Quite a few years ago, Lensman was away and left the board to the admins (I forget who). In that time, someone came to the forum complaining about a forum that stole and shared content. The thread here encouraged people to register there and bitch and complain. That went no where. So, quite cleverly, the admin here created an username with the name of that forum ... something like RP-Productions.com. Then he started creating threads taunting everyone telling them he could do what he wanted with anyone's content, that no one could stop him, that his servers were bulletproof and so on. Predictably, within minutes, his server was hacked and owned and his forums db deleted.

They almost pulled it off flawlessly, except that the admin here accidentally posted as the wrong username and outed himself before he could delete his post.

That said, it was obviously quite effective and the results were immediate.
