Question The forum haunted by GHOSTS??

Ok so we're all familiar with a certain strange post on the 951 board that has been beat to death and it's now been deleted. Done...but it was certainly bizarre.

BUT...now there's some paranormal activity on the 996 Turbo/GT2 board. If you ever go over there to live vicariously through your neighbors, like I do, then you've surely followed posts by a member named 'cjv' who has a silver 996 Turbo being modified by S-Car-Go in California. It's a story that tickles the imagination; the time and effort spent in transforming his car is remarkable, and somehow most of it is now...GONE!

This guy cjv has been a rolemodel for just about everyone on the TT board...he's polite, informative, and very curious. Lots of skeptics and naysayers about what he's doing but he doesn't give them a second thought. In fact he's made at least 2200 posts surrounding all his modifications, giving literally TONS of information to everyone who wanted to know...and now everything he shared is gone. Search cjv and you'll find he's somehow lost 1400 posts and the threads detailing his car have all shrunk from 15-20+ pages in length to perhaps 7 pages.

Whoa, what's going on?

This place is haunted!

Somebody is eavesdropping the login information..?? It's not encrypted in any way so it shouldn't be very difficult for a semi-knowledgeable cracker...

John D should probably take a look at the addresses where these "infected" accounts have been logging in and see if there are any matches (like first IceShark login from address X and then later on cjv login from the same X ...) ... or what do I know, just guessing ...

No. It's when we moved servers, his account was not moved, and therefore all his posts were not moved.

It's like you can delete an account from the database, and all the posts that account has made in one fell swoop.

Unless we switched servers in the last couple days then that has nothing to do with it...I think you're refering to the switch-over earlier this summer?

There's somethin' STA-RANGE goin' on in 'dis b1tch!!

Search CJV, you'll see that his account was indeed transferred.

What G96 is talking about has nothing to do with the server switch.
