Banned for making even the thought of changing into The Hulk cross my mind... Damnit! :angry: ~D. V. "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..." Devnull

Got armrests on that chair you're in? :-) ... I think you only have to worry if you don't. ;-) ~D. V. "Chair /w Armrest = Better" Devnull

Banned for thinking I even need (let alone wear) glasses! :x BTW, that image is so blurry that someone could think it was one of the guys from that "Top Gear" show! <_< ~D. V. "Oi!" Devnull

Banned for not making sure the image in your siggy was of higher quality than that. Like, you almost can't determine whether that's Doctor #10 or not! :ugeek: ~D. V. "Too Blurry!" Devnull (p.s.: Cybermen do not look cool.)

Nice product placement, Roving_fish! At first, I thought it was something totally else. :lol: ~D. V. "That was hilarious, but awesome!" Devnull

Banned for suggesting we should chop our brains out of our heads. :angry: And since you asked for it... <*Whips out an EMP Cannon and blasts Armorare extremely far off and away with it...*> Enjoy the trip, see you next fall as you collapse as a heap of scrap metal! :twisted: ~Mr. D. V. "DO NOT LIKE CYBERMEN!" Devnull

Ooookay... Do you have any accepted Security Certificates from Jagex in your Java Control Panel? If you don't know where to look, that will be in "Security (tab) > Certificates (button) > Trusted Certificates (Cert. Type) > User (tab)"... If you have any accepted certificates, they'll have "Jagex Ltd" on their 'Issued to' name. :geek: BTW, if you do have any accepted certificates, that should rule out this line of thinking. :thumbup: ~D. V. "Time to rule problems with this out..." Devnull ======================================== EDIT: Scratch the above line of thinking, unless you want to check it anyway. I'm now feeling like I misread something before. This kind of I/O error means you're already able to load the game applet, and it can't maintain the connection to the server. :wall: L2Pullout, could you traceroute to some of the world servers and post back with the results of those? I get the feeling now that the ping is running too high on the round-trip. Also, if you have some way (such as "netstat -a") to, keep an eye on exactly where it is connecting while it updates, and please then post back the results of tracing that. :huh: ~Mr. D. V. "Where the hell was MY head at?" Devnull

Banned for thinking I was trying for comedy with my hand-signings. I'm usually just putting my 'tl;dr versions' (or my emotions) to go with what I've posted. :wink: ~D. V. "You KNOW when someone misinterprets......." Devnull

Banned for not realizing the several previous quits/vacations I took from RuneScape. :shame: I'll admit, I was a bit of an optimist back then. (Sadly, a bit of a hitting puppy too.) But it seems the 5th quit was my last straw, as I feel relieved to not be trying to be crazy about that dumb game anymore. :ugeek: ~D. V. "Go fig..." Devnull

That could be argued. People with some of the worst underlying problems tend to forget to capitalize sentence starts. :P ~D. V. "I've seen it before... Or I'm just teasing you badly." Devnull

Banned because I'm posting around 4 hours, 17 minutes after you. :P ~D. V. "Time's a [bleep], ya know?" Devnull

(Image changed to URL during quote... click the link to view directly.) Running a bit tighter settings here, only 2 (most recent) security certs from Jagex. I could only figure that L2Pullout has accidentally perma-denied certs from Jagex at this point, as that sounds like what's causing the problem here. :geek: ~D. V. "I'm thinking this one's deep under the hood." Devnull

Banned because you sure-as-hell got intercepted. :XD: ~D. V. "Pwnt." Devnull

Lekti, here's a good caption for your image... "I will take your soul back with me to the underworld!" As for the image itself, you might add an effect that makes it look like someone is looking at this undead being as it causes massive visual distortion to the world as viewed by that someone's eyes. :geek: ~Mr. D. V. "That's my mental $0.50 of thoughts..." Devnull (p.s.: Post 4444! Never thought I'd get to stop, feel the breeze, and note this!)

Banned for going Time-Traveling on-board the T.A.R.D.I.S., when you're supposed to be doing detective work for the police in San Francisco. :-w ~D. V. "If you know the reference combo I've just done, you'll facepalm." Devnull

Unless you wipe out your Java Certificate revocation and cache files and set Java to provide you with a prompt for Signed Code. Unluckily, I don't know all the ins/outs to that one, and only picked up on it in passing on the RSOF. Good luck trying that route, unless you don't have the permissions to go that way for some reason. :geek: ~D. V. "No idea what situation you're in?" Devnull

Banned for not making sense, Nexaduro. :shame: @ BlazeTheMovieFan -- I bet I'm why you couldn't resist coming back, huh? :P @ star_in_the_sky -- You want backflips? <*backflips over to star_in_the_sky and hugs her gently*> There ya go. :D ~D. V. "I never thought I would get this active in a forum game ever again........." Devnull

I'll answer this... Yes, Jagex is no-longer providing an unsigned version of the RuneScape Java Applet, ever since the ClusterFlutterer update. On the bright side, most of the bots got nuked out of existence/functionality. Unluckily, most of the latest problems have been since the Dominion Tower and latest update releases. I'm really not surprised that you're having issues, as it seems like Jagex doesn't check their code sanity completely. :geek: ~D. V. "Good luck fixing that one..." Devnull

Banned for being too verbose. :P ~D. V. "I've been that..." Devnull

Banned for letting her even have a chance to drag you off in that direction. Relationships are meant to be more than just lust-based. :ugeek: ~Mr. D. V. "Better a meaningful relationship, than just a chemical-based attraction..." Devnull

Banned for being overloaded with rage. :twss: ~D. V. "Rage overloads = Bad for you." Devnull

[mega-joke]You do realize that at some point they will decide to pull some of us males in to be chosen as their mates, right? We'll get locked away in closets somewhere and things will happen. :twss: [/mega-joke] On a more serious note, Congratulations, Kimberly and Quyneax! I hope we'll get to see you come sneaking around Forum Games? :D ~D. V. "Congratulations! Yes, the running gags still perk my mind!" Devnull

Banned for not stopping by my profile yet, and therefore failing to suggest a new Real-Time Browser-Based MMORPG for me to go play. :boohoo: (I post this sort of as a joke, because I only just posted my current status -- that is, as of the time of this post. Unluckily for me, my resolve to never touch RuneScape-aka-IdiotScape again is starting to weaken because I haven't found another Real-Time Browser-Based MMORPG to go drop off into. :( ...) ~Mr. D. V. "Feeling a bit stuck, folks..." Devnull

Thanks, is this all you need? Yes, MonkeyChee, this was all I needed to see, and I've just now taken a solid look over the source info. (BTW, sorry for the late reply! I had some major IRL issues hit during this last weekend.) It looks to me like the message is legit, which likely means that someone has made a failing attempt to hack your account out from under you. You can consider yourself safe for the most part, but I would suggest that you check with a few extra antivirus/antimalware scanners to make sure nothing got on your system. :geek: ~Mr. D. V. "It looks good to me... Finish double-checking your computer anyway." Devnull [Multiple Edits by replying author due to the forum filter damaging their quote of MonkeyChee... If a Forum Mod could repair the damage, it would be appreciated, thanks!]

I don't see why not. With some people they can be almost as addictive with similar repercussions to health and family. Heh... and look at South Korea. People get jobs over there because of their StarCraft addictions. :o ~D. V. "File me as 'totally shocked'..." Devnull
