If you're going to pull spin control, it's generally best to send a neutral member, rather than someone who has done harm to the community maliciously and recently.
Alright. I suppose I'm qualified. Ylca is an ex-LLJK member who until recently was (any maybe still is) welcome to continue playing with us even though he wears other tags now. After some disagreement with some other members over theorized game bugs, or new player training, or some other trivial little detail that only he is passionately emotional about, he made a complete fool of himself with long rambling speeches akin to the disgruntled ramblings of the elderly. When people poked fun at him for taking everything too seriously, he erupted into an even more potent surge of lunatic ramblings. At this point people instructed him to calm down and take it easy, but he instead left LLJK and seems to see himself as some kind of weird internet vigilante, taking on the criminal underbelly of the cRPG community* (*Goons who made fun of him for being an idiot)
You don't have to take my word for it though. All that is just as public and even in the same place as the lines he himself quoted, and this thread is full of his pointless crusading, since hellowrold isn't even denying he is responsible.
From what I understand, there have been two isolated incidents where an LLJK member has done something like this, arguably one, since hellowrold has had BIRD tags for ages but I wont get into semantics anymore. Both have been banned and taken full responsibility. While I can say for absolute certain that in both cases, the clan members acted without the knowledge or co-operation of their clans, they both seemed to share a common goal. They both made a spectacular and attention holding display of Ecko's dismal security. For someone who is in charge of so many NA servers, he does not seem to care about the safety of the accounts of those playing on them. He even outright refuses to take any responsibility for the damage made possible by his lax protection of the admin password, and his easily exploited website. While I don't approve of their methods, and can't speak for them, I'd like to think they were doing some good with the bad, and maybe these incidents plus the others preformed by that group of people will serve as a wake up call that Ecko needs to manage things better. Neither event caused damage that couldn't be reversed after all.
I doubt it though since his behavior since has been just an "internet tough guy" act, showing that he is regressing, rather then learning. Not including the other "hackers" both Zealot and Hellowrold have taken responsibly and paid the price they knew they were going to pay. (not really hacking when the admin password was just freely available, and the peoples who's accounts were stolen had no passwords apparently, and were easily viewable on the nacrpg website) Dragging things out further by trying to get an entire group of players banned is just moronic. Makes me wonder if all these people lumping an entire clan together and calling for their bans, are the kinds of people who discriminate against entire races in real life.
