Going in-depth with the current situation

If you’re reading this post then you’ve most likely just watched my update video, which crudely explains the situation of which I have gotten myself into. If you have not watched the video however, then I suggest you do so by clicking here.

Anyhow, recently my friend’s Geoff and Trevor opened up a Minecraft Server for their site OrbzGaming. Things went well until a user decided to get into my Minecraft account and ‘test out the server. Later on we found out that he had not actually been into my account, but I will explain this in fuller detail later. So Geoff later informed of the situation and then about an hour later a User under the Nickname of ‘Expert_Builder’ Logged on. We did not know who he was, but we thought nothing of him. Eventually this person got on our nerves. We had all had a very stressful day anyways, and we took out our anger on this person. We should not have done so, but we did not think rationally and did anyways. Anyways, after this point many things happened to our server. We were griefed, we were attacked, ‘hacked into’ and then today we finally found out that it was all Expert_Builder’s doing. We also found out that he was not actually getting into our accounts, but rather using a client to trick our server into thinking it was us.

After this point things went downhill, we turned off the server to prevent further attacks, but then things moved to Twitter and Xat. To put it in short, Geoff’s Twitter and Xat were compromised and Expert_Builder now has control over both. He later threatened over Xat that anyone involved with the OrbzGaming Minecraft server would also be hacked.

Normally, I would not take such threats seriously. But seeing as how Geoff’s accounts were so easily taken and also seeing how the server defenses were easily bypassed, I decided that this was not a threat to take lightly. I tried to apologize on behalf of all of us, but this person did not listen.

So, in a last ditch effort to stay relatively safe, I have decided to take a break from the internet. This means I have hidden my YouTube account, and defended my Twitter as best as possible. I have also made sure to change passwords to all my accounts, and destroy as many trails leading to my personal life as possible.

Does this mean I will be totally inactive on the internet? It may APPEAR that I am inactive.. but I will be checking frequently to see how things are going and whether or not this so called “storm” has blown over. No matter what though, I do plan to come back. If my accounts are compromised, then I will start over. If nothing is solved, then I will still come back. Basically, I will not be gone for long. I am giving myself at the most 3 weeks to fly ‘under the radar’. Once that time is up I will come back and try my best to stick around and do what I love to do best, entertain you all. :)

So, hopefully you understand my situation more. If you have any questions then feel free to PM me on my YouTube account.

I hope to see you all VERY soon :)

Rainy Day

Rainy days are very productive, depending on what you plan to do of course. If what you plan to do involves going outside… then they probably won’t get done. Fortunately, in my case, everything I planned to do today involved staying inside. The constant down-pour of rain gave me an excuse to stay inside and get things done.

So what did I get done today? Several things. Since I know some people like to have things listed, I’ve made a bulleted list below.

  • I have completed 1 new CP video (Which will be released on Saturday)
  • I have made much more progress on my Minecraft Custom Adventure Map.
  • I have made a bit of progress on animation for my Minecraft Video series.
  • I have successfully made myself a sandwich.
  • I have been working a bit on my 2nd channel.
  • I  started on another 2 CP videos
  • I made this post to inform you all on these wonderful occurrences.
The best part? It’s only 5:00pm and I still have 7 hours to make even more wonderful progress. This is why I love Rainy days, you can choose to be lazy, or have an excuse to stay inside, on the computer, getting things done. Now I guess you could say I have no life… but then you’d be both a hypocrite and wrong. Anyways, so after today, I believe you all will be seeing a lot more of me around here on the internet… or at least a lot more of my videos anyways.
So thats all for this post! Later today I will also be attempting to ‘renovate’ the blog a bit… I don’t like this look very much anymore, so look out for new changes!
Thanks for reading!

Q&A and What the future may hold?

As many of you may know… almost a month ago I quit Club Penguin, and YouTube after becoming fed up with the level of immaturity and the constant fights that went on between me and my friends here on the internet. So I left. I told everyone that I would leave the internet (not as a whole) forever. Obviously.. I did not keep my promise. I came back to Twitter barely 2 days later but left all my other accounts dormant. Why? Because I did not want to pursue a video making ‘career’ anymore… and I was not really interested in Club Penguin. But now, after a month of thinking, I have decided to come back and resume my old hobby :)

Now I understand that a lot of you may have some questions.. and maybe even complaints.. so I’ll answer some questions here.

Q: Why did you come back?
A: I came  back, not because I loved Club Penguin and playing the game, but because I had fun making videos for people to enjoy!

Q: Why didn’t you tell us you were still on Twitter?
A: I didn’t think it was necessary.

Q: Why can’t I view your channel?
A: I may be back… but I do not plan to open my entire channel to the public just yet.

Q: So now that your back… will you stay and make Club Penguin videos FOREVER?!
A: No. Like everyone, I will someday loose interest in CP video making. I don’t want to be the 20 year old who still plays a child’s game.

Q: 20 year old? Are you 19?! o.O
A: Of course not. I am 14. I am just stating that I will not play the game forever.

Q: Will you still be making CP Movies?
A: I am unsure of this at the moment.

Q: In your video… you mentioned that you would be making other videos… what do you mean?
A: What I meant was that I would not only be focused on CP video making like I was before. I will now be focusing on other things as well.

Q: What are some examples?
A: I will be making Minecraft videos, along with live action videos, Vlogs, ect.

Q: Was this entire “Quitting forever” Thing just a big stunt to gain attention?
A: No. I am not an attention seeking idiot. Although I was an idiot for saying I was quitting forever… I quit in the pressure of the moment.. when I was very stressed and was not thinking clearly.

Q: What kinds of things do you have planned for this summer?
A: Keep reading and you will find out :)

Q: Do you still work for MSF?
A: No. I quit a week or so before I left the internet for a month.

Q: Why would you quit MSF?! They are the best people out there!!! you could be famous!!!
A: Well, I do not believe in fame on Club Penguin… I also did not do much for them and their views so I left and made some room for other videomakers who have more potential.

Q: Have you considered joining again?
A: It has crossed my mind but I don’t think I will be working for them anytime soon.

Q: Now that your back.. will you work with me on a video?
A: Sorry, but no.

Q: Why not?!
A: Because I do not work well with others when it comes to their ideas. I try to improve them without asking.

Q: When you quit again… will you quit EVERYTHING!?
A: I have no intentions of quitting YouTube in the future… though eventually I will quit Club Penguin.

Q: I have more questions and none of these answer them. Can I ask you some?
A: Go ahead and comment below and I will gladly answer them!

Now then… What does the future hold? Well… I plan to make some big changes to my YouTube accounts content. Not only will I be producing Club Penguin videos… but I will also be producing some Minecraft videos and maybe some other gaming videos. Basically, Zpopcicle98Z will be an entire channel dedicated to only Videogame videos. However, Zpopcicle98Z will not be my ONLY channel… I will also have a new channel dedicated to Vlogs, live action videos, and anything else I may come up with. Now for the plans for this Summer… I plan to release (hopefully) one Club Penguin video a week… along with the occasional Minecraft video in between. I also plan to become more interactive with the people who watch my videos… so that they are no longer just subscribers.. but friends as well :) I have many more things planned.. but I have to keep them secret.. I don’t want to spoil anything!

So thank you for reading and I hope you can forgive me for the confusion I caused.
