I got a mass e-mail from this shady, disgruntled emu-dev tonight. I'm betting some more folks here will too.

So did I.

Ditto. 

Gatt:  That sounds like something I would say.  :D  Of course I would be kidding... or at least half kidding. 

That might be my new tag-line.  ;)

I also got the email. I've never had anything to do with him or commented in his mentally unstable rants. I did reply to it and let him know just how much I didn't like appreciate it.

It's unsolicited email, IE Spam, just forward it to his ISP along with all the other complaints.

May as well also show the usenet stuff as evidence, the way he's reposting the same copy+pasted text over and over again could also easily be classed as spamming, not that you'd notice on a newsgroup these days ;-)

What if he is having a breakdown of some sort?

rather irrelevant.  he needs to be disconnected before he does some REAL damage to something.  The hacking of the forums and other sites is a step too far.

if he needs actual help he should seek it, or those around him should seek it for him.

More over this sort of activity seems to be pretty common for him. Go read some of the other forums he's been active in. It's all just batshit insane rambling. The conspiracy theory stuff is particularly golden.

Many of which have nothing to do with MAME.

Has anybody leveraged the "Report Abuse" function on that Polar Elephant ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- yet? It is, after all, spamming this site with his crap.

I think it may be time to take up a collection to send someone down to visit spacies and deal with this ---P&R denizen---.

I would volunteer, but I think that perhaps Xiaou with his death punch may be more suitable.

Ha ha. Actually I have moved cities and I drive through that suburb to my friends place about 3 times a week. Anyone got an actual address? I don't mind a bit of door knocking  >:D

And why exactly would you want to do that?

What would you hope to achieve, and for what reason? You would knock at the door, and then? What would you say? Of course you would not do it, even if you had an actual reason for such risky stupidity, unless you really are stupid, but what in the world makes you post this nonsense in response to several months old thread, especially since Saint explicitly said the forum has NOT been hacked and the attacks are NOT related to the amazing Driver-man?


Are you "nz spacies", selling so called "arcade" cabinets with 60-in-1 bootlegs and PC/LCD monitors?

Lighten up.

You have been well behaved since you came back, so let's leave it that way.

And, remember, you were the one who said that 60-in-1s were legal because you paid taxes on them.  ;)

Yes, limit the nonsense to those few you've already infected. There those of us with real projects and we don't have the time nor desire to filter more nonsense from these forums.

Watch your mouth! No that is not me. I have a nice collection of machines I imported from the USA and none run anything 'bootleg' pal.

The reason for digging up this thread was because I searched my username to try and catch up on old posts and saw this thread with Cheffos post about coming for a visit and the ---rectal-santizer--- who is hacking forums. I use to come here quite a bit and enjoyed my time here. Wether or not I would go for a 'visit', well I choose to not to reply to your comment.

I was just asking, sorry. So, maybe then we could indeed pay a visit to each other. Perhaps play some games, drink some beer, maybe snort some coke, or have a friendly fistfight? But, be warned! I'm very good at playing games.

Yeah, but Saint said couple of times the forum has _NOT_ been hacked, and the attacks are _NOT_ related to Driver-man. What reason does that leave you with? Games, beer and coke?

Yeah, and in fact they are legal, meaning - they are not prohibited - regardless of their "actual" would be status if someone who could do anything about it ever cared to do anything, or even be aware of it at all, for that matter. It's not the legality that is irritating in that case, it's the wording of the auction, lies and misleading, and the worst thing about it are the damn LCD/PC monitors in those otherwise nice cabinets, which they forget to mention in the auction. If they only explained their cabinet is NOT actually "real arcade cabinet", as they call it, and that in fact it could not take any genuine arcade PCB, then that auction would be completely fine by me. Do you agree, my friend?

I'm all lightened up, glittering in the flames of rage, as usual. Don't you miss me? We had such a good time, didn't we? Without me it's so boring around here, admit it! -- We discussed MAME legality, we talked about control input ports, there were some VGAtoTV drivers and ParallelPort drivers, we fixed YieAr driver and 720 driver, we took down Aaron and got rid of Derrick. Ah, those were the days. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Actually, I have enjoyed your recent threads but didn't want to "out you" since you were being so well-behaved and not being, well, yourself.

I am curious to see which path you will follow now that you are, once again, out of the closet.

I do applaud the improvement in your unattributed quotes -- the scriptures are a more worthy source than a Wachowski teleplay (even if it was really fun to watch!), but you should remember what the Nephilim were ... and what happened to them.
