He lied and he cost guys hard earned cash back when they were paying 200 bucks a month just to play wb. He impersonated a combat pilot to gain credability with people so theyd invest time and money in him. And when he got caught he impersonated a cancer victim to try and dodge the well deserved anger of a bunch of guys whos trust he betrayed in a big way. And worst of all he doesnt have the guts to say "sorry I shrecked up what I did was horrible" even on the internet.


Everyone needs to re-read this. This is the core issue. Pay attention. Let it sink in real deep. Because he wasn't punished, and because he got away with it, the liklihood of him creating yet another false account and attempting to perpetrate another scheme on this community is very great. A risk we as a community should not be willing to take.

I say hes a criminal. Id never stoop so low and say you would ever defend him. We can both agree hes scum and disagree on the criminal part.

Well now we know how the McCarthy hearings got started. What a witchhunt lol. Anyone not comletely condeming meta is automatically one of Voss's other screen names lol. You all got me..I'm ironman..no I'm Fester...or maybe I'm Voss? Maybe if i didnt switch my screenname because everyone thought I was a total jacka** I could actually use the same name for 3 sims over 6 years. I also love how the question of proof has been posed many times in this thread, and constantly been sidestepped by the Voss haters. .................."If you were around back then you would know"... Well that statement would be condemning evidence in any court:rolleyes:  I have no problem with metatron until someone provides some evidence..seems like an ok guy to me. Is that so unreasonable in America to provide proof? Someone convince me and Ill join in the slaughter of the so called "metavoss"

He admitted it here and admitted it in two other threads by inuendo, are you reading? Re-read the Bring back the Big maps thread, and pay attention to Metapotatos posts, especially his replies to Fester.

"You had to be there and see it happen" will have to suffice. Think about this though-what type of guy and what type of bullsheet would it take to bring on a reaction this strong years after the fact from guys who havent played ck wb ah in years? Trust me when I say that its not bitterness because voss made us look bad by torching us in the virtual skies.

Does this jog your memory?



  Wheew man , I can`t think you enough for posting this. This took a great load off of my mind. Now I know for sure that VOSS is keeping his instrument ticket up to date. I was beginning to think that the CIA pilots were getting a little slack and national defense was at risk.
  Such a relief. Now I can sleep a little better.

There is no question he has issues. But does it affect me flying in the same squadron as he? Nope!  Have I bought snake oil from the snake oil salesman? Nope!  Do I plan on retiring from the hornets because they have a dweeb in their squadron? Nope!  Do I give a rats *** about *my* "reputation" because I chose to stay on the squad when I found out he's voss? Nope! :)

The reason I posted is because that scumbag Voss still will not come clean. Also, there appears to be some that don't know / didn't believe the Voss backstory. Information is the best defense to someone like Voss. From what I've seen in this thread, he hasn't changed one bit.

Time won't make his lies go away. It's that simple. Festers motivations may not be pure - that does not absolve Voss. You are ignoring the past (and present) because you don't like the messenger.

-Smut



my motivations for starting this thread were:
1. artistic expression (made a book cover for shts n giggles
2. entertainment, I love seeing voss squirm in his web of lies
3. fascination, this story is just to interesting to not be publiscized and making it well know insures voss's inability to do it again.
4. I'm stuck trolling the bbs till my pc gets fixed so i am starting crap with worthy sleezbags on the bbs instead of the MA

Yes.   I will post it tonight when I get home.

"Pro-Line Software has nearly completed all of the initial tests for its
flight simulation "Tactical Aero Squadron." I have been so busy that many
letters have gone unanswered. I am sorry if this means yours has gone
unanswered. Please, email me at vosswars@nwark.com if you feel you have
been unfairly dropped from the "Extended Beta" list. I will be forwarding
all letters to our beta team.
Anyone that is not on the extended list should also reply. We are going to
increase the "extended" list and you never know how many spots may open up.

Oooooh. I can't WAIT!!!   ;)

Reason number 3 is my motivation for participating in this thread. Half our player base was not even here when Voss/Metapotato perpetrated the original crime. It's important they are aware of his criminal inclinations, especially since he abuses loopholes in the registration system to remain active in the community. This whole thread is a cautionary tale, a warning so hopefully others will not fall victim to his next lie ridden fraud scheme.

This is stupid,  Voss will never never be able to scheme like this again,  Every one is more on guard for things like this to happen, The flight community is not that big, and every one has heard the voss story 100 times or moe,  and if they didnt,  if he tried another scam,  They would.  I mean come on, you seem to think That by chaising him around in a game he plays for fun, and looking for his new handle is  the reason he is not starting another scam?  
Btw I still think if anyone could prove he defrauded this many people that he would have been sued, or even taked to small claims court.
people make him out to be the devil.

If anything I think bringing this stuff up over and over again makes him happy,  He is famous in his own little way, and will allways be famous if  people bring this up just to bring it up.
