If you have to ask then you're obviously trolling.


I don't even get your problem with CUSA, let alone Dammy. But you didn't evene manage to answer a simple question without resorting to the T word.

Here since 2002 and you don't know the issue with Dammy?


I know Dammy, not only from here, I know him from Moo and AW, please, do tell.

If you know him from moo, AW and here and are ignorant of the issue then I have nothing to educate you with that will not fall on obvious deaf ears.

For the sake of clarification, the problem with dammy (at least on A.org, I don't know about Moobunny or AmigaWorld) is that he has spent the last year actively spamming for CUSA here - every thread he's started since this one last March has been a plug for them. Either he's affiliated with them as a PR spammer (though he claims not to be an employee) or he makes a hobby out of spamming for a fly-by-night outfit selling ludicrously-priced, poorly-built PCs under the name of a dead computer company and brands that they have nothing in common with; either way, he's persistently annoying, and rude about it to boot.

I posted my first post in a very long time (lurker for years, previously had a news item of mine on the front page in ~2000) and I was flamed by many people as being a CUSA troll, (I'm not) buuuuut then dammy started talking about my tits. :evil:

For the record the hatred I felt in that thread made me wonder if this community was one I wanted to be a part of, but that is another matter altogether.

There's nothing wrong with Dammy, there is however, something seriously wrong with a small number of folks who appear to be obsessed with him for some bizarre reason.

You're 10x more annoying than he is. Seriously, you've no legitimate reason to complain about his behavior when you've posted 10x more CUSA related crap than he has, and even though the CUSA thread is buried in the back of the site and hidden from view, you still go in there and crap all over the place. Now that's rude, obnoxious behavior. You might want to take a look in the mirror before you start talking crap about other people.

It was about iWin.

Remember those guys, trying to scam us poor miggy users. Glad that business is all finished and we won't have to worry about scammers any longer. Now pardon me while I await my new Panda board from Troika.

These threads show up in the "new posts" viewer, which is the only place I really look for forum activity. I don't hunt them down as you seem to think.

Well, it's the 17th, and Barry has taken brinksmanship to a whole new level of fail.

@ Transition

I feel sorry for you, in a way; you've been set up and screwed over, just like all of us have been over the years. Welcome to our World.

You just might see the replies in "Two more weeks".

Well, not everyone is to like / accept the "rape of computer culture".
CUSA might look polite and customer oriented, but there is a real "trolling patrol"
trying to spread the "word of new" "Amiga". So big provocation invokes emotional responses.

In all other aspects this community (not only here) is helping and giving good advices, its CUSA that isn`t part of it and tries to penetrate so hard.

So I testify that Dammy has 99% done only adverts for CUSA at any Amiga board.

You can testify all you want.  However everyone knows you can't comprehend what you read anyway.
