Who do you accept?

[GameSnake]

* Newby shrugs.

1. I noticed on your rules page you do not separate forum members from clan members.
2. Your battle.net channel never has more then 3 members talking at once.. And there are way to many idling bots, in my opinion.


Next, a few questions:

1. Are there any non-x86 users in your clan (Mac OS X, at the moment, I know its switching to x86)?
2. Is this strictly a development clan? Are there non-"techy" people in this clan?
3. Would you accept, based only on there posts, iago as a member?
4. Ergot?
5. Newby?
6. Ajan?
7. Ryan Marcus?
8. Blaze?

1. Bleh. The non-clan-members of the forums are subject to common sense. Maybe we should write rules...

The non-clan members of the forums are (for the most part) mature enough to realize when they would be doing something stupid that members / admins do not like. No rules to keep them in line are necessary as of yet...

(Plus, rules often create more problems than they solve.)

2. Blame iago. Blame me too. We take up about 50% of the channel!

Most of us have school / stuff to attend to in real life. So, we idle bots in the occasion that we will stop by once in a while, read the back chat, and contribute to the channel!
1. Uh, I'm not sure if anybody really likes using a Macintrash. :P I'm pretty sure Joe uses PPC (Ubuntu). Other than that, nobody I know of in the clan uses non-x86 boxes (including SPARC and whatnot...)

Does AMD64 / IA-64 / x86-64 count as x86? If not, a few members here more than likely use 64-bit PCs, so I guess they count as non-x86. :|

2. This clan is not a development clan! We did not want to come off like that. We're more of a brotherhood than we are a programming clan like vL or fe and such. I (and hopefully other members) feel the clan will live longer if members in it like each other a whole lot and candidacy isn't judged off of extremely good technical computer skills. If one of us can't program very well or has issues with a computer, we don't care at all. If they need help, they'll get help.

The problem with programming clans is that when they become inactive or they start dying, the group of people that want to join is often immensely smaller than the group of people wanting to join a dying clan based on friendship (since, oh say, a members' friend (who could be the most computer illiterate bastard on the planet) could join and be the member that saves the clan from death.) in my opinion.

3. iago as a member of x86? Based off his post count? No. We do not base membership off of posts. IF a member contributes a lot, they are well liked by the clan and would most likely make it in. So, in a sense, if you post good quality posts (quality > quantity) you are more likely to make it into the clan.
4. No. See above.
5. No. This kid sucks balls. I hope he rots in Hell! Err, wait....
6. Nope.
7. Nope.
8. Nope.

I hope that answers your questions. :P

Gooooooooooo Newby!

I DIDNT START THIS THREAD.

Ryan, you suck at secrecy.

[Ryan Marcus]

No... Really its not me... Check the IPs.. its not me. Is it?

I ran some form of "SOCKS" program for him, I have no idea what it is.. His battle.net name is Clan_Rate (USWest, he is always on WC2/SC).

If I wanted to make something secret, I would not have included my name in the list, and I would have VNCed to my friends computer and posted.

Whats "SOCKS"?

[Newby]

Article of clothing I wear that gets soaked in sweat. :(

[Ryan Marcus]

Oh, so just something he made then?

[Newby]

* Newby shrugs.

[Screenor]

Oh, so just something he made then?

Just takes a screenshot of your desktop every 3 minutes (based on the interval), and sends it to a remote host (his choice). Nothing to worry about.

[Ryan Marcus]

Good, because I block screen captures so he is getting a lot of black..

[Blaze]

Why would you accept a random file from someone?

[Joe]

SOCKS is a proxy protocol. In other words, you just handed your computer over to him, in a limited way.

[Krazed]

Hey guys, look up! Their is gullible written on the ceiling.

[Blaze]

I looked it up...

Smartass. Make that a link you table-murderer.

[AntiVirus]

Ryan, for future refrences NEVER accept files from someone you do not know/trust..

[Ryan Marcus]

He said he needed it for his site, so I ran it. I trust him, I have talked to him over the phone. I asked him if it would harm my computer, and he said no.

Basically, this thing allows him to use my IP, in a sense Does not matter now, closed that port.
