Pink Poogle Toy Forum

x_x I'm not sure where this topic should but, but ... is it just me that sees this really funny blog thing there about killing the thieves?

o_O The scripting for the actual blog is.. normal... hrm....

^^; Maybe its a plot thing. XD;

Quick edit: It says

" $ date
Fri Dec 10 06:22:10 PDT 2004
$ grep -rin thieves *
grep: aisle 5 - weapons
$ kill -9 "thieves""

o_O; Probably a clue.

Been there since the start, actually. No clue.

That Blog has been like that since its release. TNT's Shop Blogs are, after all, meant for shops. And you know how sometimes people steal from shops (in RL, that is). The Bionic Cybunny us supposed to guard things, so the blog is supposed to give the feeling that it's protecting your shop. So TNT just decided to write something other than

just to go along with the whole theme of the Blog. But anyone could confuse it as a plot clue, as not everyone is a frequent visitor to the Neopets Shop Blogs page.

Very nice. There's another one with "Brrraaaaaaiiiinnnsss..." (I think).

for those of you that don't speak Unix script, let me translate:

$ date
should be obvious enough... prints current date/time/etc..

$ grep -rin thieves *
'grep' is basically a 'find' command ... the '-rin' are command arguments. Basically, it means "find the word "thieves" in all files (even files in directories), no matter the case, and print the name of the file in which the word occurs"

so... the output is thus:
grep: aisle 5 - weapons
which technically means it found mention of thieves in a file called 'aisle 5 - weapons' ..

$ kill -9 "thieves"
.. but they're being a bit loose with the spec, as this would normally kill a process (like an application in the background) called 'thieves' ...

but anyway...
