ok im trying to be good for both sides, even tho he should be banned, but if (s)he knows how to use a proxy who knows
1) i think this user should be perm banned, im not an admin but i think stealing a users account is bad for the rules
2) i dont really think the cops will be knocking at this persons door, yes hacking is wrong but police have better things to do then catch some loser that stole then gave back the account
3) i dont think you should say out in public, yet about how you are trying to trick him
4) even if you use a proxy to hack into something it iss VERY easy to get the real IP, contact the proxy provider and look in the logs for someone that accessed this site at this time, not very hard and i think the proxy owner would comply
4) this issue is pretty much over, this person will most likly or not get caught, but the good thing if you have your account back
5) even if this person didnt give you your account back peo or todd would probley chnage your account pass to something since you use the same ip all the time and if you can prove you are really you... i think peo would understand
6) hacking is illegal, no matter what degree it from hacking a forum account to hacking into bill gates bank account
7) not only is hacking illegal but impersonating someone is also illegal and its called FRAUD...
8) shame on you for publicly announcing your password to the world, i understand if it was a mistake but still you should review your info before you post, and also shame on you for using the same pass for both your sql and your forum accounts.. people can easily access your forum config and find the pass and then try it with all diffrent accounts you own
who cares about my spelling, i dont hope you injoy thsi read
