"People get banned on Zybezz for posting keyloggers and botting stuff so your so called "history" is null and void."

I'm sure people can figure out the starred bit.

@Kiwi - that post is obviously meant to be taken lightly. It's a tribute to the ridiculous methods that people will go through to try and bot. It was brought up to make a few people laugh, not to encourage the use of botting. Since you seem to believe that is the logic behind Zybezz being filtered ingame, don't you think Youtube should be filtered as well since you can link to multiple other videos of people botting and/or breaking other RuneScape rules?

I believe that was more for discussion value and not to tape your mouse on the wall and actually do it. It clearly says on the bottom of the post that he thought it should be against the rules.

@muckduck The Runescape Toolkit that was downloadable directly from the Zybuz fansite (not the forums, the site itself) in the year of 2002 contained a keylogger. I found it myself, as did thousands of other players. It was discussed extensively on the forums, as well as on other fansites, and quickly became common knowledge at the time. How it got to be embedded in the program was never solved (or never told to the public). But it stayed like that for many months before finally being removed.
Whether this was done on purpose by a malicious staff member without the consent of the site owners, or an accidental infection by an unaware uploader, I do not know.
But it was there, and that is a fact to me, because I saw it with my own eyes. None of you "new" Zybuz staff members will be able to convince me that I am lieing, because you were not there.

Yeah go and ignore my challenge and questions, displays your lack of confidence in your terrible banter and flawed arguments. Your own eyes are not a valid source at all by the way, and someone who has been around for so long must know the old saying ''no pic no proof!''.
But, by following your superb logics, I can make the following statement. You have not been around our fansite/forums for the rest of the years. So, you were not there and are not able convince us that our site is trash!

all i saw there was:
"rabblerabblerabblerabble, something happened 10 years ago and we should still hold that personally against you, rabblerabblerabble."
perhaps you think sites such as tipit and rhq, which have been hacked and the p-words of their users compromised in the past, should be blacklisted and shunned for all eternity too? for all you and i know - it could have been staged by their owners to try and scam all their followers...! quick, someone pain a red cross on their homepages! these sites have been CONDEMNED...!
i'm here all day if you're up for talking sense any time soon.

Discussed so extensively that no record exists anywhere of your claims. Not even a smidgen.
Also, as the oldest staff user, I can say you're lying. The original versions of RSToolkit weren't hosted on Zybuz, they were on Lachy's own site because he wanted the traffic which was a minor point of contention. A few of the later version were (around '03-'04) but eventually Strider's software just overtook it and the project died.
Or perhaps just misguided. The website was hacked around that point (actually think it was mid-2003), roughly the same time as Tip.It was hacked. Dunno if you're confusing these two events.
