Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone have any experience with Gareth Skarka?

He did? I must have missed that. :confused:

You can't see how unproffessional posting a rant like that on some piddly little message board is?

Last I knew he was claiming that she didn't invoice him for the work...

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

I can see it. But that wasn't why I posted in the first place. My original post asked if she had anything to worry about, not whether or not she was being unprofessional. I was simply looking out for a friend and some posters decided, rather than to answer my question, to tell me how unprofessional she was being.

She probably should worry. She looks like she's worse to deal with than Skarka.

But we don't know what was said. GMS could have meant to pay them once one complete payment cycle had completed, but we have no idea how he phrased it to them.

The point is that even if it was a misunderstanding, she automatically assumed that her interpretation was correct (as seen in her chiding him for being late for the payment and not notifying them about it).

Now somebody said that GMS has said that he was waiting to be invoiced (another common occurance in the industry, especially with artists), and that could also explain why they did not receive payment on May 15th.

However, that also makes her look worse, as she states in her first post that she has been trying to get paid for over a month, and if she was expecting to be paid on May 15th, that says that she is lying since June 15th hasn't arrived yet. That would also mean that she barraged him with emails between the 15th of May and  June 7th when she posted... about 3 weeks worth of time...

The more I look at this, the worse she is ending up looking.....

It looks like it was taken down. I assume it was becoming more than it originally was intended (i.e. very personal) but that's just me assuming and you know what that means. ;)

Sorry. That was my doing. The thread, while not deleted, is gone. It was causing more harm than anything, and what with the impending Trial of the Century, I decided it best to hide the thread.

It was, incidentally, completely MY idea and decision to do it.
