PWNED: Kid tries to pass off CLS 55 AMG as his own, gets caught

[xtucking22s]

kid gets owned on my local forum, absolutly hilarious read:
http://www.mdstreetscene.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=15536

It even made it onto AutoBlog http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/p...n-gets-caught/

CLiff notes of the situation(stolen from Autoblog)
Some people are just pathological. At first, it was amusing that Fresh C280, a member of the MDStreetScene forums, would claim to own a Mercedes CLS55 AMG. How a 19-year-old affords a car that normally retails for around $100,000 is the first thing that made everyone on the forum suspicious. A story about a digital camera becoming a sewage buoy was also an immediate head scratcher, since the pic he posted supposedly came from said camera. Further cementing the obvious dementia was the claim that the picture was taken during a dyno run in New York. It could be New York, except right now it's chilly early spring in the Empire State, and the dyno run picture clearly shows garage bays with the doors flung open and leaves on trees. It gets better as it becomes clear how many balls this kid's trying to juggle to hold up his story. There's a nice little synopsis that debunks the girlfriend angle – even though it's supposedly her car.

It didn't take long for total pwnage to occur when Fresh C280s fellow Maryland car enthusiasts did a little detective work. The car is actually owned by a CarDomain member named Xavier, who hails from Florida and showed up with proof of ownership around 30 pages in. All of the pictures posted to the MDStreetScene bulletin board were stolen from the actual owner's CarDomain page. This is weirder than the guy who thought up direct exhaust injection. The makings of a character study are all there – apparent delusional schizophrenia, a longing to be somebody, a sad little existence, and completely self-inflicted massive public humiliation. There's even a cameo by a famous lolcat. It doesn't get better than this, folks, the thread is only a day old so far. Check it out for yourself, it gets good around page 6. Oh, and Fresh C280's quote at the bottom of his posts is oddly prescient. Thanks for the tip, Terry!

[xtucking22s]

Sorry, our server was never meant to handle the traffic the site has been seeing. er usually have 25 people on the forum at one time, but we have been experiencing 350+ lol. so our server crashes constantly the past couple days, just needs to be restarted manually which i have now done, should be up in a few

[Slow_S10]

I can't get the link to the thread open...

... But direct ehxaust injection

[xtucking22s]

ok the server is probably about to catch on fire, it immediatly jammed up upon the last restart from everyone trying to get on. this has been posted all over the internet so hundreds of people are trying to read the actual thread. Ill let you guys know when its up again, sorry

[blazerman]

doesn't mean he has to have one, we're supposed to have them here and i never had one on my X. i know lots of vette and T/A owners don't use the front either.

[blazerman]

ok,i didnt know how they are in ny,i know in va. they require you to run the front plate no matter what

[xtucking22s]

Forum Is Working Right Now!

[blazerman]

[The Master]

ya...got a server you wanna host the site on for the cost of...oh lets say....free?

sorry guys, just read the autoblog thing, i basically need to reset the server every 15 minutes. so its being very unreliable. but at least i posted the autoblog thing anyways

[xJuice]

i've lost all interest in this story.

oh well, it's getting harder and harder to impress me on the internet anymore.

[BudRacing]

It's working!

[The Master]

Let me look at the server here.

I can see how much room we have. I would only ask for linkage to the etm sites.



BTW if you dont have a google account get one NOW. Get adsense on the site and earn off this cash cow. This is great way to earn some bux fast.

[blazerman]

[projo198]

Eh, I should have went straight to page 6.

Sounds like good stuff though, I'll come back to it in a few days once it slows down.

[BudRacing]

... just kidding. I'm gettin lucky like one page at a time.

Honestly i have no clue how to run that operational side of things. Im second in command over there, and the owner of the site runs that shit. Im just a super mod and deal with the general day to day moderating. But i know we do do the Google adsense thing


sorry everyone, at least ya got something to read: the autoblog thing

[The Master]

ahh well. I am talking to boom and I am sure that this server could handle it.

I would only ask that while we host it on here that you link to this site, the football site, lunarbattle and the nascar site

It would require the dns to be pointed to our info. Just unsure how longDNS would take to get it sorted. You could copy the site over to this server, put a temp redirect up until dns is sorted.

But the owner of the site would need to do this.

[xtucking22s]

allright, ive been texting the owner this morning tell him ive been needing to reset it every 10/15 minutes. just waiting for his ass to respond to me then ill get him in contact with you. im sure we could post your links, you will get tons of traffic lol. this has spread all over the internet SO FAST

[sdime98]

interesting...but i'd definately like to read the thread itself...subscribes until then

[xtucking22s]

working at this moment in time go click the link! hurry before it freezes again lol. page 30, around 11:15 a post made last night is where the true owner of the car signs up on our forum and posts proof that the car is his, showing hard evidence that the guy with lying

[BudRacing]

dead again

[blazerman]

your server sux,tell the owner to spend some damn money on a good one

[xtucking22s]

its hard to spend money when you dont have it. The only money we have to run the site is from donations basically. sorry guys.

Lunatic might host it on s10forum sometime soon temporarily for me. Im waiting to get intouch with the owner of Marylandstreetscene

[bza]

saw this on autoblog this morning couldnt stop laughing. haha to many people lie about stupid shit.

waiting for the site to go back up so i can get a read on it.l

[xtucking22s]

i give up with restarting the server every 10 minutes, i need to get back to work at my real job before i get in trouble lol. ill update you later if we get a new temporary server or whatever.

[HoyaXC07]

Another epic thread strikes again. I can't read the the thread though, I'll be patient and wait it out. Do they have his name yet and where he lives? Pretty soon the internet will be knocking at his door. This just like what happened to that guy with the nsx who turned out to be a sex offender.

[jayunsplanet]

Hey guys, I'm working on it.
The VPS was working last night with 170+ people on.... But during the day ---- not so much.
PM'd Lunatic as well.

[raider600]

Damn! This Looks Good!

You can get a decent domain for $15-25 a month. You don't need to make thousands of dollars a week to afford that.

www.hostrocket.com

I've been using them for over a year on my forum, I have no problems with them. Plenty of storage space and bandwidth for a great price.

Like i said before, i dont handle the technical workings of the site, I just see to the day to day operations, I moderate the site, and i know how to reset the server when the site freezes. Jayunsplanet who posted above runs the show over there.

[The Master]

There is more to it than just that 96 Dime.

I server that is hosted by someone else has limitations put in. They are getting hammered. This is not normal traffic that they are getting at all. I had a similar thing happen to me on FordForums.com when I owned it. I released embargoed pictures of a new holden and we got hit hard. To the tune of 10 times our normal traffic. I had my own server in place and designed it to handle 3 - 4 times the load it normal got, when it got 10 times we were having major problems just like they are.

That was a quad xeon with 8gb of ram. It was top of the line for the time. Still came down.

an increase in traffic can cause more problems than you think. It is not just flip on a site and let it roll.

[xtucking22s]

^ thanks Lunatic. exactly the case. Last night(when this shit blew up) we had 20x the amount of normal traffic. and it ran allrigth last night. but this morning once word got out to hundreds of forums our server just couldnt take it, and my restarting it over and over again was a bandaid for temporary relief, but anyways ya exactly what Lunatic said.

[LiquidFusion]

No funciona.

[nox]

damn, Cory told me about this thread at lunch today and now the site is down. He gave me some funny cliff notes though.

[xtucking22s]

It'll be back up eventually, just a matter of time

[The Master]

it is being moved to another server. DNS has to propagate.

and a fw other things.

[jayunsplanet]

I spent a lot of time this morning just trying to export the database in preparation to move to a new server... But with all the hits, that was becoming difficult. I finally got the whole database. I've been working on getting it imported and the site moved to 2 different local servers here. Finally, a web host that I've been talking with for a few weeks, is making it happen. Actually doing most of the work and talking with me in real time. It's amazing. Let's hope it works out well and well can continue the festivities.
