Post by: Pyro on May 01, 2000, 10:21:00 AM
I was tipped off about our favorite anonymous spiteful poster, Macboy, and checked out the IP.  It turns out that Macboy is same person known to some of you as MG over on AGW.  Now he doesn't have to feel guilty about skulking around under the shadow of anonymity which I'm sure was weighing heavily on his conscience.

Thanks pyro...it explains and says a lot about him.

Daff, you're a funny one, I posted along time ago (in Off-Topic) about AH rotating Trainers to avoid stagnation (in regard to prevention of one burning out, giving them back their free time without being paged) and then you guys interpret it as Ripsnort calling you stagnated, LOL!  You crack me up!

Just curious as to how you percieve the english language...if someone yells "Duck", do you:

I have a few questions;

Does this mean you admit to being MG of ALT.GAMES.WARBIRDS forum?

If so, why did you feel it was appropriate  to come into this forum and FLAME this community?

What exactly is it about AH that bothers you so?

According to your MACBOY profile you are a FlightSim Review Writer? Amatuer or Professional?

Even as an amatuer FlightSim Review Writer, where is your objectivity and non-bias?

If you are a professional FlightSim Review Writer what Organization do you work for?

I can only hold any such media as you may work for in suspect as to any opinions or reviews they may present if they condone and permit such behavior from thier journalists.

Gotta agree. Some may not wish to read pro-AH posts, and that is ok. I have to respect the ones who can say so without having to hide behind a mask. Or their momma's skirts.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

MacboyG (or whoever you are)your attempts at making a statement against AH posts at AGW have sadly backfired. You are now a stench in the nostrils both here and AGW.

I don't care whether you like AH or not, but I could respect you more if you had the guts to post under your real name. All this shows me is you haven't the maturity to face the fallout. If you can't back up your words, better to hold your tongue.

Post by: Spitboy on May 05, 2000, 12:53:00 AM
Oh, but Rip only made 1 (one) post back in January ...

<rolls eyes>

And if you believe that sorry justification, you didn't bother to follow through and do your homework.

First off, lemme say out front that I got nothing against HTC or AH. It looks to be a damn fine sim. I know and respect many of the pilots who fly here. I still maintain my belief that HT made a mistake by not supporting the Mac from the outset, and that it could have made business sense for him. But that's beside the point, and for history to judge.

My point it, Rip is the Macboy of AGW, albeit non-pseudonymed and with a "I'm yer buddy!" attitude. In fact, he was even more annoying than Macboy to the AGW crowd. Macboy made 8 (eight) posts here. Some were rather tame, some were combative. Rip made 480 some posts on AGW since April 1999. Granted, many were pre-AH. But ever since he DID discover his true calling as Defender of AH, all of his posts (and there were MANY, DOZENS, over WEEKS) had a certain "tone" to them. All would somehow or another work AH into the friendly conversation with a, "you should try it!" or a "come on over!"

But poor Rip, who recently exited stage left from AGW in a fit or moral outrage over his treatment, sees things this way:

 
Quote
I'll make my post short, I made 1 post in the general topic BB back in Jan. and have been branded ever since. I posted some "whats new in AH" posts in off-topic and had one guy (who was a WB trainer at that!) say he'da banned me from AGW if it was his board.

I say to these individuals "Grow up!"

Someday they will figure out that competition is a good thing.

No, Rip. Revisionist history is not allowed. That "one post" came after dozens and dozens of others over WEEKS and WEEKS were you "cordially" trumpeted AH in the AGW forums. Whenever a WB player would voice any mild gripe about WB, in would step Rip with "Try AH! We'll be there to help you learn the ropes!" Or, "In AH my connection is rock solid!" Etc. Etc. "Check your billing! iEN screwed mine up! I'm calling the Attorneys General!" "Hey, AH has vehicles!" Etc. Etc. When a WB'er would say he tried AH, there would be Rip, with a "Come to AH training, we've got trainers now!" Etc. Etc.

Many times prior to that "one post" folks had raised the issue that your cheerleading for AH was becoming tiresome. That "one post" just brought it to a head. As evidenced by the many people (more than lashed out at or were perturbed by Macboy here, ironically) who finally had had enough and asked you to cut it out and keep it to off topic if you feel the need to constantly cheerlead for AH.

That's the history. Anyone can go back and read it. Unfortunately the search at AGW is a little porked from argo's recent move, but you can get the idea from the many posts that remain.

Now, on to Macboy. Obviously a troll, his posts were not really inflammatory. Most took them in good jest or ignored them. Except for the 7th one in the  http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/002740.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/002740.html)  thread.

And even that post, for God's sake, was not a heinous crime. Most people either poked fun back, or ignored it. But up steps Rip, Defender of AH, to make sure the fire is fanned.

 
Quote
I've done a little research, since I have all this neat security equipment at my company, and found out who Macboy is.(Macboy, did you not know that your ISP can be traced ?) I won't give you his name, but I will tell you this, he (obviously) has a Mac, cannot play AH, so considers the grapes very sour. I've had a number of derogatory flames from him in AGW and his ego and head doesn't fit into the cockpit of his virtual A/C. He will always be an arrogant, bitter, mac-loving moron. So, best to not even respond to his posts, since that's how he gets his kicks.

A little over-the-top of a reaction for a simple troll? Remember, this is Rip, AH Trainer, the same guy who said:

 
Quote
I posted some "whats new in AH" posts in off-topic and had one guy (who was a WB trainer at that!) say he'da banned me from AGW if it was his board.

Oooh, that nasty WB trainer! Hell, Rip, at least that WB trainer didn't stoop to the level of a certain AH trainer, trace your Internet activities and call you an "arrogant, bitter, [AH]-loving moron."

What are you trying to prove Rip? And more important, how did you get his IP? And, lastly, why do you ignore you own advice of wisely ignoring a troller, and rip into him to fan the flames even more? For a person whose crime was 8 posts in several weeks, most tame and unnoticed?

For the love of Mother, after reading Pyro's post and Rip's moral outrage in exposing Macboy like he was some kiddie-porn distributor or biological weapons dealer, I expected a little more than 8 rather lame posts! I expected a locust-like plague of posts, threads with hundreds of angry and outraged players! I expected to see "I'm leaving AH if you don't ban Macboy!" threads. Lord help you if you ever get a real troll in here. What, will Pyro and Rip enlist the FBI and NSA to find him?

Sorry for the long rant. Some of you know me, some don't. But I really, REALLY get tired of hearing Rip trying to justify his actions and paint himself as an innocent martyr. That and I find it totally hilarious that he's so outraged over Macboy's 8 lame posts; to the point where he went so far as to match up IPs. Still curious about how you did that, Rip. Care to shed any light?

And finally, you might think I got some kind of vendetta against Rip. I don't. I just get sick and tired of listening to his justifications and his air of moral superiority over on AGW. And now this Macboy thing has shown me what he's REALLY all about. I just want to make sure everyone knows the WHOLE story.

Whenever a WB player would voice any mild gripe about WB, in would step Rip with:


 "Try AH! We'll be there to help you learn the ropes!"

Yep, and you took that out of context, I can make anyone look bad taking stuff out of context.


Or, "In AH my connection is rock solid!"

Post the whole response please, again, out of context, I was responding to bad connects, and what games were good connects, and what games were bad connect, and why this is...

 "Check your billing! iEN  screwed mine up! I'm calling the Attorneys General!"

Yep, just warning others who might have  this problem, and many did!  Good thing I shed light on it!

"Hey, AH has vehicles!"

That was posted in OFF-TOPIC

When a WB'er  would say he tried AH, there would be Rip, with a "Come to AH training, we've got trainers now!"

You failed to mention the whole thread  again, the individual was saying on this and that was screwed up, I offered my assistance to the individual.  I'm not going to stand by while someone blasts the sim for their inexperience.

You know what, I still like your agressiveness, too bad you can't practice  it that well on the field of battle ;p

C'mon, guys.

Spitboy is trying to shed light on the AGW perception of events. I know Rip meant well in every post he made, but it wasn't received that way. Read Badger's post and you get a fair idea of what I believe happened.

I'm not trying to take sides here, but I do know there are two sides to any argument. Even if you don't agree point-for-point what Spitboy said, try to see the overall viewpoint he is posting from.

Again, this whole argument is about perceptions, not intentions.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

I will dig that up Daff, if you'd like, however some of those long threads are unreadable now.

Someone actually counted and posted what the metrics were in AGW.

Give me a half a day or so, I will pull up the thread here in AH as well.

Edit: Found the AH Thread: see my post "Daff" above.  Also, avg. age is 33.81, I said "offhand" about 38 yrs., wasn't too far off eh ol' buddy?   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  The experience in the armed services of respective countries was on AGW forum, don't forget, in Germany, you automatically go into service at age 18 I believe, other countries the same, so, when I said about 40% served, I'll be you a buck I wasn't too far off.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

BTW, some of your responses have been real winners Daff:
Daff:I've never seen cloud like that in real life, though...get within 10 feet and you white-out. Fuel modifier is artificially high forcing the use of droptanks.                     View system is, if anything, even more unrealistic than WB. Nobody adjust the seats while looking from left to right. No                    seat I've ever seen can be adjusted a couple of feet from side to side!                     There's no SL's, WeW's, EMCs or HA.                     Most mportantly..gunnery is a joke.Want more opinions?

But yet, you fly AH an AWEFULLY lot for hammaring it, little crow served?  How would you like it sir?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  Yes, we WOULD like more opinions Daff.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I invented Brat, and Westy - also 50% of the other handles posting on this UBB are my other "personas".

I have multiple paid accounts that I use to pad my score by spawning them at a field I've prepped for vulching in my black helicopter.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hi ya'll, long time.

MG/Macboy/studmuffinboy/Likeslittleboys, after the roadkill I got from you when I tried WB for an article, this has definitely made my week.

I hope someone posts that picture of you with the loaf hairdo and shirt buttoned down to your chest again, it exemplifies the loser that you truly are.

As for your lawyer, I'll I can say is "haha".  

Guess we'll see how it all works out.

Why does it matter what name you post under?  The only reason that it could possibly matter is if you were offering an opinion that you desired to be respected BECAUSE of your name.

I am Lizking in most places, Gadfly here and various other names in other games.  So what?

I expect my posts to be taken for what is contained within them, not a stupid online name that is anonymous in any event.

I stated this idea before when we had some "questionable" posts from unknown individuals.

We need to have a revision on the bbs where you post with the same handle you fly with or an obvious derivative of it. No anonymous posters no people posting under more than one name at all. You fly and you can post. You must register with a name and stay with it. If you just want the game for H2H then limit the bbs participation for those folks to that thread. No hiding behind a name that is made up on the spur of the moment to flame or cause a problem on the board.

If you can't stand to have YOUR name or handle attached to the post then you have no reason to post it.

 I swore it off . Then thought I'd wait a few weeks to see if the drivel and whining would abate. After a month went by, it didn't.
 I waited to see if the people such as yourself, Staga or Hristo would make *any* kind of positive contributions to the board and community atmosphere. Again. Another 'didn't".

 To allow myself to get frustrated with people such as yourself who are not even HTC customers was dumb on my part. I pay my $30/mo and I feel that doing so allows me a customers right to voice an opinion. I don't feel that you, Hristo or several others who are highly dispruptive do. At least here on this board anyway.

 I'm positive now that I am not, nor was I, a problem "R4M". If anything I was too blunt and out spoken. Reading here (and elsewhere that AH is discussed) and seeing how people have spoken up and against some of the problems and issues that have been encountered here by the community I find I'm not "going against the current" at all.

 But I also cannot get my old ubb board id back.

 And after a several weeks of abstinance I no longer feel like posting here as I used to once either. Just small bits every now and then.

 Oh!    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)  And I'm not Brat, Jigad, or anyone else. Curly was lost too in the board outage HTC had a couple of months ago. That's the only other handle I ever used on the boards and to be honest it came before "Westy".

 And... FYI, I've never used anything but Westy online. And I've only flown H2H once in one of Nuttz's terrain.  That ought to screw with the paranoidal ones a bit!

 I still would have alot of quitting to do before I catch up to you RAM.  Even though I've never cancelled a paying account to date. And I've never seen a Typhoon shoot at me backwards.

Excuse me?... I AM a HTC customer. I left once back in late november and returned in early January under a different handle. That is one month of non-paying time. I left again one week before D9 came to AH and was here again one week after. That makes up for 45 days of non-paying in Aces High. I am as much a customer of HTC as you are, but the difference is that I dont burn the others in flames because they think different than me. And I dont do gravedancing either on people who are moving away (or are banned.....remember NathBDP's banning thread?).

are you sure?...I did. And dont tell stupidities because if I haven't opened a BIG can of worms in this forums (dude, I DO have hard proof about hacking,and yes,that includes the backwards firing hack TOO. All the proofs have been sent to HTC) is because I have at least a bit of brain -not much, tho, and the proof is that I am trying to argue with you  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)- thing that you sorely lack.

You said you werent posting again, butwhat I find hilarious isn't that you are indeed posting again, it is that you do it under a fake BBS handle, and you do it in a thread about anonimity and fake handles. And it IS hilarious.

What is not hilarious is what you are. Get a life. You need it.

BTW R4M is my handle here because my old one was lost on the BBS crash some months ago.

 You're on the outside looking in RAM.  Unless you have yet another online mystery handle you fly under these days. How many have you had so far?

 You're words are shallow and meaningless when considering your checkered past here and online.

 And here, this may help you

 http:/www.I_SeeCheatsEverywhere.org


FYI (again)  this is the board name I chose during the same crash that made you lose your board handle. I got my old one back. Like I said my old one is gone for good now. invalid email addy and unkown p/w make it irretrievable.

 But as a customer and community member I feel it is my responsibilty to help out online and on the boards. And even participate in the "banter"  It was my rash decision to stop posting completely. It's also my perogative to change that decision too. But you're not a customer  RAM. Or what is the mystery handle these days?? IT's not RAM and not R4M
.
 So what keeps bringing you back to cheatville and the land of the anti-LW conspiracy? At least "MG" left. Well, maybe not of his own accord.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Westy some ppl though it was a "positive contribution" from me to flame you away from this UBB  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Anyway nice to have you back  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

(Btw what were your "Positive contributions" to this board? Were not counting things like calling other ppl asses... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif))

 Never was "angry" Staga. Disgusted? Perhaps. Dissapointed? You bet.  Enough to want to write off participating here.

 If you need to see any help or contributions to trying to make AH then do a search by Westy or Squidzilla. You'll also find all my spam,  but  hey <shrug>,  that's for you to wade through if your curious as to what I claim.

 As for who would pat you on the back for flaming me? Really? Couldn't care. I suspect they'd be posters who I'd consider 'dead weight' anyway.
