What in the name of Kong is going on?

[orchidius]

So,

I'll get right to it... What's going on? I've been out for a couple weeks now, and all of a sudden the forum seems to be under attack by god knows who for god knows what reason... I've been reading up a little here and there, but I still can't quite figure out who is targeting us for what reason, what his past actions were and what he's trying to achieve.

Could anybody fill me, and others that are still in the dark, in real quickly? No need to write a full novel, but just the big lines.

Thanks!

Driver-man (assumedly, we don't actually know who it is, but the IPs have matched between him and one of his recent incarnations) is trying to crack any passwords he can, and apparently failing pretty hard.

Backstory: He started stating his case, fine. He got upset and started getting belligerent, fine, we have trollsregulars that frequently get that way. He starts spouting off about some sort of "coding duel/challenge" or some crap, and that we're all d-bags, etc. etc. etc., Goodbye driver-man. Comes back as alias after alias, starts spamming various boards, blah blah blah, gets banned again and again.

But yeah, I haven't seen any accounts actually get successfully logged into so... LOL...

Same old story...

Some nerd on the internet is getting all puffed up because he is angry that life has dealt him such a crappy hand.

The usual taken to a different lvl of childishness? :p

What was his problem to start with and where does he think he's going with this?

Something about some grand MAME conspiracy whereby the devs are actively trying to make MAME more ---smurfy--- with each successive release, about how the controls aren't functioning the way they should, and the devs could fix it, but they don't want to.  He wants us to all join up on his bandwagon so we can kidnap the MAME devs and force them to code for hours on end in a dark and dingy basement filled with rats and spiders until they give us what we really want, which is something that they aren't giving us already

Well, it all began in 1986 when Atari released a little game called 720[degrees] which sported a novel controller.....
