    Hi everyone!

    Halloween is here - and so are OTF Halloween features!

    • Chattops - As in previous years, Halloween chattops are in Ten Forward, the CCC and Minas Tirith.

    • Special Ranks - You can choose your own special rank if you log in via Ten Forward, the CCC or Minas Tirith.

    • Smileys - Halloween smileys are in addition to, not instead of, the regular smileys! We recognise that people like being able to express themselves clearly, using the regular smileys - but also want to offer the Halloween Collection. The result is the addition of the temporary Halloween Collection of smileys! To get the special Halloween smiley, insert an H between the two smiley characters! Spelling it out:

      • :HO
      • :H}
      • :H"
      • :HD
      • :HK
      • :H(
      • :H)
      • :H?
      • :HP
      • ;H)

    All comments, as usual, very welcome - please feel free to send my way!

    Cheers, and enjoy!

    As Halloween is soon approaching it is tradition for people to share stories intended to scare the hell out of each other. So:

    If you know any stories which you believe will make even the bravest otf'er tremble (btw that would be me), then be sure to email them to me so we can put them up online for everyone to read on Halloween.

    They can be stories of your own creation or ones which you have heard from elsewhere, it doesn't matter!

    Google has now confirmed that thousands of Gmail accounts were compromised by an “industry-wide phishing scheme.”
    According to the BBC, the login data of over 30,000 Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Comcast, and Earthlink accounts have been posted online.

    Greetings!
    And another security risk to be reported!
    Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari aren't secure anymore while using PayPal.
    Hackers managed to create a SSL Certificate that makes your browser think it's on the PayPal site but in reality it's on the hackers site to steal your account logins.
    So far only Firefox is safe.
    I strongly advise you to read this.

    Login credentials for more than 10,000 Microsoft Live accounts have been posted to the internet, most likely by miscreants who found them or harvested them in a phishing attack.
    Posts in several forums even claimed that all accounts have been hacked, but that is very unlikely.
    We advise you to change your password anyway, just to make sure.
    Changing your password every few weeks makes sure it's less likely to be hacked.
    Also make sure your anti virus scanner is up to date, so that keylogger have no chance.

    If you feel you have the skills which could be of use, I want you to get in touch with me and tell me you're interested and what skills you have.

    Please note though that I am looking for people with more than just HTML skills. You should at least have an excellent understanding of HTML and CSS.

    Dear Friends,

    I have noticed as of late a growing daily amount of armory reports hitting my inbox for fun armory usage. I have no problem with the armory being used for fun within reason however it is becoming too often and too silly. For example I have noticed a number of people routinely shooting thsmselves out of the room when they want to leave on a regular basis, rather than using the exit button. This is not acceptable armory use. There is no problem with the odd fun use but not over and over within the duration of an evening.

    I should hope that the number of reports hitting my inbox now decreases! If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me.

    Regards,

    Good morning, Angels!

    Trivia is looking for a few good men and women to be a part of our fine team. What we need are people that can help host/assist events and write questions (mainly Star Trek, Star Wars, and Fantasy, but may include other topics) for said events. Yes, this will take up time you could be watching Dancing With The Stars and requires some brain cells, but I'm sure you're willing to make that kind of sacrifice.

    Oh, and another huge factor that we are looking for is fun-loving people that can take jokes and dish them right back out. You don't want to end up like Trivia Droid, now do ya?!

    Please send your applications to my email. Include your handle, rank, skillz, and why you should be on our team.

    Thanks, and have a pleasant day! Oh, and watch out for those zombie hordes.
