We, the Bungie fan community, need to consider doing something nice...
I am not going to link (it's been done enough already), but I believe that it has been confirmed that a particular domain on the Internet (with the word Destiny in its URL) is not owned by Bungie LLC but in fact by someone who is likely (well, at least until now) unaware of the Destiny/Bungie link.
So, if (and I am still open to evidence that shows the URL is Bungie-controlled, but I believe that it is not) we've been pounding that address, site and login with lame attempts to "get in", I think that we (as a community) may want to show the owner/host of that address that we're sorry for any inconvenience and/or perceived threat/attack that they may have felt due to our.... eagerness.
So, idea and suggestion time. What is the correct etiquette for a "sorry that we appeared to be raiding your server"?
Flowers?
A card?
A t-shirt?
A cool "I survived being Bungie.netted" logo for their front page?
Any ideas are welcome, what say you?

So lost here.[/quote] Summary: 1: Destiny information leak occurs. 2: In online information related to the leak, a particular URL is mentioned as being Bungie/Destiny-related. 3: Lots of people (members of this site and non-members) attempt to browse that URL and log into that site. 4: I propose that the site is due an apology/explanation from us, the community. 5: It is later shown that the owner of that domain/site is not likely impacted or bothered by the extra hits or unexplained login attempts. 6: However, it is pointed out that many people probably used their WLID credentials to attempt to log into that site. 7: Those people should be made aware that if they did, they should take the precaution of changing their associated password ASAP. and here we are now.[/quote] sorry, but what are WLID credentials and why should I change the password. Also why does Foman no longer feel sorry for this guy?[/quote]The owner has owned the domain since 1995 and internet archive photos show that over the years, several different businesses have used the site as their homepage. All evidence points to the domain being a "cybersquatter" who purchases domain names containing popular words for the sole purpose of selling or renting them out at a profit. Cybersquatting annoys me, as I do not think that it is a legitimate business, and therefore I no longer feel sorry for the site's owner.[/quote] just out of curiosity, how is it not a legitimate business. While I don't think anyone does it full time, as a side job it doesn't sound like a bad way to make some quick cash. What if I went and bought the domain FinalFantasy19 (we all know it is going to happen). Isn't that smart of me since I know that company will eventually have to buy the domain from me?
