2018-08-16 at 1:38 AM UTCI just realized there is a user here who can help you more than anyone.
Somebody who was on Totse in 2001 and even earlier!
Have you talked to him about it yet?

2018-08-16 at 1:54 AM UTCNo, I haven't. I have been reading his extensive post history, off and on. In the midst of that I have been acclimating myself to the who's who of TOTSE. Quite a history there.
If he knows me he'll find me.♡ -

I cracked your account on Totse, because you let the e-mail address you used to register your account expire. I re-created the e-mail account and used the Totse password reset tool to reset your password. -

I didn't realize you still needed it, because you hadn't used the account for so long and I figured you had abandoned it. I hacked pretty well all the apparently-abandoned accounts from 2000-2005 and handed them out to people who couldn't post because Jeff had disabled registration and disappeared for over a year, and also to give to users the Fun Bunch has banned unjustifiably. Then they tried to find justification to ban me for giving out the accounts, but I had several decent mods like jackketch step in to support me. -

Why do you only have stories from 2006+ -

I've got stories from before 2006. Like, in 2005, under the handle, SpectraL, I went up against the dreaded acidmelt in a direct confrontation, whereupon I reduced him to a quivering mass of hysterical foolishness and he not only deleted my account, but also started deleting a bunch of other users' accounts. By the way, acidmelt was an extremely shitty and tyrannical administrator, prone to fits of anger and rage and revenge. But I came right back under the -SpectraL moniker and challenged him again, and that time I won, with support from half the staff. Acidmelt was forced into a reluctant retreat, with his tail tucked between his legs. True story, before 2006. -

They are not synonymous, but hacking does encompass cracking. Hacking is basically when you use any way possible to gain some kind of control over a protected system. Methods to gain such control could include methods such as cracking, phishing, backdooring, cloning, man-in-the-middle attacks, malicious scripting, shellcoding, or even social networking. Hacking is just a cover-all term used to describe the action of getting into a supposedly secure system. -

2018-08-16 at 12:27 PM UTCBack on DH "hacking" was when some idiot gave their login info to a "close electronic friend"...then they fell out... and the person with the login info logged in to their ex friends account and deleted it or posted shit all over the forums.

That would be compromising. The difference is hacking has the malicious intent. You can compromise something with no malicious intent and that's not hacking, but if you compromise it with the intent, that's hacking. -

I finally understand your problem. You operate on a set of definitions of your own construction. Hacking is, in the IT sense, nothing more that unauthorized access to a computer or network regardless of the hackers intention once access is gained.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
