SIGH!!! this again... PMs of games do NOT want us hacking their websites as a way to maintain info!!! And if they do want that, they will send an ingame char to help us do so {such as Ed with 7th sons from the Urban Hunt game}. I mean, with ILoveBees, people were trying to hack into dana's voicemail, Aunt's email, as well as generally the ILB website.... and were told not to. It's generally considered in bad taste, and like cheating. IF/WHEN you are supposed to find something out, you will have a means to do so {either by puzzle, hint, or char interaction}. until then, sitback, enjoy the ride, and don't ruin it for the PMs as well as the other players.

I refer to comandment number three of ARGs{located bottom of page HERE]:
Thou Shall Not Brute Force

[EDIT]This was inresponse to a post that got deleted by someone who still insisted he wanted to brute force his way in, and even used the term. [/EDIT]

But if you were paying attention, he encouraged my idea and even said he'd put in a good word for me.

I have an idea. If someone, (not me) can try and get to know one of the officers, it is possible that their password might be guessed. That's not really "hacking", is it? If one of the officers is dumb enough to let slip info like that, why not?

mantis, the login s off limits. They do not want anyone trying to gain access to the site. We should respect that until we hear otherwise.

It's not that they don't want us to access whatever is behind the login, eventually we need to, that's obvious. What they don't want us doing is attempting to hack into the servers these pages are hosted on. The login is purely in-game, but we have to get some other information that will clue us into the actual login -- if not the login/password itself.

I think Andrew is warning us against the guessing because the police are monitoring the logs of the site and will go after people who are "hacking". Exactly what any real police department would do. Remember, he's a character and doesn't know this is a game.
