Well, luckily I had nothing to do with it nor have I responded in this thread. I am sure we can all agree on the (subjective) fact that making fun of the terminal disease of someone's father is a low thing to do, and in light of the large history here it's insanely inconsiderate of Banzai's staff to place it and keep it on. I am specifically not pointing any fingers at Guyver here since someone else seems to want to take the fall for it, and well..face it, PL is an easy target, whether or not it's justified.

Now we have established some common ground, I'll put my feet in that ground and 'kind-of' agree with Ro...(I could never in my life completely agree with Ro on anything anyway). I don't think this website is a good spot to openly discuss the misdoings of some other website when basically it has nothing to do with either website...in both cases it has to do with the people behind the forums. I can understand Snout's pain and frustration and the utter need to vent it in a place where you *know* people will be outraged and agree with you, but the MSX scene (that little of what's left) is turning into a virtual middle-east: the fighting never stops.

It's nothing new either....like Ro pointed out, that DD demo where they literally burnt someone to the ground, including his mother wasn't exactly a sign of good taste either, but we all laughed at that. Of course we were all kids back then, I think the best thing Snout can do is accept that some kids never grow up and are simply not worth your attention, frustration nor anger. As for this whole situation, no matter how disrespectful, take it somewhere else, as this is not helping you nor is it bringing positive energy back to MRC. Basically, as your friend I feel sick in my stomach someone would have the nerve to do this, as a part of the MRC community however, it's really none of my business. People in general should realise that internet boards only affect your personal lives if you make them your personal lives. And such is not a good thing.

By the way Ro, the guy's name was Rudolf Poels.

aaah, Rudolf.. yeah. ghehe. It's always funny until someone gets hurt and then it's just hilarious (patton)

Worse, the MSX community as we know it (and love it) will one day come to an end due to this crap. I hope this will never happen!

This is already happened!
As we all can see, this forum topic is the most active in the last 3-4 days.

This only means that instead of posting msx related issues, we 'talk' about the msx banzai post.

There is no more to say about the guyer(?) post:
NO COMMENT.

So, anybody tried the OCM yet ?

Principally, Ro and MrRudi are right, but in this very case it's not really relevant whether or not this post should have been posted. I find it more relevant that it formed the opportunity to lighten the heart a little bit for somebody who has invested so much time and energy in creating and maintaining this very website (and many other MSX related things) and who is time and again the subject of badgering by a bunch of annoying slimes (to put it in RPG terms), who is, in addition, currently going through a very hard time in his personal life, where the slimes have dared to pop up and be annoying as well. Maybe things would have been different if MRC were a professional website, but in a case like this, I would also let my personal wellbeing prevail over whether or not it has a direct connection with the topic of the website. Especially since MRC is probably the only way where snout could vent his feelings and be understood.

I have the feeling that there have been times that I could express myself a little bit better. Ahwell, it's still early, but you'll probably get my point.

PingPong: keep in mind that the main motor of MRC was afk in march eh..
