DC 25,164 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 @StrawberryBlond Oh nononono you don’t have to worry! It wasn’t anything like that! I meant “Form” like a Google Form and you didn’t have to enter in any personal info, just your GGD username and questions regarding my music No one said anything about your info, I’m sure it was just someone trying to be funny or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't help that I've been paranoid that this exact thing is going to happen to me recently and now life's mirroring my worry. Obviously, if someone signed up through GGD, they would be under their GGD name, so our GGD accounts are obviously safe. I highly doubt they'd have our emails and passwords for our Google accounts to sign into the form to send it off. But that's why I need to know the specifics of what questions were in that form. Did this imposter enter random details or do they have our actual details? They would have just used your GGD username and their own Google account. Someone's probably just wanting a reaction from you.

Regina George 59,387 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 @StrawberryBlond I’m sorry this happened to you and I’ve been pretty paranoid lately so I understand you completely. Don’t worry about it tho I’m sure it’s just someone joking and trying to be funny. They probably only put your username in because they wanted reaction from you or something. Don’t worry about it.

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 @StrawberryBlond take it as a good thing that your name was the one chosen for this prank. It proves you're an iconic member of GGD. It wasn't me btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant “Form” like a Google Form and you didn’t have to enter in any personal info, just your GGD username and questions regarding my music No one said anything about your info, I’m sure it was just someone trying to be funny or something Yeah, that's what I meant to. I notice that you kept on saying things like "fill in the forum" and I thought "they must mean 'form' but are mixing it with 'forum' because they're on a forum right now" but I couldn't be sure. So I'm asking, did this person sign up using that Google Form for both of us? That's all. But if you just had to enter your GGD name and answer questions about your music, that's fine. I assume you would only ask for the skype account name of the winner once they had been decided right? Speaking of which, where is @zebrastripes? But that makes me feel so much better now. If you just want to make friends round here, I suggest you just weigh in on topics and make your personality felt, that's how I made friends. It's a bit intense to have a 1 hour face-to-face skype session with an essential stranger and the whole point of a forum is to talk to people through text exchange and keep any more personal contact between super close friends you make. I think that's why you likely didn't get many sign ups. I just hope you don't feel too disheartened. It was the form of contact that people weren't interested in, not you as a person. 7 minutes ago, Dominic said: They would have just used your GGD username and their own Google account. Someone's probably just wanting a reaction from you. Try not to worry too much, easier said than done I know Yeah, that's what I'm hoping as well, logically speaking. And obviously, if I'd won, this thread would be an even bigger mess as I don't even use skype it would have to be done again to find a winner who was a genuine entrant. What makes me sad is that whoever did this likely wasn't necessarily trying to make fun of me or Christina, it was ProjectJoanne, because now they had even less entrants than they thought and someone was just taking the piss, basically. 5 minutes ago, ProjectJoanne said: Guys stop with the memes and stuff toward @StrawberryBlond this is a totally reasonable fear 4 minutes ago, Dominic said: Just stop, it's clear it has made her anxious so rather than making fun, support her.

Don’t worry about it tho I’m sure it’s just someone joking and trying to be funny. They probably only put your username in because they wanted reaction from you or something. Don’t worry about it. Literally the paranoia about online accounts being hacked literally entered my mind a few days ago and I've been worried about it ever since (my anxiety comes in waves and when it hits me, it's really bad). So, for this to happen today of all days was unbelievable. But people are putting my mind at rest and confirming my positive reasoning that it was just a harmless prank and whoever did it doesn't know us, we were just randomly picked. 1 minute ago, Glamourpuss said: @StrawberryBlond take it as a good thing that your name was the one chosen for this prank. It proves you're an iconic member of GGD. One way of looking at it! I can't explain why the other person picked was a user who hasn't been here since 2012, though. I think this thread could go down in history as "The thread where a winner was announced for a competition no one knew about, 2 entrants weren't actually entrants and StrawberryBlond went all MI5/James Bond on us with theories." I think we can legit say this was a bigger mess than the Gaga Skye Ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd only ask for the Skype account of the winner through a PM and me and Zebra have a PM open right now and we were discussing a little about the Skype call Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that has happened to me before. I got a notification for someone who logged into my Google account, and it wasn't me. It was someone from a complete other city, but my password was still the same. So I of course said it wasn't me, Google locked that person out of my account and I altered my password a little bit ﾘのひ ᄃﾑ刀'ｲ 尺乇ﾑり ｲんﾉ丂, ᄃﾑ刀 ﾘのひ?
