Alright people, I know I'm not an admin, but I do have my two cents to put in. Imitating an admin - especially the main admin - is very disrespectful. I'm not sure if you all know how much websites such as cBox and ProBoards have advanced. Now, an admin can research anyones ip address and see what they posted in the cBox or on the game. Admins can ban ip addresses from joining a game or posting in a cBox, and it isn't something that you can change, because it's from the database of your computer.
For those of you who don't know what an ip address is, it's a series of numbers and periods used to differ from each and every individual computer. Every computer has one. ProBoards and cBox cannot give out the full ip address to ANYONE except police, because you can use the full ip address (over hundreds of numbers long) to find out the exact location of a computer anywhere in the world, but only police, military and FBI have access to that. We're given enough information about the ip address to be able to tell apart who does what, because they're all different. Even if you change your user name, as our little cBox 'mastermind' did, your ip address will not change.
Pretty much, that's a warning for people to know it's a lot harder to get away with things that you do, thanks to advancement in technology. Personally, I can't believe that someone would do something so low as to impersonate an administrator and cuss under their name, when they very clearly do not cuss and are not disrespectful. But another thing that gave it away is the person who did it didn't even ACKNOWLEDGE the post, and carried on with what she wanted to ask, never once did she post about it. That, and the ip address, gave it away. Next time, think things through, and you'll see you can't get away with it. Thank you, -DreamW.

Yeah, I also have something to say about this!!!
When I read that post- I can't quote it exactly because Shadow did the smart thing and deleted it- but it had some pretty nasty words and was pretty much yelling at everyone about not being active, for those of you who didn't see it in the cbox. So when I read that I'm like 'Omg- that doesn't sound like Shadow at all- she must be really mad...'
And then I found out that Shadow didn't even post that it was actually someone imitating her!!!! How rude, unconsiderate, jerk-like, and downright STUPID is that? And yes, I will call that person a jerk and a lot of other stuff which I shouldn't say because imitating another member, and ADMIN at that is BEYOND disrespectful. It's beyond rude. And I don't even want to know who did that because that would totally ruin my opinion of that person forever. Although, I guess, that's only what they deserve.
First of all, no one deserves to be imitated like that, especially not Shadow. She is always nice and a totally awesome admin, and if that person was mad about people not being on DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON THE ADMIN!!!! It's not their fault. I, for one, have a site which is very inactive currently and I'm trying my hardest to get it back up again, but I'm just really, really busy lately. I'm sure the same, or something similar, is true for Shadow.
And THANK GOD for ip addresses because if that person ever came back on this site and did anything rude, disrespectful, stupid, mean and totally thoughtless thing again I would like, hunt them down and kill them or something (obviously not. But I would try XP).
So if that person is reading this and hearing all these bad things about them, GOOD! You deserve it! No one but Shadow will probably ever know who did that because they're probably too cowardly to turn themselves in, so whoever you are, whether or not you're reading this, whether or not you ever come to this site again, know that what you did was about the worst thing you can possibly do on an RP site and that a whole lot of people on AM, including myself, hate you for it.
So that was my little rant there, I apologize for the lengthiness and if I happen to offend anyone besides the person who deserves to be offended.
Thanks for putting up with my crazy temper, and know that if you ever imitate another member on any site I will personally hunt you down.'

Thank you Dream and Ariela, I appreciate your support . Yes, I have found out who was trying to impersonate me, and we have contacted them.
