Somewhere, one of these elitist bastards is holding on to a good working game, like the Crossed Swords 2 MVS, and not even playing it. It's like holding the Mona Lisa in storage and not looking at it.

Bobak makes the shittiest and gayest thread titles.
HPMAN was banned from here? Why?
He was a valuable resource in the tech forums. I thought he just got bored with the drama and left :/

I was surprised too. What was HP Man banned for?

I too would like to know. Already wondered what happened to him. Was it really that bad that it warranted a perma ban instead of a little vacation?

It's a possibility. Unless he pissed off Neo Gumby.

if you want my opinion, hpman never learned how to play in the sandbox. He has knowledge of how to do things, but it's only used to assert his ego. I have nothing against him, but he's really not a good person to have around here. Let him be cool somewhere else.

No, he offended FTL's "friend", famous scammer Laurent Klein who asked FTL to ban HPMAN and some other members and he just did. no questions asked. That's how he roll.

Haha, yeah--as we've learned, Shawn's sensitive about people rummaging through the site backpages
I mean, considering recent events, could you ask for a better coincidence?

Does the original Ghostlop rom set have the save screen glitch?
There is no difference in the game code between the 2 games. There is a watermark present on the "bugged" versions.

Sliced and Diced Thread / HP MAN BAN / Other Goodies
Firstly, this is odd for me. I come home after a long day of work only to find that for the first time ever, I find that a thread which I participated in has been sliced & diced and edited and re-arranged and moved, etc. What the hell? Oh well, what can I do about it.
With regards to HP MAN's ban, I didn't know or notice either, but I bet you I can guess what it was. It was the BULLSHIT KINDERGARTEN CENSORSHIP STATE with which this website was living under during the "playmore is pissed and cracking down on pirates" days. Yeah, things got to be so stupidly childish around here, that you couldn't mention the word "ROMS" in a post, or even ask what a conversion was, etc. It was so fucking stupid really. And long story short, that is why me, and everyone else who was involved with Ghostlop, Zintrick, etc. had to be careful about what we said. So sadly, things were basically candy coated and censored and heavily modified. So, this is one of the main reasons why the true story of Ghostlop was not (and could not) be told at this time.
Vinh did NOT want to be associated with the game, it's discovery, and it's destination in ANY which way shape or form. He was scared of playmore, and possible repercussions from them just like shawn was. So there you have it. The explanation for why Vinh was not mentioned or credited with regards to Ghostlop as well as a possible explanation for why HP MAN was banned. Perhaps he was talking about conversions, rom dumps, etc.
Nice thread. (thanks Bobak) Maybe I will spice it up a bit in a few after I relax some. Gotta kick off my shoes and get me a bottle of black cherry soda first. I will be back in a minute.

You sound like you "know" that FTL banned hpman.
Which is to say, you sound wrong. It wasn't FTL.

you know what? you're right, I'm taking comments too much seriously...need to work on that
I say take a break from these subjects, at least a day would be good =).. Its just gonna put you in a tail spin of anger. I've been down that road many times and have really relaxed with it. I know from a lot of personal experience.
Hi man , I have respect for you (you are a good man to deal with ...) but I think you do not know the guy you 're speaking about :
1/ He never used anything to assert his ego .
2/ He's not somewhere else (my little finger tell me that he's one member of this forum).
3/ he has been banned by Simone (FTL) like anyone of us would have been banned for shit .
4/ he's working on something (for the Neo) that noone will be able to forget (very very crazy thing).
5/ he's the most intelligent guy of the neoscene I know that 's why we did Ghostlop release 8 years ago .
6/ he's with Waku my best friend .
