Looks like Accessories and Shoes were left alone. IT had a busy night. 359 posts? Busy little bugger.

Going in and posting a bunch of nonsense is not ""hacking"".

It's called 'trolling'.

It's also called spamming. Making numerous posts in quick succession and repeating the same text.

No matter what it's called, if I had that person in front of me, I'd flick them on the forehead.

In Sweden there is a tv show called "The Troll Hunter", much like the "Catfish" show here. They track down the "troll" and show up with a camera crew.

Apparently trolling may not be just a silly prank, but can rise to something more frightening, like cyber-stalking. Trolls almost always leave a "receipt" which makes it easy to find them. There are consequences.

""hacked"" always suggest to me that classified or financial info is involved.

I'm thinking that the title is misleading now that I've read the thread so far. Truth????

to "hack" a site means you get in other then the conventional way....ie. registering for a password, creating a log in............bulletin boards are some of the easiest online hacks...................................raven
