Owner Real Deal Posted November 10, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 So, I've ran across a Mike Pittel. Supposedly, this is the guy that emailed me last night, the one that was posting on here late as TheSweedishHammer. He goes to the Univ. of Kansas, undergrad, but is from Houston. He's 21, born October 15th. He is also a registered member on Clutchfans, writes for SBNation's blog. Now, either this is the guy, or someone is putting him up to this. Either way, he and I will meet up very soon, face to face, in Lawrence, KS...and hopefully, we'll find out what all is going on then. I sincerely hope nobody is behind this, because that's just a terrible thing to do to someone else. If anyone else knows anything, don't post it in here...just PM me. Don't be so quick to trust everyone around you, even if you're the one just keeping a secret. You turn them in, you may be responsible for saving our forums, may even be worth a free OTR shirt or a spot on the staff, as I really don't have the time to continue digging through the mess -- gotta focus on OTR, not one individual. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted November 11, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Not going to fight him at all, I'm going to just ask him what all he has to do with OTR, if he's a member, and if anyone put him up to it. He posts on four other message boards, blogs for two. He'll talk to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted November 11, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The hacker part was to get the truth out. Otherwise, this wouldn't have been a serious issue for the board as a whole, although I still consider it one. It took less than one day to figure out what happened. I hope people take a mental note of this. Basically, we have a clown or two on the forums that decided to get with a non-OTR member, have them register and post trash under a real person's name (Mike Pittel). I'm not going to name the people involved, although it certainly isn't difficult to figure out one or two of them (I already said their names to two of my mods last night, in fact), but I'll say this much: don't ever get on that personal level with me, ever again. Delete all of my pictures from your hard drive, also. If something like this ever happens again, I put my life on it that I'll delete those pictures myself, along with everything else you have. As a site owner, it's not difficult to redirect you to any site I want, using htaccess. Easiest thing to do. Start thinking about the dedicated members here who don't want to put up with your childish games all the time. It's comical, yet very real, to bring my personal life into this, because it only makes you into more of a stalker, one that has a black and white life, either to be cool on a message board or to cause problems (or both). Let me finish this off by saying what I wrote in one of my email replies: you're going to fail...and you did, and you're lucky you're still here, along with everyone involved. Hitler would've dipped you in acid. I'm telling you that the next time you do it, there will be more than just a ban, and any redirects I set up will be done on multiple message boards as well, as I have enough pull to get it done on most medium-sized forums. Matter is resolved, like I said it would be. Topic closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
