After thousands of hours of seeing spam tickers to visit the hack site: www.flycheats.com.br (or some shit like that) from the player FlyCheats(star)... the GM's Finally awoke from their long ass slumber and put a stop to the maddness. Rather then just killing the stupid hacker... they killed our ticker *sigh*.. This is too bad for those who like to use it for good purposes. The ticker can be quite useful at times... but that shit just had to stop. Between occupying the ticker, to lagging the game, FlyCheats(star) is probably now the most hated person atm lol.
So.. as I was playing.. I finally saw a GM post saying the ticker would be unavailable for use until further notice. So if you are wondering why you cannot ticker something.. this is why. All I can say is thank god for no more spam (:P).
