I don't understand.
Are they coming into the forum I don't understand is our info compromised?

Has someone copied all our emails?

Do you mean they are using your email address? Is that why you are asking your account to b e removed? I am confused. How does this affect us?

mariochase · 12-27-2009, 05:37 PM

Erm...Bev is not a dude. LOL

Justin Jordan · 12-27-2009, 07:22 PM

To be fair, I call everyone dude, regardless of gender so that may not be a mistake....

Zeus66 · 12-27-2009, 07:39 PM

Dudette is, I believe, the politically correct version for chicks.

mfleisch · 12-27-2009, 07:51 PM

Dudes and dudettes.. wondering what the real issue is here. I own a forum on my site and wondering if I should be on the lookout.

Funny - I'd always thought "chick" was the politically correct version for "dudettes", myself.

And chicks, I believe, is a politically incorrect term for people with two X chromosomes.

Looks like there's some good information about this here:
Random Digilante info along with a nice link to a site providing an anti-forum spam API that looks useful.

Chic was yiddish for friend as in boy chik

over the years it has morphed to be female in gender and the friend part is gone and now intimates a good looking woman

Can't even find references to the original anymore!

MarkAse · 12-28-2009, 10:23 AM

Just to be clear, after living in Southern California my entire life....dude definitely refers to a man, as does bro. Chick, chica etc is used for a girl/woman.

Ok, end of rant lol.

Lisa Gergets · 12-28-2009, 10:27 AM

I worked in a southwestern restaurant and was referred to as "the gringa"

Ok, I had to read that a couple of times, but yes - it looks like someone is trying to "help" people by showing them how vulnerable their forums are before they get smacked.
