    I haven't been here in over 3 years (seriously, 492,684 posts were made since I last left), but I wanted to say that there was a hacker trying to get access into my account from 183.221.190.108; this originates from Beijing, so it was possibly through VPN. Please check that nobody's account was compromised, and that's about it.

    EDIT: Unrelated, can the guys in charge of YouTube take down the songs I made that weren't a collab? I have no intention of ever wanting to even hear about them again. Unlisted is fine.

    Wow first someone resurrects your old welcome thread then you get hacked?

    Not got hacked, no, it was an attempt. They failed after 5 tries; having a stupid password actually works for once.

    Also, I looked at the mod list, and I was quite amused at the fact that my account came before any of the current mods/admins.

    October 5th, 2011... you really have been gone along time.

    Well, thanks for the heads up, and feel free to stick around.

    Nah, unlikely that I'm going to stay. Honestly, I don't even know what to do here anyway, pretty much everyone I knew left.

    You could get to know all of the awesome new members.

    There are like, maybe, six awesome new members.

    The rest of these guys are totally lame.

    Okay I'll admit I'm not awesome, but am I really lame? Why isn't there a middle ground.

    It does kind of suck going back to old haunts. Still sometimes starting over isn't so bad.
