*Fake, obviously.*
From 2003-2005, David Blocks introduced a feature called Stars. Initially, players were thrilled about this new addition. However, as time passed, cheating and exploitation were discovered. Some users, such as CodeMixer who created exploits after being banned in 2004, were able to manipulate the system and gain an unfair advantage by accumulating large amounts of Stars through cheating or hacking. This caused an imbalance in the game economy and reduced the value of Stars for honest players. The David Blocks community began to lose faith in the system. In response, David Blocks implemented stricter security measures to prevent further exploitation. Despite these efforts, the damage had been done and the reputation of Stars as a reliable and fair feature was tarnished. It is believed that this was the last straw for David and led to him shutting down the game in 2005. WOW that was a mouthful.
