Finally, we've got to keep doomy out of here he is such an idiot if not a criminal.

Paul_gadd on the otherhand, violated piracy thingys, pretty bad, but most of the time I found him sound. But if you must break the rules you must pay.

Software piracy on the Amiga?  Give me a friggin break.  The platform is almost 20 years old all.  Yes it is still under the copyright laws but lets be realistic.  I wish there was a site like Atari-Forum for the Amiga, where it is open to all kinds of discussion and software trading.

As far as Doomy is concerned, I have to admit he did try as of late to adapt but once in a while he did slip.  Too bad, he did provide some interest to stuff on here...

I truely do hope he did not rip anyone off, if he did that is really messed up.

Yeah, this isn't a defense of Doomy, but I kinda liked the guy. Its a shame he had to go.

By the way, I noticed that a user had gone and voted 1/10 on all the recent images he had posted. THAT's childish too. I gave one of his images of an A500 tower 8, since I really liked it, but someone had decided that they didn't care about the image, they just wanted to blanket snub everything Doomy did. I find that a bit sad.

DoomMaster is gone?  Again?    Thank GOD!


Anyway, should we all be worried Doomy is going to hack Amiga.org and destroy the site?  Or was that threat just intended for last time he was banned?

Does that mean I can use my Avatar again now that Doomy is not here to complain anymore?

Sorry.  I was being [d]un[/d]characteristically sarcastic again.

I can remember once when MichTron (sp?), publishers of some great early games like Tanglewood and Time Bandit offered a reward to anyone who reported to the police an Atari ST or Amiga software pirate.  The story goes (I say story 'cause this was pre-WWW) that after getting thousands of letters from users saying that they tried reporting pirates to the FBI, police, phone company (BBSes), etc. with absolutely no luck, that MichTron decided the Atari ST and Amiga were unviable markets, and went into some other line of business.   That's just one amongst a sea of similar stories.  Now days, you need a hit game to recover your development costs.  Back then, you needed a hit game to offset the 10:1 piracy ratio.

Obviously, piracy of old games is not "hurting Amiga" anymore, but back in the day, it did damage on a scale that nobody fully appreciated.

@Cyberus:

Hehe, you are leeching pictures off my site. :-) I didn't know that that picture was still there. :lol: I created it ages ago.

[x56h34]

Let's not forget the South Park Doomy too. :-)

EDIT: Image removed.

It doesn't matter what you feel, or how old the Amiga platform is.  

The software is protected by law, meaning that if Amiga.org participates, or allows the spread of illegal software, we are legally liable and could be sued.  That is not the stance that we want to take.

Word of warning to all.  Please stop posting these images, in your signature or otherwise.  I'd hate for one of your accounts to be accidentally deleted because one of us mistakenly thought you were Doomy back in one of his alter-ego accounts.  He has, in the past, created multiple accounts long before he was banned in anticipation of being banned.
