Cheaters, Cheaters, Poo Poo Eaters 2

You might have noticed the "2" on the title of the news post. If you have been here long you might have already realized that this is the 2nd time that I've posted about cheaters in the Generals. The 1st time was about an exploit, and this time it's about somewhat of a solution. Popelina.com is a site that attempting to establish a "black list" of cheaters. It's unclear exactly how far this is going to go, but we will see. They ask that you send an email to milky@popelina.com with the following details:

- your nickname for C&C Generals online
- nick of the cheater
- date and a kind of the game (quickmatch, 2vs2, etc.)

Who knows if this emailing of cheaters will work. We'll have to wait and see.


In unrelated news: The new CNC Generals Website and Forums have launched. Click Here to head to the homepage. I personally don't like it as much as before, but thats ok.

And now the part when I tell the community what I think about the latest outbreak of viruses, worms, and trojans:

STOP ADDING ME TO YOUR ADDRESS BOOKS!

Actually, there's a very practical reason behind this. Anyone who uses outlook and keeps an address book has about 100% chance of spreading a virus to everyone in their address book should they open an "email virus". So, if you use outlook: please remove me or even any of your friends from your address book *out of respect*. This doesn't mean that I don't want your email. It means that I don't want anymore viruses like I have been getting 150+ times a day. Today alone I have been killing 10 to 15 per hour.

*Run a firewall, auto-protect with an anti-virus, don't open attachments, and play Generals*
