obviously my last post about this disappeared, probably some collateral damage from massive g-e-r-i-cleaning. i won't type it out then.

who was he? i missed out on it as i haven't been visiting these forums too often. obviously he was some kind of spammer, but what happened? i always love forum idiot stories

It's not a very intresting story, he is from hungary and speaks bad english.
He got baned I presume either from his posts requesting people send him dbpro or his anti-american posts. He now returns occasionally and spams.

It was mostly due to his piracy posts. He still pops his head into the forums every so often.

i am?! ... geez i think i need to up my medication again :p
i think Geri is pretty funny; he's like a crash on the motorway, you know if you look it'll be pretty bad but you have to see just how bad the damage is.

almost as good as playing office games hehee

Megaman msn'd me a few days ago and said that people kept offering Merc jobs. He said it was getting annoying, then I asked him if he was a mercenary. He ends, by saying he usually doesn't like to work for foreign countries, unless they pay him $5,000 minimum.

This guy is seriously messed up.
