    I'm not sure if its just neofriends - though ive seen it in other forums, hackers (you) are generally nice and caring people. I kinda pictured hackers to be like the bitter twisted people which got their rocks off taking money from people who earned it.
    Ive seen people give back pets from the auto adopter, help out noobs -on neopets too- and just give general legit RS tips from out own experience.
    So thus, in summary hackers are not nerds which sit at their computer waiting to destroy lives. :yup:

    You guys are allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllrigggggggggggght :)

    What i got out of this is that hackers are nice nerds sitting at their computers waiting to destroy lives?

    Sorry, but stealing someone's account is a pretty shitty thing to do in my book.

    1) i think there belongs in the spam section....

    2) Programers and hackers are completely different.. there are not many ppl I would call hackers on this site

    scammers, as in tricking people into giving login information and stealing stuff

    there is a difference between cheating and scamming.

    This is one of the stupidest posts I have ever read.

    Also, IMO, scamming is a type of cheating, not really it's on category.

    What's up with the insults?

    I think this is a nice post, even if it probably belongs in the spam section (Mod, move please?).
    It's nice when people honour the programmers of this community and let them know that they are valuable. Better than them just getting the "Hey your program doesn't work right now, fix it!".

    It's also something I've been thinking alot of lately.
    The term "hacker" used to represent something negative. These days it's a much more positive, people who hack their gadgets and programs in order to benefit the most from the hardware or software. It's funny how things like these change so fast. :)

    Wow, haha okay. I just wanted to say that you guys were nicer than i expected..
    Sorry that i called you guys the wrong term, it was stupid of me. My mistake.
    I apologise.. But I just wanted too say you guys were pretty cool

    Yea, in hindsight I shoulda put this in the spam section.

    Haha, a bit ironic, this thread. Although it was to comment on how nice we were, it brought out some rather dark comments.
    As for the difference between cheating and hacking, is it because people think that cheating is a victimless crime?
    And hacking directly affects somebody? Because if that was the case, cheating does also indirectly affect people.
    Not that I have anything against it

    Yea, were cheaters. I see the difference, though people sure get defensive over it.
    It's like ive just offended their religion or something. Well irony sure got me this time
