It’s a shame there have been a large influx of people on Steam trying to phish out other peoples accounts.  I have since come across a few that have entered our group and I will ban or kick each from the group accordingly.

Tips : Don’t click on anything from anyone you don’t know.  This is the surest way to be safe.

I know these are just made to look like legit steam community logon pages and they don’t really do any kind of malware injections but that’s the best way to keep anything from happening.

I recently got a message from “Rain” of our steam group… (Click here for his community page)

Rain: http://steamcommunity_com_viewprofile45123658969.9hz.com/ LOL?!?!
TXLANS.com | amp: LOL

I have already reported him to the web host and he has been promptly removed from their hosting.  I have also reported him to Valve and Steam accordingly.

If you get a phishing message from anyone in the group, please report them to me via Steam, IRC (#txlans @ gamesurge), or email if you know it.  Of course, flood their database or email with as many fake logins as you can.  This makes it more fun.

Demonoid

I know how much everyone loves demonoid, and I know you won’t be able to get in unless you have an invite code!

It’s okay…we have some.

Leave a comment and use your email with the comment (you dont have to post it in the comment, for anti-spam purposes).

I’ll send out what I can.  :)

Google Wave

Hey again guys,

Besides coming out with new content soon to boost our traffic once again, I also have some google wave invites.  25 of them to be exact.

Go ahead and leave a comment with your email, or email me directly (amp AT TXLANS ^dot com).

Tonight while I’m at work I will be working on a linux tutorial on setting up apache.  Something simple to start out with for the newbies.

On a side note, I’m getting the forums running again.  I got rid of PHPBB3; sure it works good but PunBB is a lot faster and I have used it in more places.  It’s WAY more modifiable.

Also, I have more demonoid invites.  Post a comment and be sure to put your correct email in and let me know that you want one.  I will give a few out.

Most of us have experience with this.  You want to show someone a picture but have no where to upload it.

You will stumble upon (most likely) one of the most popular; Imageshack.

There are others, just have to know where to look.  Best one for me that I have used is “CompyMcPuter”.
