ok ppl this is bad!
on planet mofo, a hacker has hacked the map so it looks like hell . he/she goes by the name of "SATAN" (if you don't know what satan is it is the devil ->
) and has not only hacked the map, but also hacked the banning system on mofo. he/she has also hacked what people say and seems to have an obsession of reproduction. we are telling satan to go away and he says the for the whole day it will be on.
what can you do admins?

Oh my gosh, this is horrible! I was just there, and the hacker SATAN dude was terrible! Planet MoFo is doomed!
I don't believe the admins can do anything.

Im there now - Is this a real hacker? Coz wouldn't he have been dealt with by now?
Anyway - suckz if this is a real hacker but if it isn't the map looks pretty sweet!
EDIT: Ok, I think this is a real hacker - but I still think the map looks cool!

BZBB is not the place to discuss administrative issues regarding specific players/people. Furthermore, this issue at present only affects one server.
We're working on it, don't worry.
Optimism is just a milder alternative to denial.

Seems that way - The hacker seems to have put a bit of time into actually putting forward this joke too, it's not some simple "Multiflager".

just played there for over an hour, other than the map being set that way - as confirmed by Darth, nothing was unusual

Yes, the forces of evil surely are penetrating the atmospheres of Planet MoFo.
All we can do at this time is ask that you pray that the Lord will touch our hearts, teh evil SATAN's heart, and the hearts of all those who come across our beloved Planet MoFo on this dark and dreary day.

seriously this is not the place to discuss your piss-poor management and security skills.
I am so glad I didn't take over that sever, it must be a mess.
I'm ashamed of you all.

It was a real screenshot. I've played there and I like the changes except for the fire background which was annoying.

same here, I liked the map changes but the flaming walls were annoying when I actually used the main window to line up my sight with another player across the field (radar 90% of the time is the only way to play)
If possible, a client side over-ride or someway to disable the flaming walls or background would help, but more than likely will not be added to the code because there really isn't a high demand (yet?) for something like that.

yeah I agree, the fire was pretty annoying.
I think I know why the hacker did this! It is because, the day when that happened, it was April the 1st. It was an April fools!
(can't beleive i didn't figure that out sooner

It was great. We might have to break that map back out come Halloween.

A restart can generally be done really quick.
