Ok , now i understand the message, and now i can understand why u are worried.
I hope i get a positive answer from MA and that it'sjust a bug and nothing serious is happend.
It's verry hard to crack an accound with a goldcard.
On the goldcard is a list of numbers wich is synchronized with the servers of MA.
A hacker must have the right number list from the goldcard (and the right entry) wich is correspond with the list (and the right entry in that list) on the server of MA.

I bet (and hope) it's just a bug.

greetings,

bigdeal

Thing id check is if you remember where you left the av, or if he remembers.

If the av moved, then you know someone was on it, if not, leans more toward bug.

GL, I miss that sexy girl scout pic.

Our soc leader had this bugs for 2-3 weeks. Half the soc would see him login and the other half didnt. Then an hour later the first half saw him logoff again and the other half saw him login. We called it The Ghost. Seems to be happening more lately, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I had something similair with a friend of mine.
She logged in on saturday morning, i PM'ed her a few times but she didnt respond, then after 20 minutes or so she logged off.
Few hours later she logged on and said she was working the whole morning so she could not have logged in.
Her is account is pretty much empty, nothing valuable on her, so not really a target for hackers.

I think it's some kind of bug...

That helps me keep in track who people are. I have also people called:

WoF - "name"
VIP - "name"
cND - "name"
Art - "name"
Pilot - "name"

etc.


What a great idea!

With steam installed such "ghost" logins may happen. If the ava is untouched that may be the cause.

Aw, I forgot about the GC...Have not seen it since my friends got
the GCs.

A couple of other people have told me they had the same thing with 'ghost' logons so hopefully it is just a bug and harmless.

I have seen the same with several soc members. Sometimes wondering why they did not respond in soc chat before logging of again. The are mostly only online for 1 to 2 minutes at the most.

I will start keeping track of this and see to confirm with those people to see if they tries or were online at that time. If not i am gonna make some support calls.

I would think it is a bug. Or mayby MA trying to make us believe there are more people online.

Sounds like a bug or maybe with the server maintenance MA is performing they are running some type of diagnostic programs which log avies in and out but that is just speculation.

Hopefully its just an MA thing or a ghost bug.
