Inside of 25 minutes.  From activation to detection to eradication.  Boy am I 
impressed.  NOT!  And your log.  You seem to be taking enjoyment as people 
explore the limits of the bugs you installed.  You're not much of a 
programmer.  Sure, people didn't notice that the wrong person owned page, but 
changes happen all the time on FurryMuck, and lots of people don't pay 
attention, they just use it.  Also, anyone with a builder bit can remove your 
infection.  Clue for the Clueless: EVERYONE on FurryMuck has a Builder bit.

I was online at the time, strangely, it didn't infect me.  Guess it's not as 
effective as you thought.  But then, all adolescent hackers like to puff 
themselves up.

Of course, it's bragging like this that gets computer criminals caught.  Yes, 
that's right.  I said Computer criminals.  What you did unquestionably counts 
as malicious computer tampering and there ARE Federal laws against this.  
Lucky for you, Hawkwind is in Canada, but it is a government owned machine.  
If it had been in the US and the sysadmin (who in this case is also a player) 
wanted to be an asshole, you could be up on charges, and unlike the guy who 
wrote the princeton worm, who got off with an easy 400 hours of community 
service, now the judges are handing down jail time.

Virus hackers are NOT very popular people.  If you really want to show off 
your meagre programming talents, do something constructive.  ANy idiot can 
smash things.

Happens all the time.  In fact, your log only shows one instance of TinySex.  
considering that people are on Furry for conversation and cameraderie, I 
guess the concept of a friendly scratch on the head is alien to an asshole 
like you.

Amazing what you interpret as TinySex.  You must not be too aquainted with 
the real thing.  As for Bestiality, I thought only humans had net.access?  If 
you think there's real animal sex involved here, you're even less in touch 
with RL than the Furries you hate so much.

And why DO you have such a hard on for harassing furry anyway?  I never 
understood that.

Maybe you're so repressed because you can't even get VR sex either.  That's 
why you spend your time harassing other folks who aren't doing you any harm.  
I bet if it weren't for the net, you'd be joining the PMRC or something.
Oh, and notice in the rant about tinysex at the top of this post, he makes 
sure to mention that he has a RL sex life.  RIGHT.  It comes montlhy in the 
mail with a plain brown wrapper.  People with SOs don't have nearly as much 
time to Muck.

More puffery.  You didn't crash Furry.  It didn't even breathe hard.  You 
didn't infect even half of the players online.  In less than half an hour, 
your bit of bullshit was neutralized.  I'm not impressed.
