[OT] Bungie H3 Forums "Under Attack"

Can we change this from being tagged as an update to [OT]?

But it is quite on-topic. This means that there will be no more AR posts in b.net forums. Is the same thing happening at HBO?

Why do you think this means there will be no more posts by AR? A moderator's account got hacked. Bungie admins have posted saying as much.

There were several very explicit posts by the moderator's account. This is not in game in the least.

I think I am almost ready to concede the point on the OT. After further research via HBO, a post from lukems sheds some light there as well:

: All the stickies in the Halo 3 forum on Bungie.net are gone, and ninjas are
: being blacklisted. NINJAS. Is that even possible ?
: Could be AR rated, could be a ninja gone mad, could be a hacker.

To quell this before it even starts to burn: It was a hacked moderator account. Nothing more. Sucks to lose a bunch of stuff that was there, though. We're looking into things.

Yeah, if they aren't referring to AR having hacked b.net then it is OT.

I am inclined to think that the hacking was staged by bungie. There is every indication that AR was and AI of some sort and what attacked it was also an AI. Therefore the having the AI go through and erase everything it could makes sense.

From at meta-game perspective, bungie isn't about to touch a private forum for a game stunt, which is why compountintelligence hasn't been touched. If it were just a hacker who was good enough to hack the forums and wanted to screw with the ARG then they would have gotten CI as well.

More likely a post from something else entirely. I don't there will be any posts from AR or that account.
