[quote=abrar13] There are other profitable ways to hack Neopets -_- less jackass ways =\ [/quote] Variety is the spice of life. Even for asshats. If I get carried away with the potty language here, just yell at me, it's a combination of being frustrated by Friday the 13th, and a swing in as far a direction as I can go from TNTs filters (which are one of my BIGGEST complaints about the site, the filters are RIDICULOUSLY bad...)

OK, I think people complain a bit too much about the filters. They're not that bad. Everything gets hacked. Get used to it. PS3 was suppose to be 'unhackable' and MacOSX was suppose to be 'virus-proof.' Now the PS3 is hackable and Macs have viruses. It just took a while for Apple to gain market share so that people actually even cared to create viruses. I use to play an online game where they made weekly updates so people's hacks wouldn't work. Usually, two hours after the game was updated, a new working hack was made and distributed publicly online. So compare that to Neopets. Even though Neopets has wayyy more hackers on it that the other game xD ~Abrar http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=abrar1646&misc

Read my previous posts on PC security, you'll know I understand your second statement :P

[quote=abrar13]Sshhhh, dont talk about SSing $: You might tempt people ;)[/quote] While that is at least not something that DIRECTLY hurts peoples accounts, it is still detrimental to everyone. It makes it harder for everyone to get high scores and trophies, it causes more inflation across the board, it reduces the NP Ratio of games (making it harder for players to actually EARN their NP by playing). So, while it's nowhere near as bad as hacking peoples accounts, it's still what I believe the scientific term for is a 'Dick Move'. If you're going to cheat, be creative and do it on your own, don't be a script kiddie. NOBODY respects a script kiddie. Not even other script kiddies. And then don't complain when you get Frozen *lol*

I don't understand a lot about CGs and how to know if you are at risk, but I have read many of the posts here to learn. Question: I use the shop Wizard a lot to restock and find bargains. If you are in a shop, make some purchases, and cannot return via the back button to the Wiz screen, are you in a shop that has a CG? I see this more often lately, but I just use the tool bar to select the Shop Wiz again and keep searching.

This sounds unlikely, but as I have not seen a shop with this in it yet, I'll never say 100% ;) But no, the worst part about a CG shop is you will likely not notice ANYTHING strange. And while we have no official word, I have not heard of a single instance of anyone getting CG'ed in well over a week now? Follow the recommendations in the first post and on Dmitri's petpage there, and you should be fine.
