The thing is, from what I hear YAF is just taking it too seriously. SA is just a website where a bunch of people with no lives get together and make fun of others because they have nothing else worthwhile to do. (no offense) To all YAF members reading this: IT'S JUST A JOKE. WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

This whole discussion is just weird in and of itself; sure it happened, but it's not like you could really take it back now. Things just come and go, and this is something else that occured that will last in history thoughout what is. As some people have mentioned, Something Awful is pretty usual to finding things they seem as "not fit" and then bashing down on them. Now sure it's all in good fun, and can at times be more than just hilarious, until you're the person under the gun. It's good if you found humor in what they said about you, but that still doesn't make it right for them to do it. But everyone has something diffrent coming to them, and there is a lot of history to this place and what it is; especially where people come from and how these boards even got off the ground. A lot changes in time: people, places, events; and Yoshi's Corner and YA are no diffrent than that at all, in fact since they both used to be one they could easily share a story book. Of course, after the loss of so much between the two, there is bound to be unnerving strife that can't be replaced or removed. Even if the source of the trouble had not come from the YC; it likely would have gotten pointed out, merely out of assumption and the issues that once had pained YA when the two were a couple. Every choice you make in life, has an effect that is going to come back and get you later; everyone does get what they deserve. Thus of the sorts, we are taught why to live a "moral" life. Sure, you could debate that the "bad" never get their just desserts; but humanity is made up of revenge and the want to get back at someone. Therefore, if you anger another, while you might escape some, the scars of what you bring out shall never go away. No one is innocent in the battle that had occured throughout the times of what we were, everyone was involved in some small circle; this "ordeal" is just another plain example of what our nature is. We don't forgive, and we don't forget; because of that, the wheels just keep on turning and the flames will rise until the fixture itself will all crash down.
Humor can come from a multiplitude of diffrent resources, and everyone can laugh at something in a diffrent way. Especially the type of "humor" that you can recieve when someone you dislike gets what they should have in their hands. It sort of feels you with that comfort of knowing that there is some justice in the world; yet as stated, you can never always have what you want. What that means is, while you can disbalance yourself for awhile to get the sweet taste of "revenge"; that beam is going to replace itself in time and then you'll get the shock. A game is pretty amusing, until you lose and don't gain any reward; that's something we fail to see as mankind. We like to interact with the world around us, be it negative or positive, but we don't look into the future itself and wonder what effect it's going to bring down upon us. Imagine it like driving down a road, full of signs as they warn you of the coming danger; yet you feel certain you understand your decisions and pay no heed to the correct advice. While this pretty much occured between the Yoshi's Corner and both the YA; in a matter of speaking, while "funny", it shouldn't continue to rise. You can only batter someone so much, before they flip the grill on top of yourself. Some have stated that it's a "good hearted, ol' time, honky tonk joke", but in the essence of that; thats a personal opinion. Not everyone takes something the same way, so you can't expect people in an issue like that to listen surely to reasoning. If you were to go up to someone and tell them "You're a horrible person" and laugh afterwards, perhaps you did mean it to be funny and not sincere. Yet, do they know this, can they tell this, can they read your mind? Thus is an issue online, merely because words can not be stated as "Aw, we didn't mean that"; only a vocal expression can give away that identity. Lazo had stated something very true about the meaning of how we type on here. Depending upon your emotion and the way you feel, what people say to you will effect you in the way you want it to. While they might be saying something "fun" you could take it to be "rude". So it's all dependent on your mind set and inner sanctum.
The Yoshi's Corner and the YA will always have personal troubles, it's inevitable to every extent after everything that happened between them. Yet one thing no one seems to understand that we are just but a board, a mere stopping ground in the route of life. There are so many out there, who thrive on this image that a "board" will last eternally and be your home to live throughout. These people also fail to realize that they themselves change, and so do their likings of people and of events. A board of itself, is nothing more, but what you may see a rental apartment. It is a temporary stop to catch your breath, and meet those around you. A playground where you meet friends, and make some times in your life. Eventually though that bell will ring, and the money will run dry; and you'll move on, and forward ever so much so. These places are but stepping stones, you jump from one and go to the others; and in each place, you take a sip of that water. Every drink lets you gain more knowledge of people, and remember the experiences that you have brought about. This is origin of what you are doing here, and what YA is doing there; the events that happen may remain in memory, but they will soon wash off. No man can last forever, here in this place; we get altered, pushed aside, replaced for others that people find to be better. Then we sorely walk away, into another pasture, to begin a process all over again. We are in ways, a pack of cattle that moves when the grass no longer sprouts from the grain, and due to such; we can not leave our ability of nature and all that we are alone. However, while this place may be but a field, it is as well a representation of pressure, horrors, and rancid times. Being behind a computer screen can change a lot and make you someone that you aren't, at least in your own abode.
There, in the safety of your home you can sit, and type anything on that keyboard of yours. You can let your fingers fly, filling in where you think the gaps are needed. And in doing such, you never have the chance to see the expressions of those around you. Guilt is not a thing that runs through our veins, troubles we do not realize; for we can't see the harms that we cause. We do it, because we want to, it makes us happy; but you have to sit and think of yourself for a bit as well. You may not like someone in school, persay; but do you admit that to them, on top of your lunch table; pointing fingers at them and humiliating them in front of the whole school? If so, then you're a brave one; but majority wouldn't resort to those standards. However, here in this place, every word you say goes in one ear and stains; even for an online home. We are still humans, just hidden behind this clear screens. People love to rant here, names don't remain in secret; and to admit it, some people deserve to get bashed. Just, don't lose your humanity in the process. You still have flesh, you're not a dragon, yoshi, feline, canine; you're a man, and always will be. You can imagine here, but don't let things go to your head, just be yourself and in the process remember that there are emotions here just like there are in real life.
The events of Yoshi's Corner and YA have always been in a matter of speaking, like the American Revolution when America had broken away from England and it's powers; at first though, reluctant to leave such large economy, and then eventually breaking the chain into their own existance. In ways, the Yoshi's Corner broke out of the YA; after knowing that they could exist without it. Sure we all have pains toward each other, and who deserves what can't be said. Even if it is funny, even if you do enjoy it; don't forget that, everybody in some way gets the ring around. Also remember that in the attitude of things, everyone has to grow up some day and leave this place. While we might enjoy it now, don't let what people tell you get under your skin. First off, they don't know you, and likely never will; second off, we're online, they can't see who you really are. So don't let what people remark upon, eat under your flesh and give you bad thoughts. As humans, you have to understand that not everything is going to go the way you want it to. Just live your life, and get your laughs; because this thing won't last forever, neither will you.

well, I was going to post here yesterday, but I posted in PFYs DA journal instead XD.
as I emphasized before, trying to get back at this board is useless and will, over time, counter attack those individuals who want to make a fool of themselves by spamming. Of course, I am not pointing fingers or giving forecast at anyone who would do such a thing, I just want everyone to know I am not oblivious to this topic ^^.

nobody from YA is going to do that. We've settled it all. Anyway news from YA: Hip-hop forum thing whatever has attacked YA. The problem is persisting, but it's being taken care of. It's just some heartless and people who have... well, Ima not go into detail on that because bad things might arise... But anyway, YA spamming here is not going to happen.

Status of YA: The problem has passed on with lingering effects. Some people are unable to access their names as somehow they were hacked. YA has closed its doors to say, not allowing anyone to join YA for the while. Overall, it's over. And I'm glad it is. I just hope that nothing else happens. It's just too harsh to see.

The board probably had some kind of glitch/part of it crashed or someone forgot their password. I don't think anyone would bother to hack that small of a part of the board. I do believe YA is a board that's actually hosted by Soul, and not by some free message board provider. Bugs are quite possible on hosted boards in particular. Do you have any more definitive "proof"-type stuff that would suggest hacking? I'm curious about that.
A board I mod at gets weird glitches a lot. vBulletin seems to have a lot of bugs. Anywho, recent bans often get reset, which is really annoying. And there's this very irritating bug where the avatar size cannot be changed (either that, or the admins are still comatose) -- says you can't upload an avatar that's larger than fifteen bytes.

I just checked out YAs forums, and it does seem to be the case that they won't allow anyone to check the boards anymore for the time being. I guess that's a good idea to do so. I'm sure things are calming down, but i'm still curious to know if they've let it slide, i'm still hearing comments saying that they're blaming Yoshi's Corner for it all. You should check out this (Contains strong language). Scroll to the bottom to find "Mafioshi", he is the Admin of YAF for those who are not sure, and it seems like he will NOT let it rest at all. For an Admin, he's complaining about the work load waaaaay too much, and Lazo, i'm sure he wants your head on a plate.

You have to keep up with applying security updates on boards you host, if you don't, you could be looking at a few deleted forums, or if the hole is really serious like the phpBB viewtopic.php vulnerability, root access to the server. :S Isn't this matter over yet? It's really starting to get old now. I was very surprised they enabled registrations so early(and without email OR admin validation! What were they thinking? This is a basic board security precaution, not just under these circumstances!), to allow that swarm of no-lifes in. They should have enabled complete admin validation for a few days to make sure their board wasn't swarmed. Boards without at LEAST email validation make me question the board staffs abilities to manage a board. >>

Just a note. I was not here from about 6 PM to now. I did not write that. I apologise and must now change my password. Very strange anyone would bother with my account, not like there's anything interesting to it.
EDIT: SO LIKE I JUST HAD FUN TIMES CHANGING MY PASSWORD.
And there we go. That was an adventure.

I know this is old, but because it's up here again, I have to reply TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! !. I'm sorry. But that was kind of funny. I don't even really like yoshi that much anymore, I just come here because I have close friends here. I'm sorry to say they made some pretty funny jokes about the subject- though rude- and that we should all get on with our lives.
