Okay I'm not sure if these Yahoo! Alert messages are real or some spam. I got three of these "verify your account" e-mails within fifteen minutes and on only one of my yahoo e-mail accounts. Thing is, do I reply? Cause I'm not really sure right now.

That's iffy. I'd say ignore it, but I'd hate to be responsible for your account being deleted if legit.

[SurgePox]

Hell no, that is definitely not legit. Your first clue is that it is only on one account, if it really were yahoo they would hit every account at once. secondly yahoo doesn't NEED that kind of information from you, they already know it.

a scam for sure.

[spirehouse]

Have to agree with Surge. Yahoo and other companies like it tell you they will never ask for your password. Like Surge said, they already know that information.

[Blue Madness]

Well, everyone said it already...

[smashbro]

I you guys.

[Serras-Kai]

Send a fake password.

I am hungry.... o.o I am going to get a cup of coffee and grab a bagel. ^.^

[smashbro]

Edit below: Eh... yeah I suppose.

[Make Believe Is Great! =D]

I suppose so, since it's the "Whatever" thread.

[The Meta Knight]

Keep the twittering to twitter.

Blegh. Organization, people! One website for one thing, another for something else.

Edit: If anyone wants to suggest something for a new game, please do so in the Whatever Thread

Heh. ^.^; I actually went ahead of myself and posted a new game without asking if anyone thought it was a bad idea. I didn't notice this part of your post until after I had posted the topic. But anyways, the forum game I started deals with posting a pic within forum rules, and having someone comment on it if they woke up to it, or saw it upon the streets. If this already sounds like a bad idea, then by all means, delete it.


Edit: I have been curious about this:

Notoriety
Notoriety : -34
Positive votes received : 8
Negative votes received : 41
Thanks received : 0
Positive votes given : 0
Negative votes given : 4
Thanks given : 1


These are apparently my status on the forum here, and in which I have been getting a lot of negative feedback, no matter what I do in all earnest, or good intent. But I am curious to know something here... What happens if you get far too many? Do I get banned or something? What do these stats really stand for?

Actually, I posted that post well after you made your thread. I just disregarded it.

If I may be blunt, it could be that you have been annoying, spammy, and/or harassing Mentok here. Also, how do you have -34 if you have 8 positive and 41 negative? 8 - 41 = -33.

[SurgePox]

That should be a seven, not an eight. wait, hold on...
