All right,

I don't think Homeslice's Review is worthy of Neo-Geo.com -and that's my perogative as editor of the review's page. Is that open to some arguement, sure... that's what free speech is all about. And Gui put it up, so it has been posted somehwhere... BUT:
(if you have no idea what I'm talking about and want background info, read the following threads: http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=002965 http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=001760 http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=001767 )

I really don't get steamed by people who argue with me (otherwise LWK would have made me blow my top months ago). <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I tried to explain (in both the chatroom and the forum, see the first link) to Homeslice that he can write a better review with the same opinion and I'll post it, but he decided no to listed and told me that "he hates to write." <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">

And when Homeslice decided to change his username to a negative comment about me, I also wasn't too miffed because that's exactly what the infamous Dion Dakis did to Billkwando back in the day. Childish people do childish things. No prob,
<IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

However!
Getting a SELF-PROPAGTING WORM in my inbox this morning was going way, way, WAY over the line. <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">

That was something that is totally unacceptable on the net. Some people on this forum make their livings off of their computers. Hurting those can cost individuals a lot of lost work and money.

This kid had not only made an example of a pathetic review, he's made an example of how you can take something as fun as the net and take things too far.

This is something that people should know. I thought everybody here knew that, but I guess I was wrong.

Why is this being complained about here? No explanation needed. IMO this person should be banned from the board ASAP, end of story.

However!
Getting a SELF-PROPAGTING WORM in my inbox

Thats the action of a childish brat.
With no concern for the property or possible lively hood of other members.

IMO, that rates an IP Ban for life.
Goodbye.

Good lord. What a waste of the few seconds of my life that it took to read that "review." If the review section became filled with such nonsense, it would never be read. And by "nonsense," I am not referring to the negative opinion expressed. If a game is to be reviewed, it should not sound like the adolescent ranting of some inarticulate child. Now, I do not believe Homelice to be a child, as I have seen him create a number of posts that made plenty of sense and did not resort to the last bastion of the terminally brain dead; non-stop swearing.

If one hates to write, then one should not be writing reviews. The word "writing" is actually used to describe the process. So, basically, Bobak! is being attacked for NOT posting a review of little worth, due to its inarticulate nature, by a person that, evidently, hates writing (there's that word again) it in the first place.

Please, Bobak!, should there be subsequent submissions to the review section such as this, be they positive (THIS GAME ROX0RS!!!) or negative (see Bobaks! links), weed them out with all possible speed.

And LWK...oh LWK...dude. Why are you even here? I've talked to you a few times on IRC. You seem like a nice enough guy. Why is it that you feel the necessity to insert yourself into every F'ing anything on this board? I have yet to see you miss an opportunity to attack Shawn, Geddon, Bobak! or any other mod. What the hell? See if you can stand NOT posting for 3 days. And yes, in a row. If for no other reason, because ALL OF YOUR POSTS SOUND THE SAME.

I usually only have to read the first couple of sentences of your post to know which one of the few in your arsenal you have chosen to use. I'm not trying to beat you down or anything, but damn, you sound like a broken record. Give it a rest. You're not a cop, you're not a mod here and no one needs your pseudo righteousness to get them divine justice.

Bobak! is trying to make the reviews section into something that people are interested in reading and checking on for new content. If I found two or more reviews of the ilk that started this whole thread, I'd never go back. Such "reading" is a waste of my time.

This board is a voluntary dictatorship. We have the despot, Shawn and his little minions, the Mod squad. However, there is no iron curtain surrounding this little province. If you don't like it or are fed up, then please, do us all a favor and go away. Almost all of the people that are here like it here. I see constant bitching from about 4 people. Give it a rest.

And Puh-Leez, NO one resort to that tired "minority of one" crap. This ain't a revolution and the only thing at stake are some evidently fragile egos.

I agree, the deliberate and malicious act of spreading virii and worms should be met with Account Deletion and a permanent IP Ban.

Your description is a good one, RyoGeo. Voluntary Dictatorship. I was thinking Benevolent Dictatorship, but yours is the better description, as we do not force people to come to this site at gun point. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> They are free to leave at any time. In fact, there are some for whom I would downright encourage it. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Sending Worms and Virii is really lame. Ushually the sign of a very immature kid.

However it's pretty easy to protect yourself from them. Set your mail client to not download emails over a certain size (5k ushually does it).

And as long as you don't run anything, your safe.

But just the fact that he DID send it, means he wouldn't have cared about the damage it could have done. Oh well, he'll get a virus some day that will fck him up bad, and make him have to format.

He obviously downloaded this virus from a site, or got it from someone, so he may be infected already. Since I seriously doubt he made it, as far as I know homeslice is like 14 or 15.

Interesting, gentlemen...
Well was the email sent from HOMESLICE specifically?
If it was a email addy made to look like him that sent you the worm then it may not have been him.
I solely disagree with this virus BS, it ruins the inet for everyone, and makes people paranoid.
There are however many mediums to getting this off your back.
Bobak I suggest you get the hardest anti viral material available.
You will not regret it.
This I can assure you.
Most of these viruses are conducted through email so in my opinion the best thing to do would be to delete your PC available email and sign a hotmail account, to the best of my knowledge its safer.
In fact I know someone in chat who wiped there email from existance due to this crap.
As drift king stated, if you block a certain size amount out, they wont be able to transfer to you.
That is a great way to rid yourself of a nightmare since these worms etc, are decently large in size.
Just do not expect to get photos through email anymore, or you could remove the block to the emails you know are specified photos.
There is always a way around this thing.
Now if only I could change my worldnet email addy, I hate it so much.
Brings a saying to mind.
"In every truth there is a lie, in every lie there is a truth"

Well since you decided to bring my name into things, I will enlighten you of my attitude.

"And LWK...oh LWK...dude. Why are you even here? I've talked to you a few times on IRC. You seem like a nice enough guy. Why is it that you feel the necessity to insert yourself into every F'ing anything on this board? I have yet to see you miss an opportunity to attack Shawn, Geddon, Bobak! or any other mod. What the hell? See if you can stand NOT posting for 3 days. And yes, in a row. If for no other reason, because ALL OF YOUR POSTS SOUND THE SAME."

I vouch for the Bobak bashing, I have got mad at Shawn as well.
However I do not fight with Geddon, and where you get this idea is beyond me.
Thus begins the "I" athon.
I post less then I used to.
Its not because I hate this place or "Want it burnt to the ground"
Its because there is SO many arguments, even mine (as a very debatable person) get lost in other people's whining.
I barely talked to you through IRC.
No longer do I use IRC, I only enjoyed it due to the copy and paste option, in which I could post links. The direct chat from ng.com is much more enjoyable IMO.
And no I am not a nice guy, nor am I a mean guy. I cannot stereotype myself to one category as nice or mean, because each would meet on equal terms.

I make my choices, I cannot always be nice or mean.
I consider myself neutral in certain situations.
I can forgive just about anyone on the inet, even if they hacked me.
Here are my reasons.
1) Its the inet, its full of good and bad people, regardless of there attitudes they are all different, in order to coexist with them you must understand where there coming from.
I speak my mind, hell if I get pissed at Bobak! I do not close the lid, I tell him.
I have been flamed a shit load of times, to me a flame is just another opinion.

Conveying emotions on the inet, is EXTREMELY limited.
Now see things in this light.
I may agree or may disagree, and that's a rare quality.
I give credit to very few people I have met on these boards, not because they are ancient in the scene, not because they have more games.
I do because I like to argue, I also like people that speak there minds, whether it be bad or good.

I do however find this bringing of my name with few avid points to be saddening.
I will post as much as I like, you cannot control that, and this attack on me has got nothing accomplished.
Like you said "you seem like a nice enough guy"
I am nice enough, but I am not perfect, because in my mind perfect does not exist.
The saddest aspect on the whole about the inet is, there is little chance you will meet the people on the other side.

The spice and taste of the internet is in the fights. War is a lust of many members here, whether they would like to admit or not, these bitching threads keep this scene alive.


"Why is it that you feel the necessity to insert yourself into every F'ing anything on this board?"

Why not? Is that not the reason this forum was made public? Then again thats a extreme exaggeration, but is kind of enviting in a way, after all I am involved in this now.
Alot of times also are because people like to bring the letters LWK into things, which I being the party involved must do what I feel necassary.

"I have yet to see you miss an opportunity to attack Shawn, Geddon, Bobak! or any other mod."

I have missed many "opportunities".
I am member number 386 now I am sure things insued before my arrival.

"See if you can stand NOT posting for 3 days."

What will this accomplish?
I think you are paying far to much attention to this inet stuff on the whole.
This is like me saying to you "lets see if you can come up with a Kizuna US"
What do you gain from this?
Switch the table in my direction with that in mind.

"If for no other reason, because ALL OF YOUR POSTS SOUND THE SAME."

That's impossible.
My standing now can prove that, look around at things.
This very response makes that statement incorrect.

That' enough about me, and the unsurpassable amount of "I's" in this response.

Now take for example this invitation you have given me for a fight, what will come of this?
You can answer that better then anyone as the "envitee"

My dream in life?
Perhaps a strategist.
Now one thing people should remember, if they do not know.
Bitching about somone is like calling the name of evil aloud.
It will always appear.

I still can't believe Homeslice will do such thing to email worm to someone.
Well, if he really did then it's a stupid move. Just feel sorry for him <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Yeah just does not seem like him.
Man who knew a review would end up like this.
I still will not believe he did it, until a email is posted. (No offence)
I know slice, and I KNOW this is not something he would do.
He usually is just verbally abusive when he gets mad, he would not go this far.

Well if Homeslice did it, then he should be shitcanned. Permanently. No excuse for that kind of childish garbage. <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">

And to LWK: RyoGeo is normally a very calm and non-flaming kind of person, so if you piss him off, you've definitely done something bad. In all the time he's been posting here, I've seen virtually no flames or negative comments from him. Same for Mvsholic, Blaine, and some others here (excluding myself, I freely admit to having been harsh on occasion). If I were you, instead of always acting like the innocent persecuted one, step back and look at what you're creating here, and make changes if necessary. I'm not flaming you at all, just making an observation and positive suggestion. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Bobak, you are in charge of the reviews. Everyone should know this and accept that you are lord and master over that domain.

If Bobak doesn't like a review he doesn't have to post it. Simple as that. Now, if Homeslice is upset that he was publicly put up for ridicule for having his review displayed for everyone to see and feels he has to retaliate, that's one thing. But it should be done in the thread pertaining to that review. That is the place to state your case, and no other (with the possible exception of 'Suggestions').

Does Stephen King firebomb the publisher when they tell him to do a re-write? Does Oliver Stone kick down the door of the movie studio when they tell him his film's too long or too vulgar? I'm sure they WANT to, and while the comparison of Stone or King to Homeslice is an extreme one, I think it also accurately makes its point.

They may get mad about it, they may even SAY something about it in public, but they don't resort to retaliatory actions that don't even attempt to solve the problem at hand. Sending a virus because you're mad at someone is WAY out of line. Computers aren't cheap and it takes a lot of time to get them where you want them in terms of performance and software, and you wouldn't like it if it was done to you. So don't do it to others. You have a problem with someone, you go after the person, get in their face and air it out. You don't go after their friends, family, loved ones or property. Period.

And sorry, Homeslice. No personal affront intended, but it's not a good review. If I read that on a site somewhere, I wouldn't take it seriously because it is far too venomous and biased to be, in my eyes, an objective quantification of the subject of review. It may have been somewhat harsh of Bobak to make an example of you publicly, but from where I stand the only thing that resulted of it was a bruised ego. You don't kill someone's mother because they slapped yours.

Of course, all of this might not mean anything. Homeslice could be innocent of sending the virus, as LWK's suggesting. If that turns out to be the case, I'll humbly apologize for my negative comments towards Homeslice at that time.

Computer viruses are serious business, and while I normally stay out of these pissing contests, reading this made me very upset and I felt I had to add my own perspective it.

Bobak is in charge of reviews. Anybody doesn't like it or the way he handles it, make a thread in 'Suggestions' talking about it in a respectful and petitioning manner. State your case intelligently to Shawn and see what he has to say. This is the country of Neo-Geo.com, and Shawn is the king. He has the power to make those decisions, and if you make enough sense he'll probably act accordingly. But if your case is weak (or if you've retaliated by sending self propogating viruses to peoples' computers), don't expect to get what you want.

My point oh two.

Most of these worms propagate by sending themselves to everyone that you have e-mail from in your In-Box, or everyone in your Address Book. If this is one of those, like the SirCam Virus, then we only need to ask if anyone else that exchanges e-mail with HOMESLICE also received it. If no, that strengthens the argument on the side of a direct attack from him. If several of you did receive something similar though, then it could just be synchronicity.

Well, it definitely wasn't the sircam virus. I killed the worm before it was downloaded [thank you Yahoo!] so none of you should worry about getting unsolicited email attachments from me <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Amazing how a topic about slice has degenerated even lower.
Guys I hate to say but I am bored of hearing about myself, I think we all are.
The guy started by attacking me out of nowhere.
Thats like me saying to you "chimp your a cockmeister"
You will have something to say.
Hell, make a observation on his attack on me, in a topic that has nothing to do with me originally.
People want a fight, why dissapoint.
This topic is not even news BTW.
This shit should have been posted in the warroom.

Which NOBODY has proven yet that Slice purposely did this.
I am chatting with him and he says he never sent a worm, I bet it was all a fuckup of his mail, at a horribly bad time.
Its amazing how people forget all the good things once other start to get pissed.
I am standing on slices side, he has always stood on mine, and its the honorable thing to do.
If Ryogeo gets pissed then to bad, he flamed me, I have yet to flame him.


People know I got a bit of a temper, yeah I get pissed.
Well you know what, I am so sick of explaining myself to people I will never meet in reality.
People here have literally NO PERSONALITY, stereotype accepted.
When I change my nick to something it is meant to be seen as a joke.

I have never had any problems with Ryo personally, but he brought my name into shit, and that is my reaction.

All the people here who hate slice DOES NOT know him. I am disgusted that people that he supported are not jumping to his defense.
It was probably a accident, and even if it was not Bobak what the hell did you expect, you trashed the guy.
Say I took a crow bar and mashed your face in with it, you suppose to forget it happened?
Homeslice has been a member for a while, he got into the neo here and I will not drop him at the site of unproven alligation.
Hate me for it, I honestly dont care anymore.

WELL, I THINK VIRII ARE WELL OUT OF LINE, AND SHOULD ENSUE A LIFETIME BANNING......

HOWEVER, I AM INCLINED (DUE TO READING ABOUT VIRII ETC SOMETIMES) TO GO WITH BIOMOTORS LAST THEORY (EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN I HEARD HED SENT A WORM)

AS FAR AS I WAS AWARE, "WORMS" MAIL THEMSELVES OUT, INFECT AND MAIL THEMSELVES FROM THERE TO MORE PEOPLE.......

SENDING VIRII IS A VERY STUPID THING TO DO, I WOULD EXPECT THIS OF SOMEONE VERY MORONIC, BUT IVE TALKED W/HOMESLICE QUITE A BIT, AND HE SEEMS LEVEL HEADED ENOUGH TO NOT SEND VIRII(HE DOES GET MAD, SHOUTS YELLS AND NEVER STOPS)

BOBAK, YOU HAVE A VIRII PROTECTION ONBOARD YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT?
WHAT WAS THE WORM CALLED, AND WHAT ARE ITS AFFECTS ON A COMPUTER......

THE TYPE OF WORM WOULD HELP ALOT IN DETERMINING.......

JUST LIKE VENOM AND ANTI VENOM, TO GIVE THE CURE IS ONE THING, BUT WHICH ANTI VENOM IS NEEDED?
NOT ALL SNAKES(OR WORMS) ARE THE SAME....

AND BOBAK!, IM SORRY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU, HAVE YOU SAVED YOUR COMPUTER?

Ok, all I have to say, is this fucking site has offically gone to hell in a handbasket!!


Sending fucking viruses!! whoever may have done it, thats wrong!

If slice did it, thats horribly wrong, if he didnt, better get some proof going here so his ass dont get torn to shreads by the other memebers.

This sit, now has pretty much gone to shit.

Your right LWK.
I think people forget, everyone here has a right to voice an opinion.
Regardless if its popular, unpopular, or down right asinine.
Doesnt matter.

You had as much right to repond to this thread as anyone.
More so, since you were dragged into it.
Lets all try & keep that in mind in the future.


As for HSlice.
I don't no him from adam. After seeing his tantrum, insulting Bobak.
I felt it was obvious that he meant to do that. Sometimes we judge a book by its cover.
No virius, worm, trojan ever made locks onto a target's email address book,
then just picks Bobak's address to attack.
That's not possible, so if Hslice cares to have anyone other than yourself believe him.
Then I feel an explanation is in order.
I dont feel thats to much to ask.

A friend of mine works at Mcafee and any worm nowadays can email it'self out. Homeslice may not know he is infected. But at this point, here is another theory. If he has emailed other people, what people talk to homeslice on email? THat would be a quick solve. If no one else got a worm or virus, that may solve your problem too. If he talks to others on/through email and no one else has received it, then he's axed. If others have, then that's your answer.

I do find it disturbing that Homeslice would do that but you never know. He could be playing on the "I didn't know I did that" rountine. Be cautious Bobak

I'm unsure of what to say in this case. When LWK brought it up to me that I should probably defend homeslice, I kinda took it as a given. In this case though, I'm waiting it out til we hear from him. I have exchanged e-mails with him, and I've received nothing.
