacking his account. I would just say "screw you" and leave.

So, Jacob should probably learn something from this incident. At the same time, he should crack down on the perpetrators.

I saw it was in Incoherent Babbling, and suddenly wasn't interested anymore. D: Anything that comes from there, I'd take with a grain of salt...

Nope, this one: https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=78100

Now that's far more likely to be a suspect.

That makes better sense...



There's some in IB sometimes...

Once in a Blue Moon... a very, VERY rare Blue Moon. However, I do see your point.

just a bunch of stupid assholes with nothing better to do than ruin something that you have have worked hard to create, Keep up the good work!

You've done a good work already, even though there is always room for improvements, don't let this thing get the best of you :D

Wow. I read that topic here, which I'm guessing is what started all of this mess...

https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=78100

... and I've got to say, some people may not like what I'm going to say but I'm going to say them anyway.

Like his post is fucking amazing - amazingly fucking stupid that is.



This is the type of post that makes you look like you're threatening someone. "I've shown I can have control of something. My proposition is for you to give me some sort of power. Or else this could happen ~or~ to prevent this from happening."

Yeah... I highly doubt when you basically threaten someone on the internet - which is what was done here if you read between the lines - that person is going to cede to you.

There's something people need to realize here. THIS IS JACOB'S "HOUSE". You're in his home. If you don't like being here, GET, THE, FUCK, OUT. Plain and simple folks. Jacob doesn't have to do a damn thing for any person here.

First, Jacob does this on his OWN TIME, for us. I thought it was utterly absurd when I read that post further up in that topic when the OP suggests this is ALL Jacob does. Yes, I'm pretty sure Jacob just sits around on his computer ALL FUCKING DAY doing absolutely NOTHING else. Man, if you believe that crock of horse shit you're an idiot.

Second, all of this is FREE. People take WAY too much for granted. Jacob lets people freely join (hell, you don't even have to join if you don't want to), read the material on his site, and Jacob handles all the issues like making sure the server space is paid for every month and such. Remember, THIS IS HIS "HOUSE". He could be an ass and do some shit like set it up to where you have to pay to join, or make it where basic membership just allows posts in the forums. No. He's a good guy though. He lets people join, read the doujinshi that our esteemed translators (who you should also thank EVERY TIME something new is posted) take THEIR TIME to translate and edit the scans, and post essentially whatever they please in the forums.

But somehow all of that's not good enough? Ok. What ever. Don't like it. Fucking leave.

The subject matter by which my screen name comes has one of the greatest automotive forums on the net. It really is. The WHOLE place - and it's a large place - is moderated by ONE guy. Just one. Even here, there are moderators for each section, but this man handles EVERY section. How does he do it? The forum self-moderates. If a troll appears, the members can quickly down-rate and speed-ban. If there are other issues, it's typically easy to actually notify the moderator if something drastic needs to be done. Honestly that happens every blue moon.

Yet again, here is the underlying point, it's the moderator's "house". He runs the show. If you don't like the show he's running, leave.

Fakku has something really special going on here. It's actually one of the few places on the net that is able to present doujinshi the way it does. I myself will admit there are some issues with the overall presentation of the page. However, if I really didn't like it, I wouldn't come here. Do I just leave then? No. I understand the intricacies that it took to come up with everything here and the dedication it takes to keep this place going.

Remember, Jacob can "pull the plug" at any point.

The point of this is that Jacob can run this place however he pleases, and if you don't like it, go somewhere else.

tytytyty for getting the site up and working <3 We know you'll keep doing your best to make the site as good as possible.

[color=blue]Seems like the majority of the hackers complaints were technical ones. I disagree with the hacker in that website development is an easy thing. Perhaps for them it is, but I think any amount of programming stuff and the like is as complicated as trying to solve a rubiks cube in 30 seconds while on fire and blindfolded. It's not like website developers just come up to Jacob and offer their services for free. There's an incredible demand on the working force for them, not only because these kinds of things are virtually needed everywhere, but also because there's simply not enough of them.

If web development was so easy, we'd have a lot more programmers and all of this wouldn't have happened. So instead of trying to ruin the site (they did cause damage (albeit minor), see the first post) they should've asked whether they could help out. If you think this site is so easy to fix, then fucking do it. Shut up about it and help Jacob. I'm sure he'll be more than happy about that.

Edit: I saw some technical things in the post though. That's a lot better than randomly complaining.

@Oneshot: It doesn't matter if the end result is good. You don't go and break the law because it somehow is convenient for you. That will hurt people. If I needed to from point A to B and didn't have a car, I wouldn't steal one. I would walk. Having no moral values doesn't give you character, it takes character away and brings you down to something distintively non human. It's different sorts of ethics that make the world spin. [/color]

Fiero, I agree with mostly everything you say. This is a great site and it works pretty well. However, this doesn't nullifty the fact that a site is never perfect, and if certian users see legitimate problems that need to be fixed, then it should at least be looked at.

Obviously, this is ran by one guy, who has gone to great lengths to give us out needed fixes of pleasure, but it is ALWAYS open for improvements.

Also, I want to thank Jacob for creating this site!

Yeah. I agree with this and you get a + rep. I didn't address it in my rant, but the thing is if someone is REALLY upset about how something is ran or done here on Fakku, post about it. Make a new forum topic, address it to Jacob, explain the issue, and let him and others see it. If it were to have been done in that manner, Jacob would have seen it, and it would have given chance for fellow Fakku members - who may have the same view - to give their opinions or thoughts.

No. Instead, a butt hurt person who has their panties in a wad looks at the site and just assumes he/she can take matters into their own hands and has to prove a point. Like a child that didn't get the toy they wanted. How fucking lame.

I'll say it here cause I don't say it enough - thanks Jacob. You do a fucking great job with the site. Keep doing what you do.

Damn those hackers for soiling our sacred grounds.

>.< I feel tainted....

Welcome back :)
