okay now that it's been a few months, I'll elaborate on this !!

I had pretty much everything in place to engineer server passwords, based on public whois information (domain registrar, a few bits of PII, and the domain administrator's email address). I don't want to brag but it would have been very easy to get credentials. Won't say how, because that'd give away secrets, but yeah. I told another FFR user that's in the IT field on how I would have done it, and he said something along the lines of, "it would work really well but bad idea, you shouldn't do it."

Regardless of how dumb I think the idea behind the engine is, I wouldn't have spat in the face of the guys who got this up and running. I would have just broken a few links, is all. Rename files, move around folders, upload a .txt file saying "helo" or something.

not starting drama, just giving some insight to the "shakin in my bootz lol choof empty threats" thing
