Apparently, this is how its done

Hyper Lobby has not been hacked.
I will vanish after this is posted, you mods have no love for me.

But I am here to tell you that Hyper Lobby is not hacked.

Here's the trick.

Lets create a fictisious squaddie.

Lets say SG66_Pilot is an old well known squaddie and the loser
wants to steal his name and smear him.

He exits the lobby and enters under a new name he creates.

SG66&_Pilot.

Note the "&" character.

The only way to be sure it's not an alias is to double click on his name in the chat and send him a page.
The "&" will show up in the pager address.
It is otherwise invisable.

Next the pager thing.

It's simple, he is sending you an ASCII commanf code string that locks your lobby up.

If you do not try to open his pages he fails to shut your lobby down.

NO I will not post the stuff he is sending.
I do know what it is.

The idiot that is raining on your parade is an old well known HL trouble maker named {Smile>LOL<(:}
It is not Gahlen Thurber as far as I can tell.

Have a nice life, I am gone for good.
I hate this forum.

I guess AH_Hollywood was right re the HL pager hack after all.  I've opened my last HL pager message.

According to the thread, Jiri (the guy who made H/L)  plugged the holes I dont have 100% confirmation yet however
