get your facts right... the first time i was EVER warned about my behaviour was after the Simple flamewar, when Guy 'recommended' that I should take a few days out.
And you somehow think that he was completely fair within that? if LLRGT is exactly RGT then it'll have the records and posts from back then ... GO AND DO SOME F*CKING HOMEWORK!
You can't claim amnesty when you get involved and FIGHT quite fearsily for the one side in particular.
No doubt Simple was warned about his behaviour, AFTER that ordeal - but i know he wasn't during because Guy told me that there was no reason to warn Simple about the flamewar. Simple had done nothing wrong. His reviews were okay whereas mine were out of line!
... yeah the punk who'd known Milkshape for all of 3minutes, was dishing out advice like somehow he was an expert, totally disrespecting close to every single long standing modeller within RGT/DB, being truely brutal in his reviews of models and lets not forget the fact that he felt he was qualified enough to write a tutorial on howto model within a week of learning ...
His behaviour was sickening and a compelete insult to not just myself as an artist but almost every other artist on that board, most of which sat on MSN and bitched to me just as much as i bitched to them about how Simple seemed to believe that he had suddenly been upgraded to LORD OF THE 3D FORUM.
And the fact that Guy was never far behind when someone had something bad to say to him, and jesus christ Simple's original website was http://www.nmisoftware.com/~simple ... GuyS's original team and site on DB.
But no your probably right Simple was treated like every other person on that forum with not special treatment at all.
You have anyone with REAL talent on the RGT board and they were always overlooked, Sir Manfred being a prime example. No one gave a damn whenever he posted, except the handful of other talented artists. And i've heard the excuse "his models were never for games" but thats never stopped anyone reviewing others models of the same ilk.
you have real talent and your treated like crap, your skills are close to what people currently have ... just seemingly a little better and somehow your a guru.
don't try to tell me that it is just how things should be or that they get the attention and such from thier skills, because its bull and you know it.
they get it because of rep... that the whole reason people bitched about my reviews and not about Simples.
because I'm an easy target as lots of people hate me, its simpler to go with the crowd rather than have your own opinion about anything isn't it.
And thats the main reason most of your damn well hated me, because i wouldn't sit there and be like "oh thats fantastic" or "oh i totally agree with you, kudos!"
no ... i wrote what i really though about it.
and unlike others i NEVER ONCE said anything was bad, nor did i EVER say "you must do this, this way" ... i'd give an opinion on something and a suggestion.

ya'll want to sit there and claim something then fine... but damn well get your fact straight before you do!
I was banned LONG after there was the 'meeting' about it, and it had nothing to do with ANY of you. The fact that no-one has even come close to the reason blatently shows you don't have a clue.
Saying favouritism wasn't play is another lot of bull, although it had nothing to do with my ban - it still had alot to do with what i hated about RGT.
Still has alot to do with it now ... and if somehow you feel the community benifited from time without me, the flamewars DID NOT STOP - those who were a problem continued to be a problem, its just because they are who they are ment that they were 'respected' in a f**ked up kind of way.
Not to mention the forum thinned to effectively those who hadn't found Apollo yet, and those who hated me.
Less active members, less posts, and god forbid ever seeing ANYONE thinking outside of the box or being nice to a newbie who asked a stupid question...
waste of sodding time, i just wanted to bitch about the fact that i was banned without reason.
But NOOOO, people can't accept that quite frankly I HATE RGT for how they've treat me ... just because it is RGT doesn't mean bans were carried over. No matter how much you pretend, LLRGT is not RGT.
And you think keeping me seperate from everyone else improved RGT, then fine ... everyone who feels that way should get out of this forum then. Because quite frankly this forum deserves to benifit from the improvement.
Hell i'd give anything for this forum to be back the way it was before RGT first went down. Felt like nothing but one unending hell to me, dunno why people who don't like me even bother comming here ... you have your precious RGT, and I can't get on there because of the ban - so go on, get lost.
You people didn't leave when you knew i was here, and i doubt you'll leave now ... i even doubt after all of the hoohar about the member ignore feature, that those who dislike me with even bother using it.
Of course not, because why would they do that to keep the peace when antagonising 'Raven' is more fun and enjoyable, eh!
