remember the time, long way back when you guys tricked me into thinking you had hacked into my program files by giving me the link "c:/program files"? i started to panic and thought that everyone would start deleting my stuff i was so nieve back then... lol And remember my spelling? it was so bad you guys had a hard time figuring out what i was trying to say ah, the good old days

hahaa...
was kinda fun to play on the more naive members
i think somethin' quite amusing was making a simple popup in C++ or VB that says something like "Program is now Deleting your Work!" and lists all the documents on the HDD with the work *Deleted* next to it, and then email it to like the whole College Class with the name "Win95Upd.exe"

Man fun to do things that required no programming skill at all

ya, that was great I thought... "What a noob", and now look at you

Raven Vegeta- Ya, there was this guy that I didn't exactly like, and he asked me for some game, I forget what. Anyway, I wen't home, opened up VB and created a fake install program, that pretended to install some fake files. About half-way through the "installation", it would return an error and close. Really though, it was copying another program onto a hidden location on the HD, and putting itself into the start-up files. Then, it would randomly pop up messages, then after a few days, it would disable itself. It was really funny, but what made it even better was the whole process was outlined in the "Eula" that appeared before the "installation". If he'da taken the time to read it...

oh ya, and because it was a delayed reaction type thing, the guy never made the connection between the installer and the messages
