I'm awe-struck by the support Rip and I have received concerning NGG; you guys
were worth the effort alone.

However, the difficult part is convincing Ripper to invest more time on a third board
(he resurrected the board twice).

On a different note:
I believe the hacker attack was a punishment for my previous 'post', IMO.
While everything seems plausible in my mind, there is no reason to dwell on things.
Promises were broken, but nothing more.

I was foolish for even succumbing to the requests. I apologize to the entire
community and !Arcade! for mentioning something that should have been handled in
private. !Arcade! is a great company that produces high quality products (the
Phantom-1 received high praise in the newest issue of Neo-News), and you will
never see a 'bad' product from this company. There is no reason to boycott them or anyone else for trying to keep our favorite platform alive. To wit, are these companies looking to make money? Of course they are! Companies can't survive without
some kind of 'profit'. They have bills to pay and employees who are expecting pay checks; we can't condemn them for 'surviving'.

ith that said...
The time has come for me to leave the
community. I will continue to produce Neo-News (I will also continue to
communicate with my friends), but I will limit myself on these
message boards. Too much has happened over the past year, and maybe it is time
for this relic to retire. Game on, my friends.

I love you all despite our differences (yes, even you Chimpmister).

Peace out.

Why single me out Neolord? In the end, I threw my support behind you, and did order issue #2 of your magazine. I have no quarrel with you, I admit I did a bit of slice and dice a while ago, but thats past history now. I'm VERY sorry your forums were hacked, I don't approve of that nor do I think it is funny.

I think we buried the hatchet in the end, didn't we? I'm sure there were others who you had more trouble with.

But anyway, sorry to see you go. I'll continue to support Neo News Magazine by purchasing issues, if you continue to produce them. Good luck in whatever you do . . . <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0">

Ha,
You think thats a reason to leave. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

If we had a big "neo scene relic's that need to retire" contest,
I'd bet the votes would have me gone before you. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I may not have always agreed with you, but I've always respected you.

I'll miss seeing your posts, & I hope you change your mind.

Chimpmiester, I just wanted you to know that us burying the hatchet meant a lot to
me (you stuck out in my mind while writing that post, so I apologize if you felt singled out). I'm glad we became friends.

Peace.

Neolord, have you ever thought that your bowing out and (mostly) leaving the community basically gives the hackers just what they wanted, on a silver platter? You give up, and they win. I don't think that's right . . . think about it. I can understand if you don't feel up to putting your forums back up (although with the proper security I think you should), but to virtually leave the community on top of that? Doesn't make sense . . . . <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Mike,

I'm sad to see you leave, but I can understand. I hope whatever you decide to do, you have more success in. Give a shout out on ICQ if you're ever bored, you got my number.

Neolord, I am sick, phsyically.

"I believe the hacker attack was a punishment for my previous 'post'"

NL why the hell should your boards be destroyed for revealing truth about this stuff?
You spoke your mind, which you suffered REAL loss for your own opinion, that is the biggest load of shit I have yet to see. Its not right, what went forward was illegal. Hacking is a arrestable offence.
You got proof.

"However, the difficult part is convincing Ripper to invest more time on a third board
(he resurrected the board twice)."

Ripper was a damn cool guy, he worked his ass to the bone working out kinks and what not. the shit that happened is unforgiveable.
Competition is one thing, destruction is entirely different. Funny how alot of people shit talk arcade, once you opened your mouth you get a lawsuit. Anyone else notice this? BTW from what I have seen NEOLORD, did not publicly defame Ray's business ethic. The suit would be tossed. If NL was promotting there products not to be bought (as others have done with ngf for years on end) then there could be a case.

That phantom 1 advertisement, has no place in your mag IMO NL.

"I was foolish for even succumbing to the requests. I apologize to the entire

some kind of 'profit'. They have bills to pay and employees who are expecting pay checks; we can't condemn them for "

I would take that apoligy back, you did the right thing by bringing this knowledge public, you spoke truth about the crap that has ensued.
They called me a liar, yet nobody questions the numerous release dates given to a game that was supposed to ship today (from what I heard from shawn) -monday is what I got.
Profit? Hell no, the boards you had were for fans, you were not making dough off of each one to no end. It was all fan. For info, I had purchased a 400 cdz unit with about 14 games, thats a real deal. He never shoved adverts in my mouth I requested to buy it.

!ARCADE! may deliver the goods, but when you go and threatin to sue someone for speaking there mind then thats shit.
I remember arcade talking down Lord Akidadus. I would appear in court with you NL if need be, you got hard evidence on the shit that went down.

Its okay to bag on ngf (rightfully so, they are the uultimate pricks I have ever seen), when you question arcade's ethic then you get a lawsuit, hello?
I wish you would have went through with it NL, your site was damn cool. Now its dead, and your going to apoligise to them? WTF?
You know this aint right, I aint going hari kari over shit that someone else intended in the first place.
Regardless of what we say, it is a freedom based BBS, unless there was a early disclaimer saying it was not.

I stand my ground, even during a earthquake.....

Neolord, I hardly new ye....and I mean that.

All I can say is, this is bs from what I have heard....

Arcade has no respect at now, at least he better not after what has gone down lately in these forums.

I dont really know what has gone down, but !arcade! threatening to sue you for speaking the truth is shit, total shit, whats he so afraid of??

He MUST have alot to hide.....

But Neolord, I wish I had gotten a chance to get to know you better...take care man, and hopefully you will come back soon.

NEOLORD, I don't know exactly what's going on behind the scenes on this, but I'm gonna proceed as if there is no legal action pending against you:

You are being a puss about all this.

I loved Neo Geo Enthusiast.

I posted there alot.

Just because some Canadian Bacon Uber-Jerkoffs destroyed your board DOESN'T mean you should 'exit' the Neo scene.

Marsha Brady would've handled this in a less emotional manner, NL...

Fuck any asshole who plays dirty, fuck !Arcade! too!

Yeah Ray, this means YOU.

I am PISSED OFF about this shit.

It seems !Arcade!'s gone back to being ?Arcade?.

Fuck, fuck, fuck

I'm just about ready to start an ?Arcade? thread in the war room.

NO ONE has seen how caustic I can get here...

You want us to continue to support Arcade? You have no bad feelings? Fuck that, I never trusted him, and now I never will. A real buisnessman doen't do that shit. Will NeoNews still be printed? I'll buy his advertising space of need be. I only know basic HTML, but I'll rebuild Pao Pao Cafe from scratch. There is no emoticon for the anger I am feeling.

Neo Lord I have a question for you. When I first joined ng.com you were offering a newsletter subscription. Didn't you chrage people $30 for a years sub and only sent out one newsletter? Are you going to ever send out another Newsletter?

I am not as well known HERE as I was at NGG. I'm Kyo on that board. The reviews editor, constant contributor, and in general guy that threw out every idea in his head to bring some publicity to NGG before it was shot down.
NeoRevolution, the one that gave advice to everyone on how to avoid being reamed by the Neo resellers on price, that was me.
The one that constantly questions !Arcade!, that was me.

Laugh if you want at my friend LWK, he cared about making www.neogeoenthusiast.cjb.net succeed. LWK steps forward and says the truth, even when he knows maybe he shouldn't.
Then laugh at me too, I cared about it too.I guess it was just something special.

Something that should have been handled in private... That's what Neolord mentioned, he apologized for talking about something that should have been handled in private...

Those lousy hackers, did THEY handle it in private, or did those assholes bring down our hard work?
Did Ray give a phone call to talk to you about these things before your site was wiped out? I'm just curious, because we never really pissed anyone off other than those guys.

A few weeks back, I was watching RAW, you know, the Rock's big return. His whole debate on returning to the WWF or going to the Alliance.
Vince had this GREAT line "At least you'll be dealing with the devils you KNOW, rather than the devils you DON'T".

When the polish comes off of this Neonewcomer's reputation, and you need your conversion... We were just fine before with Jeff Kurtz, and those three little letters we love to hate.

I'll never do business with someone I suspect was involved with ruining my work. THAT is an ideal punishment.

I just thought this over... Neolord leaving the scene? Bah... Why?
Cuz Ripper won't rebuild the BBS again? Ahh that's not a huge deal, we could've still done cool shit with the site...
Cuz ArcadeRay had our BBS hacked into oblivion? Ok, so that's an assumption, but I just don't know who else we really pissed off other than MAYBE NGF, but this board lives on after railing them so many times...

Or are you just tired of the BS in this scene? It's true, what is being said. The Neo scene is the downright WORST in gaming. The most expensive, the most deception, the most outrageous claims, etc.

Therefore it's the most exciting. I'm not done, NL. I've got more to say, I've got more knowledge of the crap that so-called businesses are putting out to us Neo fans.

Scared of the lawsuit? Check with a lawyer, the whole damn thing is groundless. We're all but ANONYMOUS here.

I started this over at NGG...

Well, "joining the crowd" I agree that there seems to be no apparant gain from leaving the scene over something like this. Like Chimpmeister said, you're just giving them what they want. I suppose you do have Neo News to work on, that can occupy quite a bit of time I should imagine, but there's really no reason to leave the whole scene. Just take a holiday and come back at some point, refreshed. Ask around; it's a good thing to do.

To be honest you started annoying me a while ago when the whole !Arcade! business started here with what seemed like undying support for Raymond Young, not to say many others didn't piss me off as well, and I never got round to passing the 1 post mark on NGE (I was in Japan when I finally decided to register.. mostly detached from the on-line world) but it was still a nice BBS, and I'm sorry to see what's happened, despite my not knowing the full story for not having been there towards the end. By the way I was Mr Tea if you remember that name.

Anyway, think it over with a cup of darjeeling long leaf in hand and decide what's best for you. BBSes aren't essential; they're just nice to have if successful.
