The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
The Situation: Contrary to popular belief, I was actually off SR for 10 days, until the pressure got too far for me to handle. I promised Stryke that I wouldn't return for 30 days, but the torment, insults and accusations behind my back have got to me to the point where I have to come back and make a statement.
My statement: I want to thank those who stood up for me (namely Edgy) and reported certain people for particular offences (though I doubt much will be done). Next agenda - Mr Snuggly. Now, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I was wondering if we can start a clean slate and I can be eligible for GAD again and it can go back to normal. Notables, contenders and anyone else whose wondering. I will not be starting a boycott unless myself or others are bullied. We have the support, but I really don't want to start a war on these forums. To anyone that has badmouthed me: I don't hate you, but am incredibly disappointed at your ignorance and the pure fact that you had to say it behind my back. I don't enjoy FOG as much as I used to, partly due to my own selfishness, but everyone on here is so hostile towards each other now, and trying to catch each other copying (and copying too!). When it was me, Grix, Golden Rhino, SSX Pro and Dringo, it was perfect. This grading system is in my opinion a sham and is not the right way to go about things.
The bottom line is this: I want it to go back to normal, with NO insults, because I have a zero tolerance for bullying on these forums and I'm sick to death of it. I want to win GAD's, I want to chat about games, films and life, and I want to be accepted, if I can put the term loosely. I still stand by my premise that the "I HATE YOU!" post was a joke, and SR were thinking up any reason to get me banned. However, I just wanna start again as Desert Beetle and make some friends on here, and possible make the peace between a few enemies. I don't want this topic filled up with crap about how much of a "loser" I am, but sensible contributions. I don't mind honest opinions, but please keep the insults to a very low minimum. Cheers. Shaun.
doing so now....

Because I thought SR had a prejudiced against me, so I thought I had to write something super to win, so I copied. I also thought I wasn't good enough. I haven't copied since I signed up as Salevaa (or got banned as Firebalt).

Snuggly, don't take this the wrong way, but if we have all forgiven him, then why can't you. He did the topic called "I hate you". he complained that he hatted everyone except Ant. But, we have all forgot about that. That's in the past. So, can't you forgive him??? I may not win any GAD's anymore because of this, but I feel it needs to be said. As for what Goatboy said, well, that's just bang out of order.
T-Devil!
The hints in question are at http://special.reserve.co.uk/reviews/hints.php?hintco=1010149476 and they're by Cooldogs.
The ones I've posted are genuine as I go by them myself!
> I think we're all agreed, I'm fantastic.
You are fantastic I'll say that for you.
You're also a force to be reckoned with :D
Why did you keep copying, after you were caught the first time?
Edgy, e-mail me the location of those hints and I'll get them removed, sorry they got overlooked last time.
Thanks.
If I win for this, can I get Conkee Smash Dog please?
Thanks.
> By the way, that was directed at Shaun, not you Dognads.
Oh right!
I said it in my other post but i'll say it here to.
I apreciate the fact that you gave me a second chance and for that I thankyou.
