Cheers,

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge.
Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!
Oh damn, a scareware artist. I'll bet if you visited the site in the link, some activeX or javascript boobytrap would be sprung and your poor windows machine gets pwned by a botnet or backdoor virus.
Please, kill ModeratorTeam now!!

There's a huge amount of hits on Stop Forum Spam for ModeratorTeam, with a lot of different IPs and email addys.
I suspect this is a botnet herder using scareware tactics in forum PM spams to grow his zombie army, through his zombies no less.
Interestingly, SFS was unreachable for several hours today, most likely via a DDoS attack. The money says it was this botnet behind it.

Then, reading through the message, it looked suspicious. No real forum/site admin/moderator would send this kind of reguests (click on this link!?!), and even if the reguest was genuine, sender would be the admin/moderator as themselves.
Glad I checked another_commander's announcement first...
EDIT: Another weird thing was that I got an e-mail notification of this message, but I have the notification turned off in my profile...
Weirdness 2: the notification e-mail (from: [email protected]) came to my work e-mail, which is different from the gmail account I used when registering here!

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
