Didn't Frozzy say something some time back along the lines of he logged into a public computer and was logged in as MrWhereItsAt? And someone else said he should have ... ah... used the situation? 
Maybe this dude also did some such thing? Used a computer at school, then some random geek was looking through his browse history, found a site he'd never heard of (*gasp*) and decided to check it out. Saw that cookies were not cleared, and had some fun. How about that?
At least we know he's not a DL...

I wasn't using any computer at any school or public place. My account was hacked. No one else used this computer on the board at the time of those posts by me. I do not have a "Jekyl and Hyde" issue.
Furthermore, no one else used the computer here. Incidently, what's a DL?
No one used this computer. I didn't use this at school. Could someone put me in contact with the admin of this board, please?

While I'm not one of the great owners... what can I or anybody do for you. 
I've already stated that the IP used for the supposed questionable posts has never been used by anybody else on this site. There is really nothing the site can do.
We have no evidence that anybody from this site "hacked" your account. If somebody indeed did, it was done on your end.

No, I don't. And look. I found some proof I was hacked by looking into the sent messages in my Private messages. Here's what it said:
" seriously...
I'm looking for someone to role play with online... in an erotic fashion. PM me bak and let me know
-C"
That was not me! I don't act like that online or offline. This message was sent to Plotinus on 1-21-04. The day my account was hacked. Could you guys stop making light of the situation and help me out?

As I said... what can anybody do. I can not identify anybody from here that did it, so I can't take action against anybody. And you have no clue either. How can the site or anybody "help you out"?

Try IP banning the other person's account. As in, the person who hacked my account's IP. That'll work. Or just get rid of this account or something.

You could always traceroute to both of those IP's and see at least how close geographically they are. If they are in the same city, or heck, in the same state, then this guy's playing games with us.

And by the way... what you say is not "proof"... this could all still be just a "game" on your part.
Seen from an outsiders position... one must ask why anybody would bother "hacking" your account... or how they did it. It wasn't anybody (staff or member) from this site unless they used a IP address that they have never used before to access this site... highly unlikely.
You have to admit that your story is hard to accept... and as I said, what do you expect in the way of help?

And who's account should I IP ban? Aren't you listening. There is no record of ANYBODY on this site using the IP address that was used to make the posts you suggest were made by somebody hacking your account.
There is really NOTHING we can do. You have changed your password... and that's the limit of what anybody can do. If it happens again... I will be more than willing to run the IP checks again and see if there is anything that can be done... but if the search comes up like this one did...

Do you have people following you and spying on you??
If the answer to these questions is no and all the rest you claim is true then the only dog that hasn't barked is that the mods did it. 
Or...is your house haunted??
Or...do you have an unexplained desire to look things up in "Catcher in the Rye"?? You could be a mind controlled gov't agent with one or more alters.

Have you run a worm catcher?? Your box could be a slave to a script kiddie somewhere.

Who knows if the ip addresses I'm reading are even the real ones used. As you know, it doesn't take much skill to hide behind fake IP addresses...

Ah, but then your argument that it couldn't be anybody from this site falls apart.
But the point remains, there's nothing anybody could do.

True enough... but the same holds true for his claims as well
Again... the question why anybody that would have access to the needed information would do such a thing escapes me. If somebody on the staff wanted to "play such a game"... there would be better targets than a relative newbie...
So while I'm trying to take this seriously, you have to admit it's kind of "fishy"....
And your last point is what I've been trying to say all along... what does he expect us to do in light of the fact that there is no proof and that the IP addresses don't point at any suspect?

This does appear to be the case. What more to discuss? The ever watchful eye of Ming has been notified. Cferra, unless you just need some "whine time", then I'd say you have done what can be done. Case closed...move along...

I will indeed keep a "watchful eye" on the situation. Nothing else to do at this point

 Now this is becoming a spam fest... Wouldn't the best be that this thread was closed and if Cferra have more info that can be helpful, he can send it to Ming or someone else in charge?

I'm surprised Cferra, professed as having experience being a mod at other forums on the Internet, doesn't know what DL means. Is this a 'Poly specific thing (DL)? I was under the impression that it wasn't ...

After more reflection, I think this was always a spamfest or perhaps a troll. How is it the responsiblity of the site owners to take care of OUR security on OUR computers??
I agree; lock it down.

I did run similar checks as Ming and maybe a few others. My conclusions mirror his.
