As per the request of the Vnboards Moderators and Managers:

No detail will be released on Lifetank XR at this time. Expect an update in the next day or two on this matter. No downloads available, and the plugin's source is not on this server, so don't even begin to try to find it.


I can however say, "The site is ready for memberships, forums, chatbox, calendar and many other features."

A release of Lifetank Xr with details of what's included will be released shortly on these boards after IGN/Vault Network has determined it proper and correct.

Please check us out and get your own member only rights enabled @ http://www.lifetankxr.com/

Ouch, was that a personal attack? That was not my intention on posting this. I was simply stating that the site was up for Lifetank Xr and that I could'nt simply discuss it's intentions or content and to visit the site to enable features like replying to posts on my forums and such.

Keep the drama away sir. If your gonna be rude, don't respond. From what I see your'e just attempting to get this locked or deleted. It's blatantly obvious.

"Look, here's a website. Please give us money so we can keep it."
Please. Anyone would have to be missing a number of brain cells to donate to you before you've even released anything.


MODS - this isn't baiting, they are asking for money and I sincerely doubt there will EVER be a release of "LifeTankXR." Lil Blub has never released anything. Ever. I thought asking for money was against the rules? In any case, consider this a warning - donating to these people is not likely to produce results.

1. I don't go around vnboards asking for donations, which is the key difference.
2. I also don't go around vnboards asking for donations for something that doesn't exist yet and probably never will.

Thanks for playing.

I agree and ask those who are purposly baiting this thread to stop. It's against the Vnboards ToS.

Edit X2:
Flaming, Bashing, and Trolling
Hate posts and personal attacks will not be tolerated on the VN Boards. Treat others on these message boards as you would expect them to treat you. Talking trash about another user is a quick way to earn a banning, as is posting topics specifically to provoke a negative response from someone (aka trolling).



As so,

Thanks for the kind responses from everyone else.

Let's clear it up I am not out to get any money on this. I did not ask openly on these boards for money. It was a feature that was on my website. I apologize if you took it wrong.

-Akilla.Net

first, where on -VN- boards has he asked for donations?

second, I guess its ok to make money as long as you arent asking for donations?
(btw, you are asking for donations by posting a large paypal link/icon on the main page of your website.)

maybe you should master the game you are playing before trying to bash someone?

Anton, I say we let it go.

This is not about the other people's baiting/flaming/bashing intentions. It's about the announcement of the wonderful site.

Lots of great features are enabled when you become a member, including forums. happy


Let it be known:

  • Forum posts made on that site do not reflect onto these boards.



  • I have NO links to Lifetank Xr plugin as of yet. (I am respecting the Vnboards/Ign.Com's wishes to not post any links to the software yet.)



  • I am asking anyone who posts from this point forward to only discuss the release of the website (http://www.lifetankxr.com and not the logistics of if UCM is correct or incorrect, if the plugin created is correct or incorrect... etc...

    You can't pick a theme unless you register, and you can't register if you can't read the site tongue .

    Not that I'll be registering, just lending some advice.

    I appreciate your feedback on the site Akilla.net .

    Again bashing other's work isn't permitted on these boards per the Vnboards TOS.

    My reference for this statement:

    Quote:
    Okay, I can discuss the website.

    Guide to making a scam^H^H^H^Hweb site like www.lifetankxr.com:

    1. Register domain
    2. Download phpnuke
    3. Pick hideously unreadable color combination on the default layout
    4. Add paypal button
    5. Upload to host

    End Quote.

    As for your references about PHP and such, take a look at your own site. Your actually have errors all over yours. I just wanted to inform you of this technicality. I am not intending to bash you or your site.

    As an example:


    Warning: main(gen/pastchatter.html): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cont-chatter.php on line 52

    Warning: main(): Failed opening 'gen/pastchatter.html' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cont-chatter.php on line 52


    I can help you fix this if you need help Akilla. I am great with PHP.


    But I appreciate your concern about the site. Now the color is awful, I give you all that. I AGREE!. I am going to have to fix that very soon! Thanks for the heads up, and technical problem I am having.

    1. I can tell how good you are with php. So good you can run configure.php on phpnuke. GJ!
    2. I see you continue your life strategy of poking around on other people's web sites. The akilla.dyndns.org site is a private development site, not meant to be functional to the outside world. For a functional version, please see http://www.akilla.net/.

    From what I hear, though, you prefer snooping around sites to find source code, so I can understand the mistake.

    Bashing peoples WORK is not allowed? Since when?

    From the ToS:
    Hate posts and personal attacks will not be tolerated on the VN Boards. Treat others on these message boards as you would expect them to treat you. Talking trash about another user is a quick way to earn a banning, as is posting topics specifically to provoke a negative response from someone (aka trolling).


    If bashing peoplse work was disallowed, all those people that bash It! plugins all the time would be long gone.

    Sorry, you can say just about whatever you want about some product (assuming you use reasonable language). It's when you take it personal and start bashing the person that the mods get involved.

    So, it's perfectly okay to complain about a sites horrible choice of colors, the total lack of any artistic sense in the design, the unreadability, the pure amateurishness of it, the lack of anything more meaningful than what would appear to be desperate bid for attention; all of that is allowed, as there is no personal attack on anyone. And it does not matter if whether what I say is true or not, it is still allowed.

    But if I were to instead bash the creators of that site for having zero ethics, the morals of a pig and the verbal skills to match, that would be disallowed, no matter how true it was.

    ENOUGH. Can't we have ONE thread where someone doesn't bash or bait another person? Keep this thread on TOPIC. Do we need a tutorial of the VN Board Rules?? I think everyone here needs a refresher course: HERE read THIS! Keep it on topic people!

    See, the problem here as stated above in the beginning is they are bashing, baiting, feeding into this thread to get it locked.

    They are getting what they want.

    I can see it.

    All I posted for was to notify and allow people to view my site without dis-respecting the vnboards/ign.

    I have accomplished this.



    This thread is NOT about anything else but the website. Everything else as far as I am concerned can be removed.

    << This thread is NOT about anything else but the website. Everything else as far as I am concerned can be removed. >>

    Okay, I'll keep it on topic.Since it is discussing something that is objective (proper web site design), it will tend to be more opinion then fact.It looks like a cookie cutter template type of site. That may not be a bad thing depending on the cookie cutter used, but the site just looks blah.

    The only problem I've found with the cookie cutter portal systems is the weaknesses. My clan forums have been hacked a few times, and each time I find another 'well known' flaw in the security and close it.

    It was about 8 months back that I finally stopped anyone managing to hack in to the admin control of the site, it was only the forums left. They have managed to hack that three times since, deleted all the posts and group info. It's secure finally after I got the hackers IP (he didn't use a proxy) and he piped up with what weakness he was exploiting.

    Portal systems are great, but you MUST keep them bang up to date or your a goner.

    Keep it coming. happy

    And yes it's a cookie cutter site. Time will of course allow for updates to graphics, content and more feedback. I appreciate this cookiecutter feedback. I am glad you have identified my flaws. applause

    Managers Decision has come down regarding the admin detection discussion.

    I am going to quote directly from -Mithan-:

    The Vault Network supports the Turbine Code of Conduct and "Admin Notification" is currently NOT against the Turbine COC. If Turbine changes the COC for AC1, we will support them on that and not allow Admin Notification programs. Hopefully in the future the Decal Developers or Turbine itself will find a way of simply disabling this feature for ALL Plugins and it will no longer really be an issue. However, people should not view this as us allowing UCM Discussion on our boards either. Unattended Combat Macroing continues to be against the rules of Turbine and thus the VNBoards and we will vigorously continue to enforce that, as we have in the past.

    I wish to also remind people that personal attacks are against the rules of our forum, so when debating this issue, refrain from calling people names or you may be banned from the forum for doing so.


    So - posting the specifics of the plug-in is now OK, and i thank you for waiting while we reached this decision!

    My question is...

    does -Mithan- know anything about coding and what he's asking in that the Decal Devs or Turbine disable the ability of Admin Detection programs?

    Because last I remember, both the Decal Developers AND Turbine have made efforts to stop Admin Detection plugins from working. If Turbine attempting to break Admin Detections isn't enough, then I want to know what is short of changing the CoC to specifically outline Admin Alarm plugins (which I don't forsee them doing for reasons which I cannot discuss here).

    Admin Detection will only break so far as until the next person who figures out how Turbine changed the packets or flagged the data. If the AC Client can distinguish a normal player from an Admin/Envoy, then it is trivial for any plugin (decal or not) to extract that SAME data and detect an admin/envoy.

    My point is this... Turbine and Decal Developers have both made efforts in the past to stop Admin Alarms, but those were only successful until someone found what changed. To me personally, that screams of Turbine not wanting Admin Alarms. Frelorn asking Paraduck to remove Admin Alarms from LifeTank also screams this point. Is -Mithan- aware of these changes or facts in his information which decided his decision for him? If not, maybe he should again be made aware of this and he should re-evaluate the VNBoards stance on Admin Detection plugins or even discussion about Admin Detection.

    Mithan, Kestrina, et al, PLEASE!

    Drama is good business for IGN Entertainment, and everyone from the CEO to the lowliest moderator knows it.

    Drama makes you money.

    When you come on a thread and warn people, when you ban people, it's all part of the fun, you know exactly what you're doing, and IGN is laughing all the way to the bank.

    Regular drama queens are your bread and butter, not the masses of boring folks who come here to ask a legitimate game question. The big drama threads draw people to the boards the way a crowd gathers at a car wreck.

    That's why you should have a list of the Top Ten Drama Queens, not the highest number of posts. And send them a paycheck every month, because they are sure helping you to get yours.

    Hopefully someday in the future Decal Developers or Turbine itself will find a way of simply guaranteeing that every player of AC will win the lotto, whether or not they even play.

    For anybody that understands the problem space, I think the odds are about the same...

    Well with that being said Krackcode, Lifetank Xr Team Thanks you! kiss

    As for the decision made: thinking

    I am not going to make this a ticket to tell everyone that UCM is ok to do. It's NOT! angry

    I also will state however that Admin detection HAS NOT been removed from their own plug-in LifeTank XI. It was infact only disabled via authentication.

    There is about 3-4 methods of authentication from what the Lifetank XR team has obtained. It says whether or not your an LTXI Admin and allows or dis-allows the Admin Detection of the plug-in to be revealed/enabled. No bashing or flaming, just a fact I have obtained from the team.

    As it is a STRONG concern on the Integrity of Paraduck and the Lifetank XI team.



    However,

    The Lifetank Xr Team is PROUD to announce (As it was a very hard debate.) the feature of Admin Detection to be enabled on the plug-in LifetankXR.

    We on the team can however foresee a change with the Turbine CoC/Eula/ToS agreements in the near future on this exact matter. Possibly with the Decal Dev's also. We will adjust to it as we see fit.

    The project MAY eventually become open source. We are still debating this internally. Expect an update on this matter soon also.


    It is looking like around week folks until release. Please feel free to visit the Website for updates.

    The Lifetank Xr Team would like to also congratulate those who have supported us through this ordeal, we most certainly appreciate it.

    Let us clear something up <3, You got my emails right? right, good lets move on. They are still valid.

    What you are seeing by having your lackies view our source code is our attempt to clean up the Lifetank XI UI (as will be evident with our C# Port). A Detection view is also in the works. The UI will be easier to manage and more thought out, and guess what? Plugin efficiency, and memory handling will improve, Something you wouldn't even be able to comprehend.

    This change was initally drawn up a week or so after the last release, and then subsequently disabled via authorization as it was the simplest way to remove admin detection with the mess of classes that were in that release. Rest assured, admin detection is disabled in Lifetank XI.

    Your attempts at creating flame wars are pitiful. You view our source with blatant disregard for any itelectual property, which means: any modifications we have made. Whats worse (I removed your first name, out of your kind request.), you stole this by prowling around on our web server. Tell your lackies to attempt to authorize with the code they have PLEASE, I would love to see who else is using it when they provide a false encryption schema to the server and are flagged in my log. That is, if you guys can even make it work considering what you are missing.

    Good day.

    Please don't reveal my personal information on these boards in the future. This includes any "e-mails" and "PM's" you have sent me. Also please keep your "baiting" and "flaming" comments to your own threads. If that is such a problem, such as your baiting is... I again remind YOU... of the TOS on these boards.

    To repeat what Lil_Blub said. No publishing real life information. Lil-Bulb posted the generic VN board rules. A better set is the VN forum rules.

    Please read section 4.9.

    Well, since it's out in the open.

    Yes, I know full and well what you downloaded. How else would I know what IP to firewall from my server, a random good guess from an ISP in Arizona? At this point it doesn't matter how you accessed the files, the point was you've been phishing my server for sometime and somehow "luckily" found a directory with source code named Lifetank in it. Stealing is stealing, doesn't matter if you (think) you weren't watched or not (even if it was bait....)

    I don't want you to throw the bait or flame card out at us anymore. With these threads you're making, all you're attempting to do is *bait* us out into saying something (opinionated) negative about you which we have stood taller and ignored. Fact are facts, and anyone who would like to see access logs is more than welcome to send me a private message, I'll proudly prove I'm not lying.


    To end our lovely chat this evening, let me leave you with this: How do you know you weren't allowed into that server and we allowed you to download a crippled version just to see if you'd bite?

    First off, i dont know you, but you seem like a dumbass, so security probably isnt your forte'

    Secondly, IF, and thats a big IF, he did it, prove it.

    If you cant prove it, then just stfu and go cry some more.

    IF you can prove it, then its Federal...do something about it.

    But either way...stop crying.

    They have logs.

    Lil-Blub attempted to fish around the site structure/directory tree until he happened upon the source code which he promptly downloaded.

    Crelic/Replex/Paraduck have the logs which show all of the actions, and the IP can be pointed to an ISP in a state which Lil-Blub is already known to reside. The facts are the facts, and the logs don't lie.

    whether it is worth taking to a federal level or not is up to those guys, but in past experience, it's mostly wasted effort. Lil-Blub should just know better and know that Stealing is Stealing.. then again, we've already all been quite privvy to the morals and ethics of Lil-Blub over the past few days/weeks/months so this doesn't come as any shock or surprise to me. Maybe to others it does.

    Edit:
    I'm not saying that Crelic/Replex/Paraduck shouldn't have taken more precautions and been a little more security-minded throughout the process, but regardless of the source being there or not, Lil-Blub shouldn't have taken that source code with the intent to do anything with it.

    C'relic, take your rant about Lifetank XI somewhere else. Keep it off of here. This is about the intended discussion about the Lifetank XR's website's opening.

    Thank you and have a nice day! hugs

    Well, considering that LifeTank XR will be based upon a stolen copy of the LifeTank XI code, I would say that it's a very relevant issue -- it is illegal to own or distribute it in any form, as it is a serious case of criminal infringement.

    Yula, would lil-blub's posting on Lifetankxr be in violation of forum rule 4.4?

    I think it's pretty bad, if you're willing to go through all the trouble of stealing code from someone, then having your cronies modify it to include admin detection, when it'd take less than a day to write a seperate plugin to do it (I'm just guessing, since I don't code).

    Personally if what has been implied here is in anyway true, and considering why folks are interested in this project, I wouldn't touch this plugin for anything, my opinion, because who knows what else may be hacked into the plugin...I like my accounts just the way they are...in my control...thank you...

    Stated in the ToS:

    24. Criminal Content (back)
    Discussing, promoting, advocating or giving instructions on activities that are illegal (ie- how to kill people, steal cars, break into somebody's house, grow drug plants, hack into somebody's computer, etc) is not allowed. Using our forums to somehow conduct criminal behavior or beak laws (such as fraud) is obviously against the rules.

    In light of these new relevations, the accusations are there, that Lifetankxr is based on stolen source code, which discussing of such would be against the VN Board Rules. All discussion then would be against the VN ToS.

    Also, this topic in itself appears to be doing nothing but causing flame wars, and VN reserves the right to simply ban discussion of it based on that basis as well.

    Please cease all discussion and promotion of the LifeTankXr Plugin.
