Hey guys so I'm banned from HaloMaps..

[t3h m00kz]

... because Dennis perceived this as a "troll video."

3-08BiGFPiY

Now, after I posted this link, I was told my opinions were well thought out by the other members. However, Dennis responds "One more gone because troll links = immediate ban."

Opinions? Did I cross any lines I shouldn't have?

[klange]

Welcome to the party? I was banned back in '06 for exposing a security hole in their forums. Why he uses a third party forum written in ColdFusion is beyond me...

In short, no one cares.

[t3h m00kz]

I'm not trying to sound like I'm whining or anything. I just want to know if you all think the ban is justifiable.

[Amit]

Anything that has CMT written in it will get you banned over there.

[t3h m00kz]

Yet the "No more CMT topic" thread is still open for people to discuss.

I'm not entirely sure how that makes sense, just seems to me like a way for them to weed out people to ban.

The thing is, I don't troll when I try to get my point across... I tried to be relatively polite in that video.

[Boo Diddly]

Well, from what I could figure he (Dennis) thought that you may have been trying to get a flame war going on or something over this video. I'm not sure what is in the video atm cause dialup is ftl, but it is possible this video could be seen as a troll attempt.


Or he just wants to be a prick /shrug.

[Disaster]

No Dennis had no right seeing as you were just voicing your opinion on the discussion at the time.

From what I see, you were breaking no rules. No profanity was used, you were not flaming.

Doesn't seem like trolling to me.

[teh lag]

He's had to deal with way more shit from those kids than anyone should. All the problems that our team has caused (both from idiot kids and our only occasionally-justified responses to them) would put anyone in a less-than-charitable mood, especially since it's been going on for so long. I really can't blame UXB for having zero tolerance for stuff having to do with them.

I agree it's not quite a "troll" video, but I think he just wanted (a) to avoid any drama-connected response that would inevitably come and (b) to show that he has no reservations when it comes to enforcing the CMT discussion ban. I know you weren't trying to provoke an angry response, but you have to admit that they were probably going to respond in a way that UXB wouldn't want to have to deal with. With all the stuff he's had to clean up, it's understandable that he doesn't want to have anything to do with this.

E :

He absolutely had a "right". It's his website, and up to him to decide what is and isn't what and who he wants there. It might not have seemed "fair", but even that is debatable.

[t3h m00kz]

Yes, I know that now. I'm talking with some people, and nobody thinks I was trying to stir anything up.

had I known the situation however, I honestly can say that I wouldn't have made the video in the first place.

so why not put mookz on probation or give him a warning or something, and edit out the video link. its not like he was even partially offensive to anybody in that video. 1/3 of the video was him agreeing with that recon guy, 1/3 was stating points about the EULA of the HEK, and the other 1/3 of was charitable criticism on why nobody will take the recon guy seriously. the people who give "crit" in the WIP threads are at least twice as bad as mookz could possibly have been.
yes its dennis' choice what he does, but mookz doesnt do anything bad over there. if what mookz did is grounds for banning, then give me 5 minutes to make a list and half of the halomaps regulars will qualify for a ban, myself included.

[sdavis117]

This is just putting gas onto a flame-war. I can see why it was banned.

You should know better then to feed trolls m00kz.

[Disaster]

I worded that wrong. I meant that it wasn't fair. sorry :embarrassed:

[Sel]

Hahahahahahah wow.

Those guys videos are pretty lol

I think he's long since run out of patience for something like that. I know I would have. See, we have the benefit of retrospect and can act as calm individuals, but he's been dealing with this for a very long time and knows how easily stuff can turn into a mass shitfit. His forums have been hacked/exploited numerous times, spamming in the style of darkzealot seems to be a weekly occurrence, and then there's also the general idiocy of random members - more than enough to make a person not really care about "fair" and just want to keep stuff under control.

Yes, it was an extreme response, but do you honestly think that you would have the patience to do that had you been putting up with everything UXB has? I know I wouldn't.

[Donut]

this is coming from me after not logging on for about a week, but iv been there for about 2 and a half years now. iv seen the shitfests that go on there. i guess im kinda biased because i like muki, and because i dont have to deal with the shit over there, but muki never stirred up trouble, and he released his ut2k4 mod, AND open sourced it. i can see why dennis would want to keep it under control. my point of view is that muki is was one of the most constructive users over there

[Boo Diddly]

Took a look at said thread and it seems he is kinda baiting and banning people. Unfortunatly you tried to make something that might have been fine but the moderator wasn't in a plesant mood and took your video as a troll and wtfbant you. On the other hand its hard to read that thread with all of the deleted posts and whatnot.

I'm sure if you talk with him somehow you could possibly get the ban reversed, but it sure ain't no guarentee.

[t3h m00kz]

I'm pretty sure Dennis doesn't allow anyone to know his AIM or EMail or anything.

[Donut]

i was almost going to suggest you register a new account to pm him with, then realized the wtf in that.
...owai

[itszutak]

I'm on a dialup connection right now and can't see the video.

Can someone describe/summarize it?

[t3h m00kz]

This is just putting gas onto a flame-war. I can see why it was banned.

You should know better then to feed trolls m00kz.

I was banned for "trolling." If that's trolling, half of the people on HaloMaps need to be banned. I realize now that I was somewhat feeding the fire, but I wasn't trolling, was I?


I'm on a dialup connection right now and can't see the video.

First page, last post, pretty much.

[blind]

I fail to see a problem with getting banned from HaloMaps..

[Sel]

I fail to see a problem with getting banned from HaloMaps..

Yeah pretty much this.

What have you lost, the ability to respond to incredulously stupid posts?

[t3h m00kz]

I happen to like to throw my two cents out there every now and then. I don't flat-out hate HaloMaps a few of the people here do.

[Joshflighter]

Most people in halomaps have been banned most likely more then once. Lol. :p

[Pooky]

For once I agree with blind.

I don't think you really lost anything of value.

[RobertGraham]

I fail to see a problem with getting banned from HaloMaps..
^This

Even if you were registered, what would you have missed in 2 days? Its the same crap over and over again.

Ex.
Post #1: OMG, CMT SUCKS!
*Off Topic Trolling and Flaming/Drama Begins*
Post #354: Alright guys, lets keep this on topic or Dennis will lock
In the big scheme of things, CMT Sucks.
*What a Hypocrite, more off topic trolling and flaming/drama begins*

[blind]

Hey fools if you're gonna agree with me then plus rep is needed.

[n00b1n8R]

Dennis is just a hard-line tight ass, but then who could blame him.
Sucks but deal with it vOv

Also, watched 30 seconds of the idiot's vid, couldn't stand any more :lmao:

[Limited]

Dennis just cant be arsed to deal with it any more. Does he have a right to do it? Meh, to me as long as he bans ANYONE who says completely anything ill of 100% perfect posting.

Do I think you should have been banned? No, course not.

By the way, SO glad video is available in HD. :-D

[t3h m00kz]

I know. My voice pierces your ears so much more in HD.

E: not worth it.

[RobertGraham]

Not to be mean, but what's the big deal? You got banned from a forum, life goes on :S

[legionaire45]

Let them wallow in their own shit, you're way above their level. Don't even let it bother you.

[t3h m00kz]

@ Robert:

I was an active member; upstanding, supportive. I helped where I could. I gave people advice on their stuff. I never flamed people, even when there are huge fights going on around me, I bit my tongue. I took pride in the good I did around there.

Maybe I'm blowing this way out of porportion, but ffs, voicing my opinions in a mature tone is a ridiculous thing for me to get kicked out over, especially considering the fact that I didn't break any of the rules.

I'm assuming based on your last post in this thread that you're biased against HaloMaps in general, so I'm not expecting you to agree with me.

Legionaire: Sorry I'm like this at the moment, I'm just kind of venting, the whole thing has me a little annoyed.

[English Mobster]

But you know what will happen when Dennis can't take it anymore and closes the forums, right?

They're just going to head to the second-biggest community they know of (http://www.modacity.net).

[t3h m00kz]

HaloMods?

that's just a little joke

[Mr Buckshot]

Halomods is full of fail, it's populated with nubs who scream "omg 1337" when someone posts work that even Strider could do with his eyes closed. I haven't even registered there, not worth it.

[ThePlague]

Sucks that you were banned. I've been banned there a few times and once I never broke the rules. (other time was because I replied to a spam msg) Don't even worry about it. Since I left there everything's been way better. You don't want to get attached to a place like that, especially with someone like Dennis as an Admin. Because as everyone knows it's only a matter of time before he snaps, and the forums get shut down forever.

[klange]

Halomods is full of fail, it's populated with nubs who scream "omg 1337" when someone posts work that even Strider could do with his eyes closed. I haven't even registered there, not worth it.
I wish Halomods was like that. 'Cause it's not. It's full of absolutely no one, except for a few long-time members who spend their entire time bitching about how the forum sucks now. I give it five weeks before it finally goes to hell.

[itszutak]

And mook, you should bring this up with Dennis. Not this thread, just that you've been a constructive member for a long time.

[ICEE]

Though the content in your video doesn't necessarily cross any lines, the video its self would perpetuate the argument. I wouldn't have considered it a troll post, but I understand why he took action against it. Tough luck mooks :/

[p0lar_bear]

This is just putting gas onto a flame-war. I can see why it was banned.

You should know better then to feed trolls m00kz.

Yeah, this. Like I said to you on Live, the guy was just some worthless troll. All you should have done was laughed at his pathetic videos.

[Cortexian]

I've only ever gone to the HaloMaps.org forums once, and that was to advertise Lancers Edge. There's no reason for that website to even have forums, and Dennis's best bet would be to just remove that feature from his website.

[t3h m00kz]

I have. I sent an E-mail, but alas, 3 to 5 work days. Mentioned that I've given the community an open sourced mod, etc

I hear from some people I'm most likely not gonna get unbanned though

[Masterz1337]

I've only ever gone to the HaloMaps.org forums once, and that was to advertise Lancers Edge. There's no reason for that website to even have forums, and Dennis's best bet would be to just remove that feature from his website.

I'm really tired of hearing the members here put down Halomaps. It is the hub of the community, while it has plenty of idiots, there's plenty of people who go there to ask good question and get help, and not just on "why did Sapien close."

Little to nothing about CE gets done on this forum. All we ever see here is talk talk talk, bash bash bash, crit crit crit. If the whole community of Halomaps had that attitude, the Halo CE community would be long dead.

I understand this forums need to value quality of quantity, but without anything actually being done, there is no quantity to allow quality. Halomaps has plenty of crap modders and decent modders and it even has some fantastic modders. They all turn out content, they enjoy making and releasing that content, and other people enjoy playing that content. What is there to make fun of?

Now in response to Muki's OP, you did break the rules, and your post was just inviting more drama, regardless of whether or not you meant to. I think the ban was a bit harsh, but Dennis doesn't make exceptions for people or place them above the rules, which is much better IMO than the policy here. He's trying to show everyone what happens when you go against his rules, and is trying to clean up those forums.

[Limited]

Screward, your forgetting the most important step a project takes, Implementation thats why people post here, to get crit on their work that will be in a map. Without that process we wouldnt be able to better our work.

In my opinon, I'd much rather see 10 topics that are talking about the process and progress of a map, showing model pictures, design ideas and maybe a few rough in-game pictures,

Than seeing 2 topics that only consist of the release post of a map, which is at bare minumim a few screenshots, description and a link to the file. These topics go down very quickly and people dont really take much interest in them.

I'll summarise it for you.

Modacity - Development Chatter, main site IS forums
Halomaps - Release chatter, main site is to host maps, the forums are a side addition.

[rossmum]

Halomaps does churn out a lot of content, but the vast majority is absolute dross. The good stuff comes almost exclusively from either ex-GBXers, ex-Modacity members, or current members of those two, and pretty much always has. Not a lot gets released here, but a lot gets developed, which is the important part. No point releasing a buggy, poorly-made map, but there's plenty in making an excellent one, whether it's released soon or not.

[MetKiller Joe]

Not a lot gets released here, but a lot gets developed, which is the important part.

In a community where the main purpose is just to improve skills, this is true. I'd still say that Halomaps is bad in that nobody seems to care about quality, but maybe the same could be said here where people don't just "shoot the engineer" and release. Finish what you start; IMO, that's even more important.

[rossmum]

Not necessarily - even if you don't release it, you learn. On the other hand, a 2-second box map teaches you virtually nothing (unless it's your first attempt at actually getting it ingame).

[MetKiller Joe]

Not necessarily - even if you don't release it, you learn. On the other hand, a 2-second box map teaches you virtually nothing (unless it's your first attempt at actually getting it ingame).

We are in agreement. I'm just stating that, outside of this community, releasing is what pays. Which is probably irrelevant to the conversation, but I hope somewhat relevant to the mindset.

[Cortexian]

If I released a map that people played for all of what? 24 hours after the release date? I wouldn't be very happy about my work, regardless of whether or not it was my first release.

I think the first map that I ever "released" was a map mod of Camtrack Arena, I modified and released Camtrack Arena FX to actually improve on the game play of the map. Mission accomplished. I still see the odd server running Camtrack Arena FX these days, and I released it Janurary 17th, 2006...

[Donut]

I'm really tired of hearing the members here put down Halomaps. It is the hub of the community, while it has plenty of idiots, there's plenty of people who go there to ask good question and get help, and not just on "why did Sapien close."
people ask those questions here too, and get better answers. yes you have to wait longer for a response, but its better than people bitching about vista and duel core processors by the 4th post, without ever actually answering your question.


Little to nothing about CE gets done on this forum. All we ever see here is talk talk talk, bash bash bash, crit crit crit. If the whole community of Halomaps had that attitude, the Halo CE community would be long dead.
you realize that the vast majority of the people at halomaps do exactly what you just described for modacity, right?


I understand this forums need to value quality of quantity, but without anything actually being done, there is no quantity to allow quality. Halomaps has plenty of crap modders and decent modders and it even has some fantastic modders. They all turn out content, they enjoy making and releasing that content, and other people enjoy playing that content. What is there to make fun of?
how many good maps have been released since last summer? i can think of 2, and both were made by higuy, who mainly posts HERE. you are right. halomaps users DO turn out alot of content, but how much of it is worth even clicking on? and as far as making fun of halomaps, did you follow either of the 2 CMT threads? or any of the 43 H3MT threads?


Now in response to Muki's OP, you did break the rules, and your post was just inviting more drama, regardless of whether or not you meant to.
i agree with the second and third part of this, but what rule did muki break?
NOT trying to troll you at all btw. people tend to take posts like this offensively

[Dwood]

Dennis just isn't in the mood for arguing. If it wasn't for modacity being down and that bug exploit discovered, Dennis would never have brought halomaps back online when he closed it for several days during the last bug exploit. Dennis has probably had something going on about his company in Halomaps for a long time.

Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing those forums being closed. What I think should happen is that Dennis lets someone take over halo maps (e.g. host and sell the content) to let someone else take care of it.

He's obviously either burned out of halomaps or close to burned out.

[t3h m00kz]

If I could throw something out here, I think he should have allowed more people to administrate the forums. To be honest, taking it on as a one-person job is a bit of an odd decision...

[p0lar_bear]

Dennis's colleagues repeatedly criticize him on running the Halomaps forums, hell, I think the whole site.

We as a community are lucky (and I'm damn grateful, I'll tell you what) that he hasn't decided to just drop it and run. Halomaps is the definitive archive of Halo Custom Edition, and if it weren't for him, CE would have been nothing more than a subforum on Gearbox and a footnote in a Wikipedia article.

[teh lag]

If I could throw something out here, I think he should have allowed more people to administrate the forums. To be honest, taking it on as a one-person job is a bit of an odd decision...

IIRC, it has something to do with contracts with his clients (he does run a company after all). Something along the lines of not allowing anyone but a UXB employee to have administrative privileges. (I may be totally off).

[p0lar_bear]

That's correct. I once even went as far as asking if he had any job openings at UXB once, parially joking.

Of course, my resume probably wouldn't warrant a hire for a fukken datacenter (no certifications or education past high school heh), and I doubt they'd want to pay me just to read posts on an internet forum. :downs:

[Joshflighter]

I think this thread is about done.. dunno, but seems now everything is off-topic.

In all, halo maps is all drama and crap where beginners usually go. From there they become way better and come here and share the time in both places. At Least I do.

OP, yea, vid was awesome.. but uh... how long do you think it would have lasted before Recon would have came back and spammed and then posted porno or stuff? (owai, that happen.. lol)

IMO, this thread has served its purpose.. just saying. :)

[Disaster]

So who the heck is this ReconDevastator guy, he was part of CMT then got kicked out?

Nah, he hates H3MT. Then Masterz said some stuff, and BOOM, the guy went berzerk in his vids about CMT. Ask me, and I think he is just another guy wanting to cause drama and is bored. Anyways....

[t3h m00kz]

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I think the guy's trollin'.

Fragmaster style.

[Disaster]

Just so you know i'm like 99% sure CSFLOYD is recon :S

[DarkHalo003]

Lol, if that's the case, then Floyd is probably doing it so he can laugh his ass off. If you were working on a failing Grifball project with kids who have no clue what they're doing, then I'd need a stress reliever too.lol.

The method HS is going to use to create Grifball in CE could be done in less than a day by me if I still had an operable Gmax. I LOLed. You can make an assault gametype like that, but not a grifball one.

[Joshflighter]

Floyd wasn't pissed when I was flaming his ass off on xfire. Reason? He is recon. He was laughing knowing what he really is/was doing. :|

[DarkHalo003]

Well, I suppose it's whoever's opinion. Unless all they do is say that CMT Rips or H3MT rips, then they are voicing an opinion. Either way, I have no clue what the opinions are, so I'll keep my mouth shut for the time being.

[Joshflighter]

The recon is floyd. I met him at a match in Halo 2 vista.

He was saying about the sad failed attempt at a beta. So its him.

At Least he is only 12. I still feel said at why someone would want to bring such a kid to earth. Ohwell, morons are always around.

EDIT: he is such an immature fag.

Your post is very immature and stupid Fear. People turn out differently than when they are 12 years old. You're also insulting a 12-13 year old. What does that show about you? I'm bringing this point to your face so you realize how stupid you're acting too.

I saw the opinionated videos. I laughed if anything. Why should this even offend y'all if all it is is some little kid mouthing off his not getting anything he wants? Retaliating is exactly what he wants you to do. Grow up and learn to ignore this type of spam.

Nono, you are taking it wrong Dark. I am saying that he is 12 to just show how much more immature he acts. Why? Because like it or not, its well known that kids that are younger act more immature.

Im not acting stupid. Stating some opinions. Like Dennis says.. Opinions cant be stupid.

[DarkHalo003]

Uh wow, did you just type that? You can ask a lot of the older members of this forum how opinions can be stupid, meaning uneducated, meaning downright misinformed. On a side not, I never said he wasn't acting immature, but the way you're putting down your opinion looks immature itself. You don't see me calling you a faggot or a moron when I talk about you now, do you? No, I thought not.

lmao, that prick didn't leak anything you did? Now did he? No.


Also, dont turn this into an argument. You are nit picking at things. Look what I put in bold. Yea, so he is immature, glad you agree. Age has LOTS to do with it. You seem to be around the same age or something to be getting all jumpy at my statement. Its just the truth.

EDIT: nvm, even ODX was (look below.. lol).

[ODX]

Yes there are people that aren't immature, look at ODX for one. He wasn't when he was 12, but most are. Its just how life is.That's a lie, actually. My 12 year old self was a total moron, and when I grow older and go to High School I'm going to look at my current self you see now, as a complete idiot as well.

[DarkHalo003]

That was actually a typo fear. That was was a wasn't.lol.

I'm 16, Sophomore in High School. Why am I serious about this? It's more or less I've been one of Floyd's friends for quite a long time AND it's because you're acting hypocritical. You keep saying how immature his posts and his actions are, yet here you are calling him a fag and insulting him. That shouldn't fly, especially if you're older than him. You should know better and Grow Up. This is actually a little offtopic too, as the topic is about MookZ being kicked from Halomaps for trolling (whether it's right or not).

Mookz, I don't think you should have been removed, but I think it's Dennis showing he won't tolerate anything.

Running away? Wth.. you seemed to be creating the argument, stay and Finnish it.

So you are his friend and that makes him mature? Wow.

Uh, I'm acting like this cause those are the correct terms to use for a person like him. Hell he didn't just leak Narrows, or the halo 3 Spartans, or spartan-094 biped but way more.

He simply isn't mature enough to be trusted with anything. Friend of yours or not, he is an immature prick.

1.) Bahaha, I just realized that you said I was running away. Do you realize how stupid that sounds alone? You're the one asking me not to make this an argument, therefore, I tried to stop it. I also didn't want to go too far off topic. Anyways, I'd be glad to finish this argument.
2.) I never said he wasn't immature. You should see him and Hayabusa argue (LOL). Just because he has older friends, doesn't make him any less mature or immature. I know a lot of 16 year olds who are just as immature.
3.) Uhhh, you do realize a fag is just a slang term for a homosexual person. I know there are a few people here who would take that to great offense. Use better words and broaden your vocabulary. I haven't used that language in my writing in a long time.
4.) Whether or not that's the case, you don't need to stoop yourself that low as to immaturely insult him in public. Let people hate him on their own. If he really acts like this, then there's no need for you to help them make their own decisions.
5.) Your post was an attempt to sound smart and it failed.

[Joshflighter]

1.) Where in my sentence does it say running away?

Oh god.. lol...........
2.) I never said he wasn't immature. You should see him and Hayabusa argue (LOL). Just because he has older friends, doesn't make him any less mature or immature. I know a lot of 16 year olds who are just as immature.

His actions do, and in this case, his age supports it.
3.) Uhhh, you do realize a fag is just a slang term for a homosexual person. I know there are a few people here who would take that to great offense. Use better words and broaden your vocabulary. I haven't used that language in my writing in a long time.

He might as well be that. Love your nit picking though again.
4.) Whether or not that's the case, you don't need to stoop yourself that low as to immaturely insult him in public. Let people hate him on their own. If he really acts like this, then there's no need for you to help them make their own decisions.

He made the wrong choice in the public. Why would I go on xfire and talk to him? I already blocked him cause he started spamming me. Really, dont cover his ass with other reasons if you dont know what really happen. I have friends, and sometimes they get what they deserve.
5.) Your post was an attempt to sound smart and it failed.
No, this statement did. Lol.


Read the bold.

[t3h m00kz]

You two need to calm down.

E: Reopened. No more drama.

[videoman]

First of all...I know this is a rather old post but i have to voice my opinion as well on this matter.
I have to agree with the original poster. I have seen some ridiculous bans on Halomaps Forums and some and a lot of them are unjustified. I had (notice how i said "had") a friend on Halomaps Forums that was banned for a crime that he did not commit. But the real perpetrator was allowed to stay and reek havoc and is still on the forums and still has not been banned. There are many other instances like this one. People getting banned who have done nothing wrong yet the real perpetrators are allowed to stay. Personally i think that the Halomaps Forums are rigged and the true perpetrator are actually paying Dennis to allow them to stay on the forums no matter what they say. Though this may sound crazy....i personally think it is a definite possibility. Also....notice how Dennis it the ONLY administrator and no one (as far as i know) else is? I swear....something is most definitely is afoot on the Halomaps Forums. Just felt like i should share my opinion as well.
OH! One more thing...is there a possibility that Dennis can ban a persons IP address from the Halomaps website completely? Because it will not load the website and not just the forums ether. Nothing seems to be working. Does someone know what is going on?

[Cortexian]

Yes it's possible for Dennis to IP ban people from the entire website.

It's his website, he can run it how he wants.

Ok, I just checked with a friend of mine and he said that his is also having problems as well. Is anyone else able to not access Halomaps.org website?

[DarkHalo003]

Haha I just read through the past few pages. Totally forgot I posted in this thread. Ah the good (or bad) old days. Not really sure why I even continued that argument. Maybe I grew up a little. 0.0

Dennis knows what he's doing. After being on that site for 3 years, his judgment does make a great amount of sound sense.

[Cortexian]

I can't seem to access Hm right now, site is likely down.

[Timo]

Halomaps is down for everyone: http://www.isup.me/halomaps.org

Dennis has been around for a very long time and provides an awesome service for free, I highly doubt he's is getting paid by some member of the community to pick off other members they don't like.

[t3h m00kz]

guaighasdfdsa what a fucking bump

my opinion of Dennis' moderation tactics has not changed since

[Limited]

The thing that gets me about Dennis is how inconsistent he is with his moderating, one moment he says yes, the next no. Still, he provides a great service for a lot of people at no charge out of the kindness of his heart, you cannot bash that.


Yet the "No more CMT topic" thread is still open for people to discuss.
So he banned CMT topics, and yet theres an active one right now? He also banished e3po from his whole network of websites, yet he has been allowed a new account and has an active thread on the forums.

See the inconsistencies?

[TVTyrant]

Dennis is just nice to a fault. He WANTS to trust those people. He doesn't want to build a wall. He sees us here at Modacity as a different community from his. We have different attitudes. Quite honestly, we're snobs.
Essentially, Modacity is the NFL Commissioner as Dennis is the NCAA.

[Timo]

I'm sure if he made a new account Dennis wouldn't care, I assume that's what e3po did.

[TVTyrant]

What did e3po do that was so bad? He was probably under a different name by the time I started lurking (mid 07).

[t3h m00kz]

some keylogger app shit or something I heard

[Limited]

What did e3po do that was so bad? He was probably under a different name by the time I started lurking (mid 07).I cant remember the specifics and the thread isnt loading. But in short he basically tried to hack into the site, threatened Dennis's business clients, putting Dennis's business into a tricky situation where he could have lost money.

Heres a link to a thread that Dennis made explaining it (for when Halomaps loads again)
http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=31189&start=11

Also yeah he made a keylogger and as well as an app that self-updated to stop it from working.

[TVTyrant]

some keylogger app shit or something I heard
Fuck.

If I were an Admin on Modacity I would not stand for that shit. votetvtyrant2011

[TVTyrant]

Also, in hilarity, HaloMaps is still down

[Kornman00]

You know what site isn't down?

halomods.com (http://www.halomods.com/ips/) :iamafag:

[videoman]

Wow......just wow. Apparently not only is Halomaps.org down (and still is) but the same goes for Megaupload.com. *Plays the Twilight Zone theme* What is up with that? Something MUST be afoot here (sarcasm intended).

[Cortexian]

HM is back up.
