BTW, all my screenshots from test are gone from all Disney files on all my computers. I expect the same thing to happen when they close the launcher for open as well.
*3 Lets not forget Pixie Hollow.Two games closed. Wow...
I just checked my screenshots, and they are still there...
Oh well, knew it was going to end sooner or later. Does anyone think it had anything to do with the hackers of Corey and Ian? Or was this going to happen none the less.
...Clearly, fighting hacking is an issue and that issue was larger in potco than club penguin. However, even if a security patch was installed last year that prevented all hacking I fear the results would have been the same.
I bet they were unhappy when POTCO/ToonTown closed.QUESTION: Has anyone here ever met a conflicted or "unhappy" POTCO hacker? ~ Nope, I haven't either and I doubt that in-game patches would magically convince all hackers to play a clean POTCO life!
And I would bet also that they have been in the market, if you will, for another "home."I bet they were unhappy when POTCO/ToonTown closed.
The results would have been the same because unless some effort (like Revive POTCO) would have possibly convinced Disney/DIMG decision-makers to invest further money into the game, the hacking problem on POTCO may have possibly been solved but it would have been solved only "temporary." This is due because of the extent of players' interest to seek out ways to hack into POTCO's coding beyond the trends of the moment.
To make matters worse, hackers (incorrectly) justified their actions on POTCO by proclaiming that by practicing their skills...they were doing Disney and all of us a "favor" by exposing the loopholes. However, I HIGHLY doubt that if the game was significantly patched, that many POTCO hackers would have simply gone quietly in the night, and played the game like the rest of us. ***I stand by this claim because once someone develops a skill to where they begin to understand for themselves the pure enjoyment that results from such skill, the tendency of the heart is to continue to press forward doing the same basic thing because the personal willpower that may have been there to avoid the advancing of such skill is oftentimes eroded. Throw a person's own pride into the mix and you have the recipe towards predictability.

...I think that 'doing Disney and all of us a "favour" ' is a strange way to describe, for example, booting people off the game when they are about to dock a ship full of cargo, or using quick fire fury to sink everything it sight in SVS. I'm afraid, to me, this sort of activity was just selfish and malicious. I can understand why some people may want to do this sort of thing but in my view it is for characterological reasons, to deal with personal insecurities or a sense of real life impotence or whatever, but understanding is not the same as accepting or forgiving.
I agree with this because anythig worth gaining is worth gaining "right."
For example, during a cause as fun and as important as the in-game, Revive POTCO "events" (which were organized to bring the community of players together for a rightful cause), not one positive thing had changed or altered POTCO's fate by those whom felt compelled to hack in-game on behalf of POTCO to gain Disney's attention better. NOT ONE!
In that respect, the same truth can be said about those of us whom choose not to hack during such times but here lies the difference; the purpose of such events were not to seek out something as feeble as Disney's own attention but rather the opportunity to bring the POTCO community together in a way which could draw support towards furthering Disney's attention directed at POTCO. This is not beyond anyone's capability to understand, I wouldn't think.
To be clear, in-game POTCO events (such as 'Revive POTCO' events) sought out to create change for the better of the community and in Revive POTCO's case, to direct it's efforts towards important decision-makers unfamiliar with POTCO on a daily basis. ~ It don't get any more cut and dry than that, me hearties!
