I don't think Loke owned the Mods at all - the mods don't code the site. In fact, it seems no one codes the site at all, as nothing ever gets fixed.

Also, it was a pretty simple hack, and relied on an element of social engineering. Many people here could do that any time they wanted, and while funny, it was not impressive, and I don't think it should be condoned.

Speaking of Pwnage. I work at a dealership, and we had this customer in the store last night, who would not make the deal because he said another dealer had our price beat. Also, we did not have the right truck, but knew where one was that we could get.
Well, apparently he went to the other deal this morning, but couldn't get the truck, because my boss got on the phone first thing this morning, called the manager of other dealship, and bought the truck the guy was looking at there.

So, anyway, I walked into bosses office a couple minutes ago, and he had this customer on speaker phone, and the guy was yelling at my boss, calling him every name in the book. As it turns out, that was the only truck in the region like it. :)

Now the guy either has to buy it from us, at what we want to charge, or forego the truck he wants. We'll sell it, whether he buys it or not. LOL

That's why no one trusts a car salesman. I hope he buys from someone else.

I think, though, the de facto winner has to be Loke's little stunt so in reality I believe we are really looking for the number two ownage of the year thread.


While you're at it, why don't you add in PAB since you guys apparently hate him as well. And remember, ownage has to be something that really put some one *in their place* and there are few threads that I can think of, if any, that could be nominated but otherwise, no.

I run OOTY, and unless I'm banned, without internet, AND dead, no one else runs it.

Especially not Little Miss Muffet.

the one about your mom using Itunes was pretty bad or the one about your dad and sister having their own internet connections.

Funny given who this is coming from :)

Okay fine, he owned the admins. Both of them.

But yeah, he owned the mods too :laugh:

We bought that car, because they guy said he was coming back, and wanted us to find him the vehicle.
It's the customer acting like the slime, in this case. He did not do what he said, then when he found out we had procured the vehicle, he got pissed at us. Pay attention. We were gonna make him a deal on it., but he did not get what he initially wanted.

Meh, they didn't put me in my place, it just shows that ATOT will rag on me just for the sake of ragging on me, hell check out my jury duty thread, that thread is the most obvious example of that... I stand my ground on what I said in the threads you mentioned and I'm not backing down, apple is the root of all evil and I'm very much against waste.
