Thanks for the info.  By the way.. how do you keep track of this stuff?  Do you keep a database for internet scumbags?

Yes, it's four or five years later.

However, this recently came up in other places and is a perfect example of why people avoid this community. You had one guy, Atreyu, (who has a kid to feed) who bought a few games from people and sold some of them for a profit of a few dollars. What this really amounts to is a collector accidentally getting more than one of a few Hucards and selling off the duplicates.

Then you had this other guy agree to accept money from him for a few items. Long story short, the other guy tears up the money order and spends hours posing action figures for a comic strip which he edits with photoshop, to make fun of Atreyu for (1) trusting him and (2) sending him money. This causes Atreyu (who lost the stub) the loss of all of the money he sent, and (assuming that the other guy didn't just tape up the money order and cash it), the money was lost. No one profited, but Atreyu lost money that could have put food in his child's mouth.

Then almost everyone on this thread agrees with the other guy that Atreyu is the bad guy here. No one seemed to think the fact that a grown man took the time to make a comic strip using photographs of his action figures to make fun of someone else was unacceptable. It was puerile and deranged.  This action was also a form of stealing. If I take $40 out of your wallet and tear it up, and can't spend it, I've still stolen $40.

The crime of Atreyu is "attempting to profit".  In the real world this is NOT a crime and is not unethical.

The non-crime of the other  guy is "taking money from the other person and destroying it". In the real world this IS a crime.


When I used to participate in these threads I was constantly mocked and attacked for just trying to participate in civil discussions about topics that interested me. I am not at all surprised that these people behaved this way because that has pretty much been my experience here.  Most of the people that jumped on the band wagon against Atreyu are still active here and they still act exactly the same.

What exactly is your purpose here?  To stir the shit pot or what?  I have been here going on two years now, and have had VERY few run ins, and they were nothing that made me not want to come here. If your whole purpose here is to complain, and revive long dead threads to do so, then why come at all?  If you dont like it here, then leave...  Its really that easy ya know.  What other community do you know of, that is constantly holding raffles, giving away stuff?  What other community do you know of that tries to give each other better deals than eBay?  I hold raffles ALL the time, as well as others.  This community is responsible for reviving old systems, making old systems better, trading games, ect...  I could nit pick like you seem to be doing all day long.  But at the end of the day, I have a beautiful boxed Turbo Duo, that I got from these forums, I then had that system refurbished and modded right here in these forums, and I have obtained all of the games I had back in the 90's, mostly from right here in these forums.  Yet....you say people stay away such as yourself?  Hey man, sounds to me like maybe....just maybe...the problem is you??  Ever consider that?  Why not hang out some, talk with some folks, stop being so sensitive like in the Super HuCARD thread, and enjoy what these forums have to offer. Join a raffle or two, hell..start a raffle.

Congratulations, Supremo_Lagarto. You've just won yourself 15 pages of flaming with Michael Helgeson's new user ID. I hope that's what you wanted. If you thought waiting 4 years to get the last word in would work...it won't. That guy's energy knows no limits.

You'll have to maybe wait an hour since it will take him some time to finish that action figure comic he's working on about you now.

I'd need another money order from some other bitter loser cock smoker to rip up though for the next comic strip. You volunteering? Other then that, nice necro post on a classic thread. Thanks for the chuckle Atreyu 2.0, or who the f*ck ever you are.

I really don't give a shit about people doing this. Its slightly annoying that Atr3yu seems to post about nearly nothing but buying and selling, but its just an irritant. Its nothing major.

Over 4 years later, same shitty attitude towards the community concerning this sort of thing.

Well, I don't remember any of this bullshit, but the fact that you're the kind of person to stew with it for four years and come back with an axe to grind makes it easy to see why you were mocked.

He blocked me on here, but basically, he was Captain Boyscout in threads and would often say some pretty dumb shit and wonder why people were hitting the "f*cking duh" button when they posted.

Yes, it's four or five years later...

STATUS: You had me at "Yes"...
