noticed this:
in the same thread by the same guy: "I made this game with my friends over at G. bros software"

I think he also stole a game from g.bros

Don't we have a member named umpalumpa?

lol. Im not even pissed at the guy. Its sorta sad. and a bit funny Pathetic is a good word. There is a member named Umpalumpa on this board and it apears that they are one and the same. Just a guess, they both speak poorly and he posted several games from these forums. Wish I could verify that with an IP

Apollo attracts some seriously lame juveniles. Most people don't seem to have any intention of ever using DB/Pro. I think everyone should have a project on the go, even if it is on hold. So at least start a game everyone!

Edit: Or draw some graphics, make some music, anything game related.

froggermon disable hotlinking (stops people showing images directly from your site) for a few weeks so the images wont work for him. then rename the file on the server and replace the filename with a txt file saying you made the game and "here's" the new link.

if they screw you, you should be able to screw them over

Well really, all you have to do is put Froggermon, Esc, on the loading screen. If somebody uses your game, at least it has your name on it. Make sure the media is part of the exe.

What's even funnier than that is the download link has the ID string TGC gave each of the Alienware entrants! I wish a member of his board asked him why there's so many extra random characters on the end of his download link

Now maybe it's me, but why does that sound like "the dog ate my homework ?", I don't know. maybe coz it's a crock of baby poo perhaps.

The guy is too stupid to know that his previous posts are dated.. erm.. hello

Lol, does anybody have a copy of the original posts, I'd love to read them

What an idiot

I reckon we all should sign up and create a nice, large complaints topic over there.
In it we can post his previous message, dated from the time he "forgot" his password.

I really do feel like registering on those forums and uncovering this guy.

What makes me even more annoyed is that he deleted a post where somebody found him out, and that makes me mad

And he then has the nerve to ask the admin to look into how his account was hacked into

I saw the post and i laughed, wot a looser he is

It makes me sick that there are pricks like that bloke who steal other peoples games to which they put a lot of hard work.

@froggermon: you shoulda put a copywrite notice in your game (u did make roswell racer didnt u?), then you could sue the bastard, pardon my language .
