Preliminary reports state that up to 17 new IRC users went missing after being fooled by an anonymous chatter into pressing "ALT" and "F4" at the same time.?On January 12th, 2000 at about 8:00pm EST, an IRCer named qwejkdgz joined #mirchelp on EFnet and silently observed the channel.?Once all the operators had /quit or set /away, qwejkdgz enticed the newbies into a "special help offer" and told them that they could receive "automated answers" by first typing out their question then following it by pressing ALT and F4 simultaneously.?Microsoft Windows users who followed the instructions were immediately disconnected from IRC, and were exited out of their IRC client.?EFnet Officials were contacted, however the much-hated irc.lightning.net admin Callas was the only person who returned our email.?Callas would like to remind all users to never trust anything an AOL user says.?Ever.?Read More...

Ahh, this brings back memories from the good old BBS days. Newbies would come into chat asking questions, someone would tell them to type ";x" for help...and POOF! hehe. And then there were the people on 14.4 modems who would go into real-time chat with people on 2400's and flood their modems...and POOF! Nice to see that some things never change....like the great man said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

What?? How is this news? This happens every day. This is almost as bad as the people who believe someone who tells them to hit ctrl-alt-del.

I remember when windows 3.1 came out people would play a game and asked me how to shoot and I told them alt F4 and come on in DOS... I would tell them alt-ctrl-del and in come cases the power button.. or even reset...

I don't know...sounds like Egor, but everything's spelled correctly. So it must not be him. I can't guess.

Loath, you're an idiot. This is the worst story I have ever seen on dtheatre. And that lame ass defensive comment a little bit above was just LAME. I'm just sick and tired of people who cant admit that they've done something dumb.

That has to be the world's lamest comeback. At least try to think of something clever to say.

Yes it's me and yes I do occasionally spell everything right.. (occasionally being the key word) Man I let this story go as an example why I delete 70% of your stories you would be wise to learn from it lest ye become hated on the internet the same way our good friend ellis is.. (grant it you do have the ability to spell).. in this token I wish to proclaim my final threat to remove your ability to post stories and make your admin access only work for changing spellings which I will agree you do a good job at.. So do better because you are going to have to do more than just being my younger brother to stay an admin. Because we do not want a reputation of being a site that posts shit I must stand my ground.. try to remain on topic.

It's a private joke between me and Egor. I stand corrected.
