*Puts tablet pen away* better tell him quick

I'm telling him everything we type in here.

I think you guys need to take action. This is definitely getting
serious..as I type this, I remember Black Friday, and the disastrous
events that took place.

I got an email prepared for Ray, but hurry
[(*)] GSK [(*)] :: 6 down, 117 to go. -=(((AT SCHOOL, ONLY IM IF

I gotta go to 3rd period (3 periods today) in about 6-7 minutes.
Vikedal says:
-KSG | Stupid 7.5.0244 keeps crashing says:
Im not interested, he blocked me on MSN for no reason
Vikedal says:
mk


That's when I signed off. My password is now letters & numbers.

After a report from Vikedal, Spyder is doing the same thing M A T T did.

[(*)] GSK [(*)] :: 6 down, 117 to go. -=(((AT SCHOOL, ONLY IM IF
EMERGENCY)))=- says:
Besides, my password is conceived of letters & numbers
Vikedal says:
same as M A T T
[(*)] GSK [(*)] :: 6 down, 117 to go. -=(((AT SCHOOL, ONLY IM IF
EMERGENCY)))=- says:
getting users to change their emails?
Vikedal says:
mmmm ok
Vikedal says:
nope

This is definitely serious now.

Vikedal says:
he's gonna do as black friday - fake an update and call it an "official
AW Update"
Vikedal says:
say it's 4.0

[(*)] GSK [(*)] :: 6 down, 117 to go. -=(((AT SCHOOL, ONLY IM IF
EMERGENCY)))=- says:
When's BF?
Vikedal says:
give me RAY's e-mail, i'll send this to him
[(*)] GSK [(*)] :: 6 down, 117 to go. -=(((AT SCHOOL, ONLY IM IF
EMERGENCY)))=- says:
When's Black Friday?
[(*)] GSK [(*)] :: 6 down, 117 to go. -=(((AT SCHOOL, ONLY IM IF
EMERGENCY)))=- says:
ray at activeworlds.com. More reports, the better.
Vikedal says:
he hasn't told me yet, but he's planning on relasing the "Update" tomorrow.


I'm not gonna get mad about this, but I do want something done about it.
If not, I will take further action. I want some sort of scan proving
this guy isn't M A T T all over again. Gotta go.

Most likley a joke/hoax, but obviously dont download AW 4.0's floating
