Cigar Pipe?
You see a masterful engraving by Blaze. On it is Blaze, bears, boars, and foxes. Blaze is striking down the bears. The boars are screaming. The foxes are in a fetal position. The image relates to the return of Blaze in the late winter of 2009.

Is it A tuxedo or THE tuxedo?

Oh, that reminds me, a whole bunch of people are probably going to ragequit because of this.

You really should've encrypted the site better gaiz.

Well, I've woken up now. :)

What Delamore discovered is that he could create the user "Jorb" and thus gain "jorb"'s access to the forum. I can at least assure you that the access was limited to the forum and the forum alone. It was made possible since I switched phpBB's database from sqlite to MySQL -- apparently MySQL does case-insensitive string-matching by default! (If anyone had insinuated that before this happened, I would probably have laughed it off, saying "Right, not even they can be that stupid". Apparently, I underestimated them...)

The problem is fixed now, by using MySQL-specific SQL extensions to mark the relevant column as "binary strings". Grumble grumble. Grumble.

I, for one, am quite glad that the problem was detected so relatively harmlessly. I'll leave any other judgement of the matter to how violated Jorb feels. He doesn't seem to have woken up yet, though. I've changed the forged posts as having been posted by Delamore.

Loftar is a nice guy, though, you can't really have fun with impersonating him, because you can't be mean.

jorb: It's called creative license. You know, that thing you seem to want to apply to logic, grammar and coherence? :)
