The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
I would like you to read this a few times before passing your judgements on me.
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.

I don't trust Shaneo anymore.
Maybe should he ever win again in ther future, he should NOT claim the game, to show how sorry he is for winning with other peoples work in the past.
Only when he has not claimed the same number of games that he has wrongfully won would he have shown he is actually sorry and willing to change.
Saying sorry, and having us forgive you, only to do it again is a kick in the teeth none of us want.
Saying Snuggly has a vendetta against Shaneo is unfair. He is perfectly within his right to dislike him for being made a mockery of by Shaneo.
And Goatboy. Say you ARE better than everyone else. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with confidence, and being happy with who you are.
"I'm Grix Thraves and I rule" said a certain poster, I forget who.
On a certain website, when you look at my details the first two words are "I rule".
Sod what the rest of the world things, I can do whatever I want, be whatever I want.
Anyone that criticises anyone else for this attitude is no more than a turnip.
Yes I said turnip.

C'mon people this is the Internet! Chill out life itself is too full of arguments for you to do it all again on here. If anyone really takes this as seriously as some of the posts seem then walk away. Go discover beer and women, theres too much other stuff to worry about without taking this place too seriously.
PEACE AND LOVE (in a dalek voice)

I don't think Goaty needs anyone to stick up for him given that he doesn't seem to care if you insult him and if he did he would out insult/argue you anyway.
I do want to say something though because I think ou people are siding with completely the wrong person. Suppose Goaty was a sensitive soul and all of you insult him and he decides that he's just about had it with these forums, and leaves them. If that happens then you've lost one of the few posters who has a near perfect hit rate with his posts. By that I mean that pretty much all of his stuff is interesting to read. That's why he has a gold name and some of you don't. It seems that other notables are getting a bit bored with all the back biting and the bitterness as well. Grix for one seems jaded. If you lose these posters then the forums lose out too.
So don't go around calling Goaty a tool because he says he doesn't like Shaneo for copying. He's not whinging; he's saying he doesn't like people who plagiarise. Frankly, neither do I. I've had my history coursework copied because some careless teacher left it lying around. Maybe you don't gt the same feeling when you post a review on here, but when I had spent weeks reading many books on Richard III and noting them and looking for quotations, it made me just a little bit angry when some punk who had done sod all copied the lot. Copying another person's work is lazy, foolish and above all wrong.
Don't get at Snuggly either or suggest that he has a "vendetta" against Shaneo. Snuggly spends hours reading through your posts and reviews looking for people to give free Games to. He writes the damn funny news monkey stories and despite all this he posts on here as well. Snuggly is another one of the people who makes these forums worth coming to. He's not going to change his mind about Shaneo because he has said so about five times already, and he doesn't have to either because his name is in green and yours isn't.
If someone calls you poncy for liking foreign films, not that anything like that's ever happened to me, then call them a tool and tell them why they're wrong. If someone calls you a beardy fool for liking LOTR then give as good as you get. That's okay because it should be good natured and they are opinions. Your opinion is your right to disagree. However, try not to descend to personal abuse, don't call people a tool for not liking someone who persistently copies. Don't embitter the people who make SR what it is.
I'm not saying that I'm by any means perfect, but I'm getting better. Today is palindromic, another date like this won't come along for 100-odd years (according to radio 5) so why not take this opportunity to change.
Come on people. Group hug time!

This obviously all happened b4 i joined, so i can't really comment failry. My position is cheaters forfit there chances of winning by cheating, and by stoping real reviews like mine winning games,even though my recent review was very poor at least i can say it was mine.
Yep, that Simon Cowe... Shaun, I meant shaun, really does liven the place up.

I am not about to back him up... but he's the bad boy of the forum... the trouble maker... a character in his own right... it's actually making the place more interesting...

Hey MJ, I've always respected you. You have a lot of variety in your posts and an open mind, I like that.
Shaneo? I like the lad, personally. He can stay as long as there's no more cheating, but it's up to SR really.

Pikeys have no humour, it seems.
