Ok, so this is something maybe I just don't understand, but I've been a member since March 2010 and I suddenly noticed (since the new layout update) girls that have REAL images for their pics instead of snap-shots of their avatar....how is this done?
-
i was wondering about that too, and i think billy was going to give us a step-by-step how to do that but he hasn't yet...
-
Speaking of which I saw a avatar with a different outfit on. Nothing you can buy here. I though I was seeing things. So I'm really curious on how thats done.
-
OK, I thought I was going crazy, cause I saw those outfits as well, went to the shop, couldn't find them and when I went back to the profiles to look for them again, I couldn't find them there either.
-
hmmm...i haven't noticed any funny clothing. but i did hear something about a hack that some people are using. maybe that's it?
-
I also saw new clothes and real bodies. I'm sure you can edit the pics if you ause a hack or are a good hacker. Or is the A-Team testing something?
-
I thought you weren't suppose to hack or you'd get thrown out. Or am I imagining reading something like that? :-\
-
I'm sure you are not allowed to. But sometimes it may happen, people are doing what they are not allowed to ;)
-
i don't recall reading anything here specifically about getting thrown out for hacking. i'm sure the guys wouldn't like it, but if you just want to mess with your little avatar pic or give yourself some different accessories, why not? i know they do it at IMVU to get better sex stuff in there and i'm sure they do it at other sites too.
-
Thats why I asked. I thought I read something about not changing certain things when I had downloaded this. Just want to cross my Ts and dot my Is before I try. ;)
-
You probably did read it sinnnn....a lot of software has an End User License Agreement (EULA) and there is usually a clause that states "I will not decompile, dismantle, or otherwise tamper with this program" or some such wording. If the people are using a hack, they are in DIRECT violation of the TOS and EULA
-
Thanks Appollo. I new I wasn't nuts ;)
-
yes you are...but where would you have read it...in the teeny tiny print when you downloaded this program? i don't recall that... ::)
-
I read babes. You do have the option to read their legal stuff before you hit "I Agree". :P You just love being the devils advocate don't you Bobcat? :P
;D
-
well, i can honestly say that i like Bobcat better than Bobby ;D
and who the hell reads all that tiny print besides you ::)
-
Bobcats are cut little things. They scratch, bite, and fuss at everything. Can be dangerouse and really playful. Best part is when you tame them they look so damn cute with a diamond collar. Can't decide if I love them wild/free or so so with a collar. ;) LOL
-
Ummm should I be giving advice on wearing the paw boots and gloves? ;D
-
Go right ahead, teach him for me. He might not know where everything goes. ;)
-
Sinnnn isn't the only one to read/know about that "legal" stuff...I am an Information Systems major (it's a fancy type of computer degree) and although I am specializing in computer networks, I was required to do some programming. I also minored in data security and we talked at length about EULA and TOS and the dreaded AUP (acceptable use policy; the contract you sign at work that would get you fired for surfing this board).
Having a background in computers, programming, and computer related laws/ethics, I know first hand that one of the FIRST clauses written is about "decompiling" (the process that turns a program into computer language) and how most say not to.
Now, all that said, have we actually figured out how it's being done yet? If it's not a hack and it's legit, I would not mind knowing how to do it to add a real pic to my profile.
-
Do you really want to add a real picture? Another question, would you upload a picture of your own? That's my only question. I am not interested, if this is allowed to (this is not my problem), I am interested who wants to show the own picture.
Another point I could imagine, some members add a pic that doesn't show them, but another real person. But then you have to be very careful, as there may be copyrights to this pic. That means, even if it's allowed on AChat, it can be forbidden.
-
Lover makes a good point, real pics are a can of worms.
-
I'm not planning on real pics. If I wanted that I wouldn't be here. But it would be cool to add anime pics or something like that. Just do something unique since its getting really boring with the limited outfits we have.
Copyrights, can be a major pain sometimes. :-\
-
Still... there are so many places out there where you can have fan made icons from various tv/movie/anime/etc, etc... I would imagine it could be the same here.
EXCEPT for the fact it's adult use? Where what was letting fans use the images to share their fandom is now connecting their intellectual property with an adult use server?
-
Of course there are many free pics to use. But I'm sure, some members will appear as e.g. Megan Fox, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Denise Richards, Eva Longoria... you know what I mean. The easiest way to do this is to take a pic from the internet, copy and paste. And then you offend the copyright. I know that some forum operator have been warned.
-
Ok, so to put this issue to bed (and to let Tom and Rab figure out any possible security breeches), I have found the hack tool that allows this to be done and I am putting a lick to it here as well (more for Tom and Rab to investigate, if they choose to do so/have the time).

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE BY ANYONE!

Wow you go boy. You are like Dick Tracey for computers Apollo. ;D
-
Good job apollo. Did you also send this to the A-Team directly (Support-button in the upper line)? I think you should do this.
