I don't condone the kid and his actions are horrible, but throwing stones at the guy? Come on now. The deed was done, the moderator handled it accordingly, and what's done is done.

(Sorry, just playing devil's advocate here)

Black guy avatar, boo.

(Unless, of course, you are a black guy and chose that avatar. If so, I apologize for the 'boo'.)


yeah I'm a black guy and I kind of look like the avatar. Well, half black...

I match my avatar pretty well, too, IRL.

Also, this is some epic ownage here, Harvey.

Which link?

The OPs link to the thread you guys are discussing...what the hell did the moderator do im confused.

It's in the Computer Help forum. Check the locked thread there. Basically:

Someone steals a computer
Posts on ATOT on how to break its security
Moderator calls him out
Ownage and hilarity ensues

Harvey coulda upped the ownage if he recorded the conversation w/ the mother :laugh:

I'm thinking similar to the scene in "A Christmas Story" when Ralphie's mom calls Flick's mom and tells her that Flick was using the F-word 😀

WHAT! WHAT! PAAAT! GET OVER HERE! WHAT!

*beating noises*

Pat: What'd I do mom?!!? What'd I do?!!!??

hehe, that pic + Avatar is awesome
 
I'm kinda curious how you phrase a conversation with a stranger's mother using a number found on the internet...

"Hi, is this Pat's mother?"
"Yes?"
"My name is Harvey, I'm a moderator for a PC tech forum and your son was asking us to help use a stolen computer from his local school"
"What the hell is a forum? Who are you? Don't call me again *click*"
 
At least if we got enough of the conversation with the mom to prove it was the right kid. An open wireless network, and knowledge of who lives in a house and this could be any neighbor, or ...
