In case you missed it, I made this account this morning and made a post containing the password explaining that anyone was free to do with the account what they pleased. Within seconds, someone changed the password and e-mail address. It was one of the three predicted outcomes of the experiment. I figured that was the end of it, but then...
absoIutemadman
how do we know if op is actually op?
LoneDirewolf
Can I
WiserDucksLivesLonger
Cool! I followed it when it happened, and I saw the post with like 20 upvotes and couldn't log in. Sad that it failed :(
GeorgeForemanGrill
What's the password?
shmoopy220
Fuck whoever hijacked it.
badgelodger
Please run for President.
Calclance
Share it again @op. It'll be safe we promise.
BoboTheeHobo
But how do I know @OP is the real one...?!
xBurrito
I didn't see those posts :c I wish I knew what was going on
StraightJacket219
Now. Apply this knowledge to life. You can't share everything people are assholes.

Goddammit there is a fucking image for anything. That is amazing. +1
drtrollguy
I witnessed it all go down, the only thing that shocked me was how fast it got taken.
Soldierv2
What would anyone even do with an imgur account? The guy stole it because hes a badass or something lmao
JarethCutestory
Ridiculous. Like stealing a blade of grass or speck of dust.
LeadImgurScientist
Im just surprised no ones posted porn on it yet.
YourWaifuIsTrash
Maybe that's why it got deleted before
grumpykraut
It was to be expected. People can be base assholes. Especially when there's anonymity and an audience. Don't fret. You meant well.

User sub will keep you in the depths of user sub if you let it.

Quickly creates new account called "therealsharedaccount"

Touché sir
SmurfShanker58
Don't say hacked. It was just logged into. Not hacked.
gnoccochini
OP didn't say hacked
SmurfShanker58
meh.. Hijacked, hacked, same difference.
omegafurfag
that is indeed why we can't have nice things. people are douchebags.
Voltaire199
So you're saying there's a chance
CanadianGiraffe
I was actually going to do this... I'm sad now
alittletime
try having @sarah making the Username, Email, and pssword permanent so it could be a site-wide symbol
RubixPube
Likely it was imgur deleting the posts. Why? I'm sure they had some stupid reasons.
perpetuallylove
I've always thought of a shared anonymous account so it could truly be random moments for the confession meme.
Lobuttomize
Right after favorite folders
WanderingOnion
Don't worry, that will be rolling out in another couple years ago or so

you just made me sad

Not sure that's how passwords work.

Theman098
If password != "Password" set password = "Password"
SexyBiologist
Apt username. Keep up the good work!
ShaunDreclin
As for yours, I think we need some proof
StarmanUltra
From a conventional standpoint, they're not wrong. We might as well have an option to post anything as anonymous.

StarmanUltra
Right, and what they were saying (I think) is that a "publicly known password" ceases to be a "password"
ChickenChickenBurningBright
Called it, didn't I?
addaniel
That was one hell of a roller coaster.
manupug
LOL I knew that someone was going to be a dick
Drewpowers
People are assholes. I could have told you that.
hecknbamboozlin
I believe you, and in unicorns. And leprechauns.
TheBananaTrain
So your name is now a lie
FullPlateHero
Not really. It doesn't state that the account is currently shared. The fact that it was shared still counts.
underlord2132
It's shared with the only person OP trusts, himself.
Selenophiliac
Name USED to be relevant. Lol
StrategicallyPlacedBanana
Holy shit it was like, "hey guys here's a teensy bit of trust" *CHAOS*
AnonsAndMinions
But it was FUN chaos! =D I thought the whole 'guess my username' by the guy that initally hijacked it was pretty fun.

Thank you, very interesting to know.

Of course you got Chaos. Chaos is the only true answer. Now pay your tribute to the Dark Gods, loyalist scum.
ExpertWhale
It's trust + anonymity that leads to chaos. You don't see Canadians tipping over trash cans when others can see them.

i'd like to remind everyone of the clusterfuck that was twitch plays pokemon
FoxySpirit
What? Worked fine in the end. :-)
ChesterCopperpots
Lord I miss it
ActualAnimal
It's still on twitch
ChesterCopperpots
Not the same as that first elite four though
ActualAnimal
A bit late on the response mate...
ForTaxReasons
What was twitch plays pokemon? I heard about it but I skipped imgur that month because of exams
Flygonite
They ended up beating the other games too. It took a full 24 hours to get through the Rocket base. Worth checking out
ForTaxReasons
It's exam time again so I'm good but thanks :)
Flygonite
No one has free time. But I know I have a lot of misused time
TheLegendarySuperStrayan
Basically a streamed game of pokemon red/blue but thousand of people could type commands into the chat. Hilarity and madness ensued
ActualAnimal
It's still a thing on twitch dude
abyll
But is "Is TPP still a thing?" still a thing?
ForTaxReasons
Amazing. Thanks :)
Malkiot
It was also going on well over a year ago.
TheHuntedSnark
Remember when they dropped 12 Pokémons?

So... what did you learn OP?

There are only so many songs that you can sing to yourself before you start thinking of ways to kill people.

You, i like you.
valen00
people are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling?
AOYearOfBirth
We should find the IP of the person who changed the password, and egg their house
Synner1985
YES!!!! +1 for Dr Cox quote!

People. What a bunch of bastards.
AlfredPennyworthIsHardcore
Thank you.
waylandertheslayer
It's from the IT Crowd, and I've always loved quoting it at every opportunity
AlfredPennyworthIsHardcore
You clearly know what's up. Good job.

why nations have borders? o.0

That we don't live in Swiss

That only I am allowed to have nice things.
yummmmm

You could start an exclusive club. Less but still non-zero chance of the bad outcome.
LurkerOfDarkness
This was also a nice demonstration of why communism is both a great idea, and why it'll never work.
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
Will you share the password with me... I'm not one THOSE imgurians... i swear
TheyCallMeMrChicken
Im just happy the lil cunt waffle that hijacked it lost access. He desperately wanted people to like him. Now he's gone back into obscurity.
StarFox4ever
Love it!
JustAnUndevelopedImage
There's a Swiss twitter account that 1, different, citizen runs every week. So sharing can be done!
hippybobby
Can I borrow this account? (No homo)
bonkersbabytail
I can safely share it with you. You have my name as proof, just share it with me.
Jimmmydickgun
At least you know now right?
eagle193
and knowing is half the battle
GamermanRPGKing
shouldnt you change the name?
ciezer
Maybe just pass out invites to this social experiment? Like, view a random account every few days and if they /seem/ like s decent person...
ciezer
Message them the password and hope that your assumptions were right, rather than let just anyone sign in?
AricNeo
but is 'TheSharedAccount' really a nice thing anymore now that its name is a lie?
ydnab
You are the 1%
Cataleast
Not a bad lesson, that.
DaCrazyBeggar
There only ever was one possible outcome, welcome to the real world.
AwesomeMixVol6
and this is literly why WE can't have nice things.
Halosos
So, YOUR the reason we can't have nice things?

Sharing is only done by politicians trying to look good and people with STDs.
