    With the account scanners back up...

    My Real word account seems to have been taken by a scanner and password changed and everything.
    :/

    Shouldn't be too surprised, but still sad to come back to.

    Account scanners? They are exactly what they sound like. Programs scan a list of accounts of specific criteria (I think and assume this is what they do but i'm sure each scanner is different).




    (Also, if anyone has recently acquired a 4L Common RW account - within the last 45~ days - please contact me so i can give details and if you have it offer something for it back? :c )

    I'm not sure how this would work. How are these people cracking the accounts they scan? Brute-forcing definitely wouldn't be worth the time and I doubt someone with db access would waste their time on RWs.
    Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

    Scanners work like most other programs.

    You input account information in whatever format.
    The scanner signs in and takes not of everything.

    Though, scanners don't actually /secure/ the accounts.

    Oh okay. I thought she meant someone was using a scanner that just cracked accounts en masse lol

    Scanners were still being used during Captchas.

    If TNT implements them again they're just gonna be fucking themselves.

    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left

    You speak truth.
    I don't know what happened when people saw Captchas were gone lol but I assume page hits skyrocketed and people started "coming back" en masse
