Not, really, but the Admin can issue a simple command to the DB to remove it :P.
It had better be removed, Serge.
 
I mean, I was happy being champion at Pac-Man, but nooo....
 
At least I'm still safe in the knowledge that I don't need to hack the game to be champion of at least one Arcade game.

What, you're gonna cry now? It's just an arcade on a web forum :P.
Plus I didn't really do this to get high scores - I needed some practice in doing web scraping and making false HTTP requests :P.

No, I'm just going to be FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-ing the rest of the week.
 
I mean, the reason why I know you hacked it was because for starters, getting a score of 103,371,337 points is impossible.
The maximum score you can get in a standard game of Pac-Man you can get is 3,333,360 points, which only comes from getting every dot, ghost and fruit in each stage without dying, and getting the highest possible score from the split-screen level at Round 255.
And anyway, you can't get a score that ends in the number "7" anyway, because everything you can get scores for is in 10s.
 
So yeah, thanks for ruining the purpose of the Arcade. I hope you're happy.

Personally I don't mind what he did. I was over-defensive of my high scores, now I don't need to worry for now they can't be beaten to take back the metaphorical throne.

Personally, I think he's wrecked the whole point of the Arcade. I mean, what good is it if I can't beat high scores?
 
Let's hope that that cheat's scores are erased, soon. And if I was an administrator, I'd ban him from the Arcade permanently if he did it again.

Correct!

It's 13371337, not 10371337


The maximum score you can get in a standard game of Pac-Man you can get is 3,333,360 points, which only comes from getting every dot, ghost and fruit in each stage without dying, and getting the highest possible score from the split-screen level at Round 255.

Wow, you must have a lot of time on your hands to make such an analysis :P. Of course I tampered with it.

So yeah, thanks for ruining the purpose of the Arcade. I hope you're happy.
I'm happy, I made you more productive for a day or two :P.
(protip: one simple SQL query to the database can remove all my results)

Let's hope that that cheat's scores are erased, soon.
I'm surprised they still haven't.

And if I was an administrator, I'd ban him from the Arcade permanently if he did it again.
Meh, I don't care.

The joke's on you because if you get any legit high scores in the future, everyone will think you cheated.  :p

I'll let color boxes go on forever, because the longer it takes, the better your score.
You know, the point of that game is to get the smallest score possible, so the one at the bottom is the true champion not the one at the top.

If you have that much time on your hands why don't you make us a bot exchange????????
 
Doesn't look like anybody else can, or will!
 
 
I know you are rich, and don't need money, but if you will make an exchange I can host on GTM, I will pay, or get something you may want.

Corrected. ACAMS, money wont work with Serge. He likes making people feel bad.

All post have been reset to 8 hours ago (AGAIN) and all scores deleted.......(not my 100% fault...somebody hacked the scores...not gonna mention any names, but their initials are S.E.R.G.E.)
 
If the scores are hacked again the perpetrator will receive a nice custom title and be banned from the arcade.
