ok guys... This month seems to be quite a nasty one... Busts all over, and that goes for all towns across the world.. .I thought I'd never get any lamers or pheds on my board, but lately a guy with the handle THROFT SINTZAI applied on my BBS.... He said he had an elite board and had TONS of contacts and shit... WELL FUCK THAT! I got the # for his BBS and gave it a call.. It has NO files on it and all messaging.. When I asked him why, he said it was because he was still setting up his BBS software... Well that was a crock of shit, cuz i asked somebody else on the BBS what was with him? And they said they knew nothing about the board being elite, and that he has had that software up for over 3 years!!! So it was all a lie.. But this is not the bad part, He had already called my board and seen my login ANSI with the following text... ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍBBSÍNAMEÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍIBM/AMIGA/CONSOLEÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍTrUeÍ0-3ÍdAyÍWArEZ!ÍÍÍÍÍ͹ ÌÍÍÍÍÍNUP:??????ÍÍ9600+ÍONLY!ÍÍÍ͹ ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍNOÍLAMERS!!!ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ ÌÍÍÍÍNOÍRATIOSÍFORÍLDÍCALLERSÍÍÍ͹ º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Well.. He Thought This Was a big enough clue of what was on my BBS, so he called the police and I got a HUGE amount of calls from them, questioning me and what my BBS was all about.. Well since I had thought about this ahead of time and had a PD & Shareware Access set up on my BBS I let them call and check it out without hesitation... After about 3 hours of questioning I was left alone to worry... Well that was 2 weeks ago, and just this week I was raided.....EVERYTHING was taken...Computers, Disks,everything...but because of the questioning a couple weeks earlier, I had deleted everything, so there is no record of any users from my BBS, so not to worry, but I still want to apologize for not telling anybody sooner, cuz I thought it would pass....As you can see it did not.. Well I am severing ALL ties i had before, so to all those who i left hanging, I'm sorry and I hope to get in touch with you soon.. This is the Last all of you will be hearing from me...I was never that big of a name in this "industry" but that just goes to show you that it can happen to anybody... I will not and cannot say who i am for obvious reasons... If you knew me, then you will get a letter from my friend, stating who i am... But as SOON as you get done reading this if you run a BBS or know someone that does...Check for a user that goes by the names: Throft Sintzai or Jack Spade His Real name is Ben Meader... I found out the whole reason he turned me in was because he thought (and still does believe) that he will get a reward for turning us in.... SO DO NOT CALL HIS BOARD AND DO NOT ACCEPT ANY NEW USERS THAT GO BY THOSE NAMES!!!! He has busted 3 local boards already and just recently I saw he started calling Long Distance... He is currently only on Warrior's Guild and a few others, but he is expanding his search, so be careful! Thank you all for listening... -=Small ž=-
