Possibly a Cabbage Posted:

I’m aware of the penalty to stats, but it’s the combination of:

1) My attacks now have less power than they did a week ago.

2) The forum now has more ego than it did a week ago.

3) The stat penalty.

That takes something which *used* to be fun, and produced something which is possible, but entirely unfun. This is unfortunate. I mean, if I’m trying to grind for cred, it’s only reasonable to be tackling the highest level forums I can possibly do, but it’s a problem when a forum in the “possible, but takes fifteen minutes of clicking” territory.

The main reason the forum takes 15 minutes for you to pwn it is the stat penalty. My level 33 hacker would probably take 3 minutes. Which might be too long, but I think that is a different discussion. Either pwn a forum closer to your level, Teen Momies, or endure the consequences of your eagerness.
