The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Got the reference first time though... but I write stuff like that, and mean it too. Your lack of seriousness disturbs me... you're supposed to be this big scary bloke.
Either way, I still love to chat. Just not about Shaneo.
Hey, I like you. You

Uh? I "used" to be a spammer? Man that surprised me when I read that Snuggly. I am on spam mode right now, although this topic has given me a chance to post about something I am actually feeling involved in even if I can't actually get involved. I post as well as possible, it gets ignored, ah well. It happens again, ah well again. One last try, "hey you used to be a spammer, I like you :P" :-D What did surprise me is that the one person who read my post happened to be someone who I had a burning desire to knock off a while back :P Due to my banning of course ;) Anyway as I said, I'm off to play Tactical Ops. Get to speak to some people who listen to me and respect me for who I am.

Nooo - Cue the "Do you like me, Snuggly?" comments.
I think that's a fair punishment without eternally damning him for past mistakes.
