The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Ok, so I did some work for Tom Calahan, a member of these forums and owner of www.viewandplay.co.uk the thread is here and I’d like some of you to read it:
http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/ display_messages.php?threadid=29919 &forumid=206 [DELETE THE SPACES!!]
What it said in the first post was:
“All you need to do is design a logo that fits in with the rest of the place. Flash5 and anything else can be used, just TRY and keep it's size down a bit as the page will take forever to load.”
So I designed my logo, and won. Tom then said:
I think Andi's logo already feels like it's at home. Nice one dude. Like I said with Rob, whoever wins I'll give you a DVD up to £20 outta me own money.
(http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/ display_messages.php?forumid=206&threadid=29919 &offset=20¤tsort=desc) [DELETE THE SPACES!!]
Now I receive this e-mail from him:
The logo didn't meet the required specifications as after much thought, we came to the conclusion that it was 1mm too wide therefore, invalid. Please kindly take your logo and firmly lodge it up your ar*e.
So, what do you vote I do? I’m in the process of posting this on all the forums I know he uses, and I’ll e-mail a copy to SR. I’m also currently writing an e-mail to his hosts to see if they’ll do anything, for I don’t like to be messed around..
Oh and Tom, I have numerous screenshots to prove your site used my logo, so don’t get any bright ideas

Weird eh.

When you sign up with your ISP and usually with an internet host, it usually tells you in the terms of use that impersonating someone else on the web is illegal.
Just to let you know...

He has not given a disclaimer, thus he is in the wrong.

Well basically, I've claimed Lords Of The Realm 3 to stop the 90 day expiry limit. (god knows what that game is about, but it isn't out for ages, so it'll do). When I get beaten, I'll change the claim and mail what I get to the winner. If I don't claim soon enough, I'll end up with Lords Of The Realm 3.
Unless I change the claim again, of course...

Print the topic and your email for evidence though!!!
1mm to wide my (other name for donkey!)
If he didn't specify any width settings in the first place, then it's his own problem and he still owes you that prize.

Hmmmm, I'm a little low on money at the moment Rob, my website is draining it all. I can give you a DVD of your choice up to £20 though.
He said that on this board. However it has nothing to do with Special Reserve.

Excellent, who's going to choose it if nobody wins?
My NetStorm competition however, is totally valid and still open for challengers.
I will point out though, you'd better beat me before the end of the year or I'll end up with some obscure PC game being delieverd to my house before I can change the claim.
So play me, cowards!

Tom, have you done something to my account on viewandplay? I can't log on, yet I haven't done anything wrong, so you can't have banned me. I've tried that e-mail thingy as well, it e-mails me a new password, I activate it, it doesn't work. I can't sign up again either as I have no other e-mail.
Have you got something against me?
All seems fine my end. Not sure what's up with that.
