Watch Out PonyFolk!

[Planty 1,053]

Some people from 4Chan are planning on making a game that asks you witch of the mane 6 is best pony.

 

It then deletes your system32 file (breaking your pc basically) when you click on 5/6 of them

So if you see this BE CAREFUL !!

 

And don't go clicking of anything that is not reputable or on 4Chan !

Yeah, you can totally delete the System32 directory without elevated privileges, which most "safe" games won't require anyways. Just don't give elevated privileges to anything you don't trust, which you shouldn't be doing anyways.

 

Or even better.

 

Don't download stupid games, like this one? Especially if it looks fishy? ...

 

And don't go clicking of anything that is not reputable or on 4Chan !

 

Geez.

 

It's an imageboard site. Linking images or threads from 4chan is just as safe as from other image-centered sites. As for going on 4chan and clicking links, you shouldn't be doing that anyways. Nor should you on most sites, unless you already know where the link leads, and trust the destination site or resource.

 

 

While this is true, many people turn those off and are logged in as an admin all the time, making then seceptable to this.

 

No, you don't get me.

 

Any program that requires admin privileges, still has to ask for them before executing if they want to fulfill tasks that only an admin can.

 

Even if you're logged in as an admin user.

This is why I never go on 4chan or plan on going to 4chan ever

 

also thanks I play pony games a lot and might have played it and broke my computer.

Thanks. I usually never download anything unless it's featured on Equestria Daily, though.

 

I think this thread should be on the MLP Forums front page banner add thingy....

And yeah, i would hope people learned not to click link's, I definitely learned that the hard way ><

Incoming 4chan bashing thread of monumental size, talking about how it promotes uselessness and Brony supremacy! GO! ( Don't actually, you are wrong. )

Well, thanks for the heads up. Looks like I will not be downloading anything completely trusted from 4chan for a little while.

[FunkiiPanda 199]

Ahh thanks for the heads up buddy, I never go onto 4chan anyways I honestly don't find it interesting but its a good heads up for everyone else who uses it ^^
